A super big thank you to Christy from Wired Whimsy for providing some gorgeous giveaway bling for last week’s Sweet Shot Tuesday. Our winner is #12, Mormishmom from Awesome Family Fun who shared this cute little scrunchy-nose smile photo:
Shoot me an email, Mormishmom, so we can get your jewelry.
This week’s featured shop is something I think the boys will like just as much as the girls! Do you use Lightroom? For me, Lightroom is a vital part of my workflow. I import, categorize, label and correct exposure or color (if needed!) in Lightroom. Lr is a major work-horse in my job as a photographer. Buuuuuttt… Lr can be so much more than just a work-horse. It can be really fun for one-click edits. Lightroom has presets, much like Photoshop has actions. This week’s featured shop is Brenda from Berry Sweet Designs who is a talented amateur photographer, digital crafter and maker-of-very-cool-Lightroom-presets. (She also has the cutest little baby bump right now… which you can find if you click over to her Flickr page!)
For those of you who are new to photo editing, SOOC = straight out of camera. Here are some before and after shots:
Brenda says, “I am a SAHM with 2 1/2 kiddos (due with the third in September). I found Lightroom in 2008 and started to create presets for myself. I save ALL of my presets and found myself making whole sets of them. I thought, “why keep them to myself, though?” So I opened a store to offer them to all the other photographers out there. Professional or those who are just camera crazy momtographers like me.
“You can find me at Polkadot Plum, Flickr, tumblr, Facebook, and of course twitter.”
Brenda is also a digital crafter. She makes paper and digital products photographers can use to frame or mount their images.
One particpant will win the ENTIRE contents of Brenda’s store. Wowzers. You get the Lightroom presets and the digital kits, perfect for framing photos, digital scrapbooking or making background for session albums. AWESOME. Thanks, Brenda.
If you don’t want to wait to see if you win, you can buy Brenda’s stuff at her shop.
Wow… those presets are fantastic! Very, very neat!
This is a nice giveaway !
I love Lightroom too and will have to go check out her presets!
What awesome pics! I have heard of Lightroom but haven’t really looked into it. I love taking pics and am just learning.
Thank you for hosting this fun meme and giveaway!
