Editing Photos

    With so much happening lately I don't have many spare minutes to play on the computer! I stayed up late one night and got my Jennelise Rose facebook page up and running (there is a badge on my sidebar now). The response has been exciting! I love to hear from everyone.
    My sisters's bridal shower is this week - and for those who asked I did find a present (or several actually, I got a little carried away) - hopefully there will be pretty pictures from the party to share with you! In the meantime I made a discovery called Picmonkey, which is an online photo editing site. I didn't even know such things existed - haha!! Well, in my few spare moments I have played with a few of my old photos on picmonkey and I am so pleased with the results! It is so much fun and I just keep getting new ideas! I have a few samples here to show you. I had already been toying with the idea of selling some photographs on my etsy store at some point and my little foray into the world of editing has clinched it for me. Very soon I will be adding glossy prints of my photographs. I hope you like them! Please, please let me know what you think and which ones appeal to you the most. I love to know what everyone thinks and I am very often surprised!

I also wanted to share this new music video that is wonderful. I love Taylor Swift and The Civil Wars and when I heard they were singing together for the new movie The Hunger Games I was so excited! This is a beautiful song called 'Safe and Sound'.






















I am linking up with these parties today:

  3. All of these are just gorgeous! I 've been playing with PicMonkey for about a week now and have been having too much fun with it! I recently went to a bridal shower and took a ton of photos. Then the other night in my photography class someone told me about a book making site called Blurb. Yes Blurb and I decided to make a book of the bride's shower to give to her as part of her wedding gift. I did all my editing in PicMonkey and then uploaded them to Blurb to make the book! I really hope she likes it...I think it is a lovely gift and Jennelis your photos would be stunning in a book!

  5. I liked the magenta roses in the cut-glass/crystal pitcher with the "lacy" backdrop. I also like the images you capture "through the looking glass" no matter if the foreground is dimmed or not. Your close-up is certainly ethereal. Sounds like Picmonkey is another fun art tool!

  10. Beautiful photos!

    I've used PicMonkey for a while now but haven't decided if I really like it or not. They seem to have some site issues now and then.

  12. STUNNING!!! I am so excited and happy for you that you're expanding your creative "wares"...I would just say your genres of art! Magnificent....
    I like Picmonkey, they are actually the product of the guys of Picnik, which closed down. Isn't the editing addicting??? I love it!
    Bravo, Jennelise...
