My new set of digital papers, Winter Wonderland, was inspired by the set we’re building for the studio. Created with the jewels toned blues of winter mixed with warmer browns and a touch of green, these papers are perfect for your winter designs.

Not much to say today aside from I hope you all are enjoying the amazing weather we’ve been having lately. The weather this summer really has been beautiful and I’m so sad to see it go. On that note, I know fall is just around the corner when Starbuks breaks out their Pumpkin Spice Latte (my fave!) and the Colts season begins. But lets not talk about the Colts…I’m still sad about last night.

Ok…so on to the photos.

Oh! And don’t forget this Friday is the monthly open house here at the studio and downtown Greenfield. I hope to see lots of my blog readers here visiting our studio and the wonderful artists at the Creative Arts Center. And it’s the official grand opening of Wedding Central and I hear they can put on quite a party!

I recently shot GenMarie’s new fall clothing line, Autumn Sky and had to share the images here. I’m in love with the quality of the clothing and the color combos of the fabrics. Plus the designer behind it all, the lovely Christine, is beyond sweet! If you want to see the full catalog head over to http://genmarieboutique.blogspot.com/ and click on the catalog tab.

My new digital paper set, the Autumn Whisper Collection, is available! These are great for album design, canvases and more. I’ve also been using them as layered textures along with my Texture Action with incredible results.

Here are a few images I’ve edited with the Autumn Whispers Papers either as a texture or as a background.

I can’t believe summer is nearly over-for my boys that is-they start school next week! Good grief, I could have sworn they JUST got out last week. It’s amazing how time really does fly by.

Now is the perfect time to plan your fall or Christmas portrait session. We will be accepting appointments through November this year and will be closed in December and the first week of January. Sessions do fill quickly this time of year so I encourage you to reserve your date soon.

We will be conducting our limited Itty Bitty sessions again this fall. These sessions are much shorter then a full session and will result in 5-10 images for you to select from. Sessions will last 30 minutes and are available only on certain dates and locations in central Indiana-to be announced soon. The Itty Bitty sessions fill very quickly, so watch for the announcement on the blog and website.

The heat is here and so is our Super Summer Sale!

PLUS…I’m happy to announce that we have a hot new action Set…URBAN ROCK.

The new action set includes my new Soft Pop action that I’ve been using a lot lately. It’s a color pop action that also includes a skin softening layer and is quick and easy to use. Also included in the set are 4 Urban style Cross Processing actions, 2 filter type actions, a brightening action to save those underexposed images, plus one of my faves-the Bass action. The Bass adds gorgeous rich tones to your image and is great for all types of settings-urban or natural. Plus you get several other actions as well.
All of the images below were edited with the Urban Rock Set.

You can see more examples on my Actions Site…http://actions.leahprofancik.com

I’m a bit slow at posting these…so I may have a bit of a backlog. Claudia sent in a photo of her adorable little girl dressed in a tutu…I love it!

Claudia writes;

…here is a picture of my daughter Hope, she will be 5 end of this month. Last Saturday I took her to the local Park where she loves to run and pretent to be a Fairy. She loves to dress up in her Tutu-dress and just run though the grass……I thought I would enter this in your Contest.

Claudia, your little girl is beautiful!

Keep the entries coming…I’ll try to post one a day until I get caught up, lol.

Ok…so it’s been brought to my attention that I haven’t had a contest in a while. So, here we go! We’ve been hit with some pretty rough weather here in Indiana, but this week we’re finally getting some sweet summer sunshine. Which has prompted my kiddos to head outside…they’ve been spending pretty much all of their time outside enjoying the incredible weather. And of course I’ve been joining them after work-who can resist this beautiful weather!

So…the theme of this contest is going to be your little ones enjoying the outdoors. Send me a snapshot of your child having a blast outside and tell me what their favorite thing about summer is (in their words if they are old enough). And if you are older (high school seniors, expecting moms and engaged couples…here’s your chance) send me a photo of you on your favorite vacation and tell me why it was so awesome. It’s as simple as that! Send your entries to lprofancik@yahoo.com

I’ll post the entries as I receive them and then I’ll open the polls. Feel free to invite your friends and families to vote for your entry. Please note that voting will be done by email and we will be confirming the email addresses as valid.

The Grand Prize winner will receive a complimentary session and an 800.00 gift card for your session. Three complimentary sessions and 150.00 gift cards will be given to the runner ups. Sessions must be completed in 2008.

Void where prohibited, rules subject to change without notice.

I want to invite my readers to come visit the studio from 5-9pm on the second Friday of each month. Take a tour of the studio, enjoy refreshments, and don’t forget about our studio specials available only during the Second Friday events! Also, this month you’ll have a chance to see and purchase Matilda Jane Clothing-one of my favorite brands for children. So stop on by, we’d love to see you!

Matilda Jane Clothing, that is. Our next Second Friday event will be this Friday and you won’t want to miss this one! Not only will we have specials available only for Second Friday guests, but we’ll also be hosting a Matilda Jane Clothing Trunk show! If you’ve watched the blog long enough, you know I’m a huge fan of this wonderful brand for little girls.  They’ve got it all-homegrown here in Indiana, the clothes are adorable, unique and funky all at once, plus these are outfits you won’t see on every kid at the mall. So, be sure to come by and check out the styles!
