This image is also my kids entry this week for I Heart Faces - No Flash! There is probably no other single thing that I've done that has forced me to "see the light" (photographically speaking, of course) than turning OFF my flash. It's a course of action that I highly recommend for anyone wanting to take their photography experience to the next level.
As a contributing photographer at I Heart Faces, I'm not eligible to win the contests, but I surely enjoy playing along for the fun of it. Click the link below to go see other beautiful faces...

Susan, I popped onto your blog yesterday after we returned from our vacation and prowled about a bit, only to see you have fallen head over heels in love with TRA2 actions. :) And I love what you say about looking back on these images in several months and wondering about your processing, but seriously, I think they are wonderful! Not overdone, just subtly improved. Always a treat to see your work!
Is she not just the cutest thing! Love what you did with her picture!
I'm attempting to shoot more and more with no flash.
Sigh. How do you *do* that? I need you to come over and give me a personal TRA tutorial. :)
Oh my word - the before and after are like night and day! That is amazing...and now I am off to cry because I don't have photoshop : )
Pool Party is probably in my top 3 favorites out of the TRA set--great use of it here!
Super fun!
this is great! i love the edited version
Love this recipe.
Pool Party is one of my favorite TRAs. The other is Boutwell's Magic Glasses (which is from the original set of actions, but if you click on the Try Em link, that is one of the actions I got in the free download.)
Love Totally Rad. Your shot is great, and I love the photo editing you did! Great entry!
Susan,
Thank you for sharing your recipe! I never thought I would say that in conjunction with photography. lol
Hmmmm Me thinks I like the TRA 2 actions....
Great recipe! I just bought the second set of TRA last weekend - I'm loving it!
She's precious! LOVE the freckles!
Gorgeous! She is beautiful anyway--but I love the detail you picked up in her hair.
I just told a friend to try turning off her flash. She was amazed! And I was just thinking of the time last fall that I was grumbling about being forced back inside with my camera and you suggested setting my white balance to incandescent. That has made such a big difference! You're one of my heroes!
look at those cute freckles! great job :)
Oh I love what you did with this! Her eyes just sparkle and dance :)
The freckles are great and what a precious little girl. Nice job.

Everything you touch with a camera is golden, I swear! That photo is so precious, and the actions you processed with are fantastic. Just right for the photo. The eyes and the freckles are so sweet it hurts to look!
I LOVE this picture and what you did with it! FANTASTIC!
Thanks to a certain Susan Keller, I am now the proud owner of all of the TRA actions. {gulp!}
I am so in love with them too! Their B&W conversions are some of the best I've ever used.
I can't wait to try out your recipe on some of my photos ~ beautiful!

This is an incredible shot and the processing! WOW!
Did I mention I want to be Susan Keller when I become a grown up photographer? :) Seriously, I love your editing. The photo still looks like a photo, just a better version of itself. As always, great job. Can't wait to see your fix-it Friday. (yours is always my favorite!:)
I really like it, great job!!! I am still learning about actions and such! I am also learning still how to use my xsi...
This is so cool!!
Just used this recipe today, slightly altered, and I LOVE the results--thanks again for posting this!
Is it just me or is Clarify one of the best actions, i love it! Thanks for sharing your recipes.
