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! 
Most of my pictures are of my children and grandchild.
Mostly, I take pics of the kidlets, but I do take more pictures of myself than any sane person.
I love to take pictures of the food I eat, along with hanging out with my friends and my boyfriend
I take pictures of the wildlife around our house, and of course my beautiful wife!
Animals and kiddies! Awesome giveaway
I take mostly pics of my 2 boys…. This would be neat to try!
I probably take the most pictures of my cousins. I have 5 cousins between 1 and 6 years old, which gives me different ages to photograph, but they are all equally cute and sooo fun to take pictures of! But since they are quite fast I don’t really have the time to check lightning, so Lightroom would be perfect to touch up the pictures! 🙂
I take random photos all the time…no rhyme or reason. But I also photograph my nail art as you can see from my icon. =)
Thanks for the opportunity. Best of luck all!!
Definitely my kids…but I’m sure that’ll change in 18 years. They’re just the cutest subjects I’ve got right now (and super cute, at that.).
I mostly take picture of my mother, because she is very special for me.
Your giveaway is really awesome
Definitely my daughter, I just love capturing all her expressions!
I take pictures mainly of my dog. She is white so this would be a good program to fix the washout.
My kids on the field and on the court – sports shots are my specialty 🙂
I take photos mostly of nature, my pets {dogs-a boxer and a cocker spaniel, a pygmy goat, 2 bantam chickens-hen and rooster, and my mini lop bunny! =) Can’t forget all my adorable nieces and nephews!! =)
My 5 kids!
I take pictures of the places that i visit most of the time. Because of being a captain, I travel a lot and World is a wonderfull place.
My nieces and racecars
We photograph our two boys more than anything for sure!
My boys are sports, sports and more sports. We are always taking pictures of our boys doing all their activities. Would love this software!!!
I take pictures of my kids and grandkids. Especially the grandkids!
I definitely take photos of my food all the time. Probably too much but I just love eating!
I mainly take pictures of my familia!
I take pictures of my cats, food, and flowers.
I LOVE taking pictures of my kids…. now if I can only figure out how to get them to all look at the camera and do a normal smile all at the same time!
Really only take photos of my children (ages 3, 2, 8 months) and the occasional bouquet of flowers that my hubby brings me – don’t have time for much more! Love to scrapbook & would love this software – thanks for the opportunity!
I definitely take most pictures of my kids and also my amazing extended family!!
I would love to use this to edit pictures I take of my family! There are SO many of us that it is hard for all of us to smile at the same time, look the same direction, not blink…so, this would be SOOOOO nice to have! Thank you for the giveaway!
I take mostly pictures of my family. Thanks for the giveaway.
My favorite subject is nature. I’m constantly amazed at the patterns I find everywhere in nature! Fingers crossed….
Hello! I photograph items for my online shop the majority of the time! I’d love to win this!
Lately, it’s been all about my niece. She is adorable.
I probably take pictures of food the most, lol. My boyfriend and I do go on vacation about once a year so I always have tons of pictures of those! My siblings are also very involved in sports so I take tons of pictures of them 🙂 I am 16 years older than my youngest brother and I g
sorry it cut off.. I get to enjoy their childhood! I love it!
Not going to lie, I take pictures of food the most.
Most days I can be found attempting to photograph my kids in their ‘natural’ environment with their eyes open and a smile on their faces. Possible? Not really, but it sure is fun trying!
Taking pictures of anything food, my friends, family and hubby 🙂 is one of my favorite things to do! What a great giveaway. Thank you!!
These days? Food, but now that it’s summer, the kids will take over easily! blog stuff, crafts, tutorials, parties, etc… after that.
