As the holidays approach it becomes more apparent how precious family is, and how much time can change a family. I sit at a family dinner looking at my grandparents missing the years I had as a child with them. Hanging out at grandma’s house was one of my favorite activities as a child. I couldn’t wait to see her after school and hang out together eating cookies and milk while watching our favorite shows. She made me feel special and I am so grateful for those years we spent together. Now that I am an adult with my own children, life gets away from me and I don’t spend as much time as I would like at “grandma’s house” anymore.

 As a blogger I am constantly taking photos, but I also take a lot of family photos. There is one commonality between the two though; I want all my photos to be beautiful and professional looking. This doesn’t always happen with just a click, even when I am trying my best photos can come out too dark or have little mistakes. That’s when I turn to Lightroom and Photoshop. I currently have the Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan and love it. It’s such a great plan because you can use Photoshop and Lightroom on all your photos. Since it’s a cloud you can use it on any device! This comes in handy when I’m traveling and don’t have access to a computer.
