Red Riding Hood - Michigan Child Photographer

So for a while now, I've wanted to explore the Red Riding Hood theme a little..but have it more edgy, mysterious, a little darker. Since I am working on new textures that are edgier, I thought..PERFECT timing..both to play with my vision and my new textures.

Grabbed my muse (daughter) made her up. Yes, we did make-up..dark eyes were a must for this. Sprayed ourselves with bug spray and off we went to our enchanted, full of mystery forest. This did not last long..we were almost getting carried away by the sketters..bug spray, PFT I say..so had no effect on them. Its a shame as it was shaping up to be awesome. My daughter has the biggest imagination and she played right into it...telling the story as we went along.

We made it to "grannys" house (ours) and we snapped a few more shots of her make up and the hair piece she wanted to wear.

The last image is one of my favorites..though it does not show my daughters personality as it is almost dark..she looks like she is thinking naughty thoughts. I love it the same as she was playing into the more mysterious, scary side of Red Riding Hood.

So here's our short version of the story, from cautiously entering the forest, to looking for the big bad wolf....let us take you on an adventure.

Blessings to all : )

KML Creatives Textures

Just a couple more days until KML Creatives is ready to go!!! WHOO HOO!!!

At present I am working on a second texture pack. This is a dirty, edgy, grungy pack. Not for the faint of heart! Sometimes some images just SCREAM for more drama! Well, at least some of mine, so I got to it and started creating!

Below are some samples of these new textures and the effects they have on images.

Also, I promised to give away a freebie!!! So I decided to give away 2 freebies! One texture is from the Artists Canvas Textures (available for purchase on Friday) and another from the new pack that I am working on now. I had a hard time choosing which textures to let you sample! I hope you like them! I would love to see what you do with them, so if you use them, please share with me on my KML Creatives facebook page.

Thanks everyone! I so appreciate the support and the patience!
