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 dog the most. Unless I’m on vacation- I’ve been known to take thousands of pictures, and multiples of the same thing. Whoops.
my pets and my currently green field and flowers 🙂
my photos are pretty split between scenery and myself. 🙂 I tend to prefer photographing inanimate things – landscapes, flowers, metalwork, etc., but I also take a lot of outfit photos for my blog!
Most of my pics are of my kiddos! (4 bio and 2 bonus(foster))
I enjoy taking pictures of the daily activities of our family! Thanks for offering the contest!
My kids, they’re the best!
My 3 grandkids!!!! Plus another one will be here within a month.
I take pictures of the kids, flowers and weather clouds, I would love to have a good editing program, there is always a really good picture if you could just get it the right light
I take pictures of my boys, nature and food. You name it, I snap it. Just upgraded to a DSLR camera and Lightroom is on my wishlist. I also have a small side business (in addition to my full time job) creating custom invites, announcements, favors, etc. I enjoy photographing those items for my website as well. Thanks for the giveaway!
I mostly take pictures of my 6 year old daughter.
I love to take pics of my dogs. They’re always doing the silliest things!
Most of my pictures are of my kids.
I take pictures of my Figure Skating, Rodeo Queening, Country Singer Future Star who one day would also like to be a photograher. 🙂 Love this girl!
I take tons of pics of my 3 children (8,5 & 3) thanks!!
Our two dachshunds… and our grown kids when they are home! Thanks!!
I take pictures of food and family!
I by far take more pictures of food than anything else!
I love taking pictures of people!
I take pictures of my kids and family members. Gotta save those memories!
I mostly take pictures of our pets.
Kids!
I just had a baby so I take lots of photos
I definitely take pictures of my kids the most! I’m thinking 99.3%! 🙂
I take mostly pictures of my three sons and our adventures together as a family…boating, fishing, hiking, traveling…it’s all about the kids!!!
Great contest…thank you!
I take pictures of my family, pets and surroundings. I love to capture candid expressions on my parents faces. They are in their 60’s now and have been married for 45 years! I cherish these moments with family and our funny pets. We love to watch the dogs play together, go fishing and eat large Italian Meals!!!
I hope I win! I will be happy to give this to my daughter who earned straight A’s her entire first year of college at Old Dominion University!!!
Thank you!

By far my children…can’t get enough of them!
I take lots of pictures of my four year boy. 🙂
I take photos of my food, tablescapes and my granddaughter. She’s probably think she should have been listed first!
I love to photograph my three children. Brogan (6) Braxon (3), and Brewer (newborn). Having three boys and having everything perfect does not go hand in hand, but Lightroom would at least make the photos we take look picture perfect 🙂
I wish I could say I photographed my son the most. If he were little now, that would be true. Alas, he’s in college. Now I photograph flowers and trees and such. My favorite spot is at an arboretum that has lovely gardens. And my photos could do with some heavy editing.
I mostly take pictures of my sweet dog Ginger and then cool design ideas for my work!
Without question, I take the most photos of my family.
I love to chase my kids around and take pictures of them, my favorite subjects!
my kids!!!!
I take pictures of food for my blog. I would LOVE to upgrade my photos with this software! Thanks for hosting this amazing giveaway!
Hi! I take pictures most of the kids – mine and the ones I take care of.
