I'm Alice and live in Union. I've been a photographer for over 20 years and love it. I just wish it was more lucrative. I shoot about anything..from pet portraits to weddings.
I'll post more info later. I look forward to getting to know everyone here.

Hi Alice. If that's Union NV. I love your town as much as your work. I'm a newbee too. Been on this UHH for about 5 days now, and am doing my best to not spend 12hrs a day on it. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Ridesthewind currently out of Reno.

Welcome aboard, Alice. I split most of my time between St. Louis and Osage Beach. Kind of makes us Ozark neighbors.

Hey Alice; Great pics; like no. 2 a lot. I've been on here for a while, just not participating much yet; learning from the experts. I'm right up the highway in Fenton.

Oh, this is so cool. I love having people this close. I was living for a while in California with a cousin that is a pro photographer. He was in a group called "Meet-Up" A group of pro/am photographers and they would do model shoots(that's where the second image is from...it was a vampire shoot) and once in a while they would pick a place and do "photo walks" It was a great group and the amateurs learned from the pros and the pros learned from the amateurs. I would love to see something like that in this area. Anyone else interested?

Hi Alice, I live south of St. Louis, nice to have you on board. Please tell me how you made your second picture, totally cool. I love using Photoshop and you mastered that in your picture.

Alice, I'm very interested. Here is my email jacquie1952@live.com. It only takes me about an hour to come your way. I'm not available the month of November, but other than that, I can meet with you all.

Hi, Jacquie...
Thanks for the compliment on my picture. It was actually pretty easy..it has to be for me cause I don't know a lot on Photoshop. I can't remember where I found the background..it was on a tutorial for something where you download the images and follow along. The couple was at the Vampire Wedding shoot we did. I think I've got more photos from it that I'll post later. Anyway...All I did was pull up both images and then with the "move" tool, I slid the couple over onto the background. That puts it on a separate layer...I then just lowered the opacity way down till I could see thru them. I now have that as a 16x20 canvas hanging in my hallway.
I'll do some research on the MeetUp Group and see if we can get something going around St.Louis.

Those living near St. Louis, I found this...I've already signed up for it, but it doesn't look as thought they're very active. Hopefully, we can change that.
