If anyone asks me my favorite editing software for all of my photos, without hesitation I say Lightroom. No question. I’ve never been a photoshop gal because of the learning curve. Lightroom is so easy to use, I was so excited to learn that I figured it out in just minutes. (I am not tech savvy at all)
It sure makes my job easy as a food blogger being able to touch up my photos ever so slightly to get just what I am looking for.

There are so many before and after pictures I can show you, but this is one I did just last week when I was photographing my Double Chocolate Butterfinger Cake. We had some friends over and their dog was outside my window watching my cake, lol! I snapped a photo and as you can see on the left, it was dark and gray. With just a few touch ups from Lightroom you get the picture on the right. Love!!

Definitely my kids. Oh, I’ve been wanting to replace my photoshop with lightroom. Pick me PLEASE! 🙂
What an amazing Giveaway! Personally, I take pictures of my kiddos. Cameras and storing technology is so amazing now and it’s such a treat to capture and keep all these wonderful memories.
It’s a toss between the kids and dogs because they are mostly in the photos together.
Definitely my animals! I am constantly snapping pictures of my 4 cats and 3 dogs.
I take pictures of everything all the time. My baby girl, the dogs, food, the beach, the backyard, outings, sitting at home, etc. I’m glued to my camera.

Hmmm, pictures. I usually take pictures of food if I’m inside, flowers or scenery if I am outside.

pretty crazy how many pictures I have of other people’s kids, literally thousands! I also take my own family as much as they allow now that they’re teens. Looking forward to taking my son’s senior pics this fall. I warned him we’ll be doing at least 10 different sessions- ha ha! Would really be blessed by a free Lightroom!
It’s usually food. I’m trying to be better about using my camera to take kid pictures because they all seem to be on my phone!
Landscape…I live in Montana, so that’s an easy one! 🙂
I take the most photos of my new puppy, Lucy Lou. 🙂

My favorite things to take pictures of are nature, my kids, and my pets. However, I’m the yearbook sponsor, so I take more pictures of school events and sports than anything, it seems like.
my family
I have a beautiful, photogenic little ‘pack’ of Weimaraners….they are my fur-kid (and my perpetual photo subjects)! However, I am also an avid traveler and love to document my memories and experiences.
I am just getting involved in the art of photography and recently invested in my first ‘real’ Canon. Thanks for the testimony about Lightroom. I’d love to win the raffle but am glad to know it is a preferred software.
Most definitely take the most pictures of my kids! LOVE them! I would love to have this!!
I love taking pictures of landscapes, dogs and kids.
My little one and a half year old is the reason my camera is even used. I love to photograph him doing anything and everything.
