Arden Prucha Photography bio picture
  • HI! I am Arden Prucha Jenkins - a photographer located in Fort Worth, Texas! I specialize in portraiture and more recently weddings! Please take a look around and get to know my work, my style, my life, and me.

    How did I get into photography? Well, everyone has their story right? Looking back I realize that the little photog was in me all along, without even knowing it! I picked up a camera when I was around 8 and started snapping photos - I even posed my neighbors, animals, and Barbies for photos (seriously I made a Barbie wedding and photographed the entire thing). 

    Who am I? Well, I was a teacher for three years, but was able to leave that job to focus on photography and my two beautiful children!  I married a man who I am totally smitten over and he is crazy supportive of me.  I am a bargain shopper with expensive taste.  God allows me to trust this world with less fear and more hope and trust.  Music makes my heart flutter - so thankfully I married a very talented musician. I wish I could carry a tune, but unfortunately I cannot. My favorite month is October (dreamy light) and I miss my convertible - oh the beautiful wind .  When I was little I was amazingly or perhaps annoyingly hyper - and ate more food than all of the boys and was faster than most of them too.  I was a dancer and I love to write and converse.  When I am around people I get more energy and become alive. The differences between women and men intrigue me and kiddos make my heart melt. Photos... well, they fill my heart.


    Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you enjoy what you see.

From ‘Ehhh’ to ‘Awh’

Took some photos of Parx out in our beautiful fall leaf covered grass; that is now non existent after the lawn man made a visit.

I couldn’t resist these beautiful colors, but the original image really didn’t pull out the intesnity of the fall yumminess.

So, here I am with another ‘how to’ using Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Photoshop (I have CS4 Extended).

I realized I edit most of these HOW TOs the same way, so the next ‘how to edit’ will be quite different.

Here is the SOOC (straight out of the camera):

and then…. with some easy ACR+PS tweaks:

Steps… explained and……..

BADA BING BADA BOOM!

Jenn Sawtelle Great post! Quick question: do you ever mask the color fill layers off of the subject? I played around with this today and I think I love what it does to the background but I am concerned that my subjects look a tad muddy?November 15, 2011 – 9:52 pm

Thanks.Giving.

Well well, I seem to do these posts on any day of the week.

Today, of course, is Thanksgiving.

A day, in every year, where we Americans eat a lot, drink a lot, laugh a lot, and give THANKS via – most social networking sites, blogs, texts, and verbal love to their friends, family, and God.

So I am hopping on this cyber bandwagon!


Thanks?  Thanks!

Thank YOU. Thank them.  Thank HIM.


These last few weeks I have been swamped with work.

and I am super thankful and shocked.

BUT I am detached a bit from my reality:  My family.  My husband. My friend.  My kids.  My dogs. My God.  Life.

I owe so much to them (above) for assisting the craziness that I AM – my work – my business – my clients.

For this career would NOT be possible without you all.

Thanks to those who believe in my work, follow me, praise me, push me, look up to me, guide me, assist me, and set examples as business owners and artists.

YOU mean so much to my heart and soul!

Truly.


My life seems somewhat complete, yet there is more to come;

but I have such a great foundation for my life.

Based on passion, absolute LOVE, relationships, desire, dreams, fun and comfort.

God has given me a plethora of blessings, that I never knew I wanted – or how I wanted them – HE has unfolded this amazing story – in my book of life.

I am ecstatic as I envision what my future holds and where this journey takes us.

Thanks be to Him, to YOU, to my lovely family, to my wonderful (and handsome) husband, to my beautiful children, and my sweet friends.

I love you all, dearly, unconditionally, and eternally.

.love.

Happy Thanksgiving Friends.
