Just Us

We thought we would officially introduce ourselves since we have yet to do so on our blog. We are Melanie and Ashley Knight. We are the photographers and like to show our personalities and our creative minds through photography. We absolutely LOVE taking pictures!! Since we have never officially posted pictures of ourselves, we decided to do a photo shoot of "just us". What you will see in the following pictures are our silliness to our serious sides. Thank you for sharing in this amazing experience and journey with us!!




































Elijah Tatum

We took our son to a very special place for the following pictures. We have always dreamed of having a little boy in overalls. Those two things just "go together" in the south. So, we took him to this "special place" and took some awesome pictures of him!! Enjoy!!

Editing

We have often been asked why does it take several days to "edit" pictures. Well, first of all, there is a difference between just turning a picture to black and white and then truly editing a picture. Once you photograph a subject, you then have to take it and usually crop it down to what you want it to look like. Then, comes the fun. This is where the creativity begins. I have begun learning about the editing process even though there are still things that I have to get my computer savvy husband to fix for me!! I will have to say that I did do some of the editing in the following pictures which I am extremely happy about. You have probably seen these in an earlier post but the following are those edited! Hope you enjoy these as much as we have playing with them!!


Cool Caden!
I love these pacifiers with the names on them!! Too cute!

Miss Preslei!


The Kiss



I love this one. We didn't really do a lot of editing to it except for a few touch ups and sepia tone.




Mr. Cason and the butterfly. This one is too cute. I had this envisioned like this in my mind when I took this picture!

If you notice in this one, everything is in black and white except for Cason's name. This one was a little tricky to do. It took some effort to work with the font that his name is embroidered with.
