The Edit

Hey y’all!

I hope you’re having the best week ever so far! For my local friends, I wanted to take a minute to tell y’all about a fun opportunity I have to teach a class on photo editing next Thursday (April 26th) for a really cool event series that my friend Jill does! Jill has the gift of hospitality and entertaining, so she has somewhat recently started hosting GATHERINGS in her stunning home in Madison, each one different from any others she’s done! Gatherings have ranged in topic from floral arranging to painting to macaron making to wine tasting. They’re all super unique and just a really fun time. (There is always some fun food and drink involved, too, regardless of the class topic, which totally speaks to me personally! I love a quality refreshment if I’m being totally honest.)

Anyway, it was such an honor to have Jill ask me to teach a Gathering regarding photo editing! I LOVE editing photos– It’s one of my favorite parts about blogging and about my position at SummerHouse. I’ve learned some pretty cool tricks over the years that I can’t wait to share with you! And the best part about this Gathering is that everything I’ll be teaching y’all can be done within one of two apps on your phone. So no fancy equipment required!

Here are some fun examples of some mediocre photos (actually some of them started off pretty awful!) taken up a notch or two (or three or four.) Photo editing really is so much fun!

The “befores” are the smaller photos, and the “afters” are the larger ones 🙂

Isn’t it amazing what a little crops and adjustments can do?

I know there is a lot of controversy surrounding over-editing these days, so I definitely plan on sharing my thoughts on that in the class. And I’d love to hear your thoughts on that, as well!

Jill has a beautiful evening planned where there will be plenty of opportunities to take some pretty pictures and make them even prettier! If you’re looking to up your photo game even just a little (or if you’re like me and just want prettier photos of your babies!) then this class is perfect for you. There are just a few spots left so be sure to register here. I promise we will have lots of fun. I cannot wait to see you there!!

Again, REGISTER HERE! 🙂

Have a wonderful day, and thank you SO much for stopping by! XO!
