The Joy Of Clips And Canva
I am completely amazed at the evolution of photo editing. How we alter photos have gotten easier and easier and easier. Now, it has gotten so easy that my 9 (almost 10) year old son can do it. The technology we have to edit almost everything under the sun is absolutely mind-blowing. Back in the 1980’s, I had no clue what photo editing was. In the 1990’s, I knew about photo editing, but I thought it was one of the most complicated projects to complete. At the time, I assumed that only professionals as smart as Albert Einstein can only perform this task. By the time we entered the 21st Century, I became very aware that anyone can edit photos or photoshop. However, the tools I had made the process very time consuming for me. Now that smartphones are extremely popular, and there are many apps to choose from, I can now edit photos in as little as five minutes – depending on how I want my photos to look at the end.

Edit Your Photos to Sell Your Product and Brand
Ask any entrepreneur and he or she will say that this profession is not for the faint of heart. A majority of entrepreneurs begin by funding their own business. And this means we are a one person show. For me, this includes everything from making my products by hand and from scratch to taking and posting the product pictures and listings. Branding is important. But you can’t really brand unless you actually know what your mission is and what you and your product stand for. For crafting entrepreneurs like myself, this often is directly or closely tied to our personal lives, journey and history.

For the Grid
Find yourself a mini photog. First off, can we take a minute to appreciate my daughter Isla's gift to capture the most ridiculous photo's of me? "hey mom, I took pictures the whole time", so many outtakes, haha! These usually end up in the never-to-be-seen-by-the-light-of-day album, but once in a while a hilarious winner such as this one emerges.

Have you ever taken the perfect picture, sat back, and just thought, “This is it. This is the picture,” before you ever put it through any editing applications? Before you’ve even touched the white balances, the contrast, the sharpness, it’s just beautiful? Yeah, me neither.

Behind The Shot: Endless Horizons
Post-production is one of the best ways to create a unique look to your imagery and stand out in a world filled with photographers. While the idea of editing and photo manipulation is still not widely 'accepted' by many in the world, I honestly believe that post-production is the future of photography. Every single photographer edits their images to at least some degree. In fact, Peter Lik, one of the world's most famous landscape photographers who has sold over $500 million worth of prints, heavily relies on post-production in order to make his images stand out and attract buyers.

Where in the World am I?
Ever since Nicéphore Niépce found a way to photograph what he saw, people have used the medium to express art. Professional photographers use the camera to entice people to travel to new places, and have new experiences, and to record important events. No one could sell anything without a great photographer to show their product to its best advantage.

How to create your Instagram aesthetic! . Top Story - March 2021.
My Instagram feed is an expression of who I am. As a creative, it's my brand. I am in no way any form of influencer, but yet I've had work from my Instagram, made connections, and I enjoy playing with my own aesthetic. When I look back on memories, or trips I've taken, I like my feed to represent that moment in time. Like a public scrapbook of images.

A Sea of Dreams: Before & After. Top Story - March 2021.
You want to see the before photo? *GASP* That's like asking to see me in the morning without my mascara & eyeliner! BUT WHYYYYY?! I used to wonder this... why would anyone want to see the before photo? If you're a client, maybe you want to double check you "look ok?" or you aren't making a "weird face"? As a photographer...perhaps you think all photo's come out of camera perfect and ready to go? (Not to say that some styles lean this way...mine does not) Maybe you need more insight into what the possibilities lie ahead?

Simplified Photography Editing
Although I have did digital imagery and digital art creation for previous companies when working for them. When it comes to my own photography, I find that I’m often the exception to the digital world. I like my images to reflect the natural state in which I took them. Perhaps this lends itself to honesty or creativity, I’m not sure, but I don’t like to do massive photo edits.
