If you do a quick Google search, you might see a tutorial that involves just opening the Develop module (located in the top right menu in Lightroom), locating the presets section and right clicking on User Presets —> Import...

Never do this when importing presets into Lightroom. We've gotta keep Lightroom easy for you to use…

Next time you’re working with a tricky image, try using the Lightroom radial filter to brighten (or darken) parts of the image.

Maternity leave, maternity leave. I can’t believe I waited so long to take one with Daniel! Okay, well I actually can believe that because I was 100% convinced that I couldn’t take time off work.

When I was just a few weeks from maternity leave this time around, I was starting to wonder if it was worth it.

I still can’t believe that maternity leave happened. When I was first praying through maternity leave dates, I really felt like my first day of maternity leave was supposed to be December 15th (a Saturday) and I was supposed to go back to work in mid April sometime. I shrugged off the December 15th date because (1) I didn’t think it was possible with the amount of work I had to do to actually get to maternity leave and (2) I felt like that was too much time off.

Sitting there jotting down a thousand questions I’d have for the girl who’d be watching our little ones for 16 hours each week. I wanted to do my mompreneur work from home — or at least have that option — and having a nanny was starting to look more and more like the next right step. I had tossed around preschool for Daniel and letting the same school watch Hannah during that time, but I needed to lay down a work schedule that I could tweak if needed. 

Hey, hey! Curious about the Fuji Modern preset tucked away inside the Light & Airy Preset Suite? Got you covered, friend.

And psssst - can I put a bug in your ear? This Friday is my first day back to work! Maternity leave is wrapping up and I have never felt more excited or focused or inspired in this creative biz. Cannot say enough things about taking maternity leave and just carving out time to go "offline" in your creative business each year.

Light and airy photography is simple once you have the swing of things. Today we’re talking about reflectors, working with shadows and creamy skin tones!

We are hiring a part time nanny!
