How to rock split toning like an editing ninja
You know that little "Split Toning" section in Lightroom?
Maybe it gets overlooked or maybe it just feels too intimidating. Maybe you wonder how to use it to claim your photographic voice in the industry.
Whatever the case, let's dig into this feature. Here's what you need to know...
Introduction to Lightroom
Lightroom is the easiest and most efficient way to edit your images.
We're talking ultra-fast. You can edit one image and then paste those settings to the other images that were taken in the same setting!
KC Grand Hall Wedding Inspiration
I walked through the ballroom and upstairs, chatting away with Madi. I think I hugged Madi and Amy a good 3-5 times before I let them get back to work! I had never met them before, but we already felt like good friends. That's what Instagram is for, right? Riiiight?

Her sisters, momma, and best friends sat around her while she put the finishing touches on her makeup. They told bits and pieces of Ruthie's story - her adoption and the restored relationships that felt untouched by time, her sweet momma who...
How to use the free preset
Confession: I love getting emails about the Light & Airy preset because you all love it just as much as I do. I really needed to keep our editing consistent and also be able to hand my presets over to our team editor and get the same results. I created a whole suite and then I started wondering. What if I shared this preset, which is changing my whole business, with the whole world?
I knew this preset would change businesses, but I had no idea how far it would...

The Haseltine Estate, in Springfield Missouri
Have you been dreaming of stone estates tucked away in southern Missouri or am I the only one? As we drove down the highway, we found ivy cascading over a stone wall. And then, as if on que, a hill let us peek over the wall to see the a glimpse. Everything about this venue makes me feel like I have...
