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!!

Welcome to my online kitchen! Picky Palate is where you’ll find family friendly recipes along with the best Disney eats, tips and copycat recipes! 
I take pictures of my kiddos, and sometimes food too. I just don’t take really nice ones like you do!
Seniors and my son, I haven’t started a business in photography just yet but I do get to tag along my two friends on their shoots and learn and build a portfolio.
It used to be food and/or my house, but I have a 1 month old who now is my subject of choice.
Usually I take pictures of the kids, but I also have a cat.
I take pictures of the people and places we encounter when traveling. I’ve caught many amazing moments and would like to clean them up with a better editing software!
Family is usually all I use my camera for, but my husband likes to take pictures of “things” when we are out.
My pictures consist of my babies, mainly. Can’t get enough of them! 😉
I would use this for taking pictures of my children “Allie & Kyle”, my new puppy “Ruby” and any delish meals I make. I also did a new makeover on my kitchen I need to take some new pictures of that too. ~Stacey

I without a doubt take pictures of the activities I do around NYC the most…and recently of my outfits for my blog so this software would be a huge help!
