ParticipantI need to get off my backside and start charging for my photos. If these folks can do it, I sure as hell can.
Ah Jiminy Crickets! I have a conscience.

ParticipantAmazing image… https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=103141956541840&set=pb.100005381075891.-2207520000.1362982845&type=3&theater
In fact her whole page is truly something 😉

ParticipantI would totally book SB Photography for my wedding. I mean she will give you a snow globe AND two key rings. Who doesn’t want that?

ParticipantWow ya’ll found some gems! Nice work.
First off, that Anytime Photography. I can’t STAND this:
It looks like in so many of her shots she is using a kit lens or a high f/stop and then selecting the background and blurring it. But her selection is terrible. Just look at the lines running down his back or in front of their face in that shot. Ugh. If you are going to do that, then do it on a second layer and then blend that shit in. Here is the original shot that she edited to hell:
This shot is nothing amazing, but if you bumped up the light some it would have been a lot better, instead of the obviously faked blur. I do love that she has the typical fauxtog photo effects though, including:
Out of focus and blurry shots for her profile picture.
More faking the blurred background. Yuck.
Again, and this time with no kids looking anywhere close to the camera.
Wow can’t believe that photo with the Carlie’s face completely hidden in shadow would not get some likes!
So damn obvious she is using just a pop-up flash on this shot. Those wedding shots she got the “honor to photograph” could have easily been done by anybody in the crowd with a nice cellphone.
My favorite part of that whole page is that she hasn’t done shit in almost a year and only has like 7 albums, most of which nobody even liked a single picture. Then she starts this “Cutest Kid Contest” after ignoring her page for a year and all of sudden has over 700 likes. The metrics show that she had nobody looking or like the page, so bravo for a good marketing gimmick, but that is all it really is. The only reason the winner will be happy is that the shots will be free, so they aren’t really out anything. But what a horrible fauxtographer in general.
March 11, 2013 at 11:52 am #7652ParticipantAlicia Rose is truly frontpage worthy as well. Geez, just look at this ad to get started:
Wow 15 pictures on a diks and ALicia Rose. She changes it in her other shots, but a few of them she did a capital L as well. I love the change in tense, changing use of Capitals For Every Word, but only on some lines. And please remember “Limited Spots Booked In Now” WTH?!? Oh yea and behind crime scene where the English language was murdered is an underexposed, dirty and thoroughly unintersting photograph that could have been taken with a cellphone and instagrammed.
I love that in her photos she touts all these horseshit props she’s getting and can’t wait to use, and then the picture that is posted with them is just awful. Blurry, underexposed shots of them just lying on your nasty carpet and often out of focus to boot, and that is before you put them on some poor child who is stuck in front of your camera. Lets see what she did with all these props:
Wow they look like they are about to cry. And don’t worry about the rule of thirds or anything, just stick their heads right in the middle and cut their legs off. Oh wait, she got it in the next shot:
A pink and blurry mess.
Awesome natural light shot. Love how the umbrella just merges right into the background. And the girl on the left is obviously thrilled to be in this photoshoot.
Speaking of looks happy in this shot. Of course its hard to tell because its focused on the bush behind him. Minor details.
WOW. I love this photo on so many levels. And I really wish she had kept the name Magical Photography instead.
WTH is this shot? Oh its a b&w, blown out, baby bump shot? I totally got that from this shot.
The models just LOVE getting in front of her lens.
I’m glad she spent the time to convert that shot to B&W, because that really save it.
Mother of God.
Wish those people would get out of the frame so she could get the fullness of that bush behind them.
Candid Camera, fauxtog style.
And she uses the name Heart & Soul Photography as well. So like 3 names inside of a year. That makes sense?
Pet fauxtography. I’ll throw your mutt in the pool and then lean over it and take a a photo and then smash their name into the shot somehow. Captivating.
I could go on but the only one really suffering would be my liver, as this endeavor only makes me want to drink that much more.
March 11, 2013 at 12:13 pm #7653ParticipantI also have to add this one from Photography by Cynthianna:
Love the obvious clone stamp all over that bench that is in the shot before. Guess it was too much work to just get the kid on the damn ground.
March 11, 2013 at 4:09 pm #7657fstopper89
ParticipantUgh, read the comment! She really asked that! i literally lol’ed!
March 11, 2013 at 4:54 pm #7658seth
ParticipantI don’t get it… I mean, looking at part of that it’s like she did fine with some cloning but the rest is that scale-looking stuff. Why, oh, why!?
March 11, 2013 at 5:55 pm #7659Drew
ParticipantShe apparently uses Corel Paintshop Pro…’she thinks’,….also, it seems sarcasm flies way over her head…
March 11, 2013 at 7:14 pm #7661poisonivy
ParticipantThe sad part is she really thinks she’s a pro. It’s terrible. And how much money she’s scammed out of people is ridiculous. And her pregnancy photos are just horrible.
March 11, 2013 at 9:36 pm #7664ParticipantYeah the sarcasm went completely over her head… and she doesn’t even know for sure what program she uses. Crazy.
March 11, 2013 at 9:46 pm #7665ParticipantLet’s put a baby in a flower planter, and let him chew on leaves. Then, spot-color the leaves. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=436685699687967&set=pb.436676929688844.-2207520000.1363052593&type=3&theater
March 11, 2013 at 10:15 pm #7669JanJan
ParticipantI don’t understand why she spot-colored the baby and left the grass colored
March 11, 2013 at 10:20 pm #7670ParticipantIt’s ‘artistic’. DUH!
The kid looks like it’s in pain. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=455673891122481&set=a.436677336355470.96205.436676929688844&type=3&theater
I love pregnancy photos. But they have to be done right. The one that takes the cake is this one. The stretched out belly rings are real classy. Matches the happy trail she’s got going on.

ParticipantBwahaha. I admit I don’t know a lot about editing, but I do know some editing software and the most prominant software used by pros is ADOBE Paintshop Pro and ADOBE Photoshop or ADOBE Lightroom. And I don’t even use any of those, and I am an amature hobbyist at best and I know the different editing software programs. I am sorry but how can you call yourself a pro and not know what programs you use. I even know that Flickr uses Aviary editing software. (which I admit I have been playing with for a few days just to expierment with.)
