Frequency separation is a way to edit skin and still keep the texture and some of the finer details. There are lots of different ways it can be done, but in this version I will show how it can be done in Photoshop Elements. For those that know me, you know I'm an Elements purist. I can't justify spending the extra money on PS CC when Elements does what I need it to. Plus, I like the challenge of finding work arounds for Elements. If you are just starting out, or are fruga

Newborn Baby Pictures in Frisco, TX I know many of you already know this, but in case you don't, let me just say, "I LOVE NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY!" I love the tiny details, posing them, all the sweet snuggles, baby coos, the fresh baby scent, and watching them grow over their first year. Most of all, I love that those newborn baby pictures are something you will treasure forever. These tiny humans grow more in their first year than in any other time in their life. In under thr

It is getting close to that time of year, SUMMER! Every kid longs for it, and moms (let’s be honest) dread it. Sure, for the first few weeks it’s glorious. Sleeping in, spending time together, the plans for vacations. Then reality hits. And the phrase that has potential to send mom over the edge; “I’M BORED.” Finger nails on a chalkboard, y’all. For whatever reason my kids don’t like my answer of, “Then go clean your room,” so I decided to come up with a list of thing

We are so proud and excited to announce our newest arrival to our Morgan Clan. Ella Rey - goes by Rey, (of Star Wars fame) was my Mother's Day gift this year. She joins her furry siblings Lucy (black Lab) and Chewy (Terrier mix-also named after a Star Wars character) in keeping us on our toes. My husband and I have always loved Labs. Lucy and Rey are our third and fourth Labs we have welcomed into our family over the past 17 years. The [human] kids have barely put her do

Six month photographs are probably my favorite... right after newborn photography that is. I love being able to watch babies grow over their first year through these milestone sessions. This little cutie is on my baby's first year plan, so I am lucky enough to get to see her a few more times. If you need a Frisco child photographer, or a Denton child photographer, or any surrounding areas, I would love to help you capture your child's first year and beyond. #babyphotos #Fr

Little Rowan was one of the first studio newborn sessions I was able to do after opening Studio 380. I did big brother's newborn session a little over 2 years ago, and it was great to see how much he has grown. In all honesty, that's my favorite part of my work; getting to watch these babies grow over the years. I get to be that crazy "Aunt" they see once or twice a year and just be silly and have fun with them. Along the way we always capture some great memories. Pure,

I've recently had several people contact me asking how I edit my photos. Tutorial Tuesdays was born in an effort to provide beginner photographers and those new to Photoshop a starting point for their editing. I do offer more detailed video tutorials as well as 1-on-1 mentoring. You can contact me for more information about mentoring.

I've know Imogen's Mommy & Daddy for a long time; a lifetime ago before all the kids. I am always so thankful that they trust me with the special moments in their lives.

Well, we started a new year! And while 2016 was an amazing year for Courtney Morgan Photography, 2017 promises even more new and exciting things. In 2009, by husband bought me my first DLSR. I have always loved photography, but never dreamed that the gift he gave me would plant the seed that has grown into owning my own photography business. And now.... AND NOW!!!! Here I am on the verge of opening my dream studio. (You may have seen the video I posted on Instagram a co
