If you have not used Snapseed on your iPhone or iPad, you are missing out on the best mobile device photography application on the planet. The program is made by NIK Software. The biggest problem with the app was that I could only use it on my mobile device. Well, all of that has changed. Now it is available on the desktop computer on the Mac AppStore. Don’t worry, those of you who are still using the abacus-I mean a PC, it will be coming soon.
This is my second photo made with the desktop application. I love it. It feels just like the mobile app, and it also handles RAW photos.
About the photo: We went out into the pecan groves in Gilbert, Arizona with our good friend Brandt, Brandt Photography to take a family portrait. While we were there, I got this shot of the kids waiting to have their portrait taken in their winter animal hats.
Way to go NIK Software! You make great stuff.

Remember these photos from 2011? Heather and Jeremy were married at Noah’s in Chandler, Arizona, but their wedding photos were just published on The Offbeat Bride Wedding Blog. Congratulations again, Heather and Jeremy. It was a pleasure photographing your wedding.

Yes sir, the Nelson twin boys look handsome in their brand new suites! These are a few of my favorites from a quick portrait session here in Chandler, Arizona. I love the black and white on these images and I added a little grain to give them that film look. I didn’t go into Silver Effects Pro 2 though, this is straight out of Lightroom 3, the grain in LR 3 is very respectable.

If you have been thinking about taking a Lightroom workshop, this is the time to do it! The price is right and so is the location. We are holding three Lightroom Workshops in Phoenix, Arizona on January 26, 27 and 28. The weather is absolutely perfect here, so if you are from the frozen north, this is the perfect time to get away, thaw out and improve your Lightroom and Workflow skills.
The Workshop Schedule:
BOOK YOUR SEAT NOW!
The Lightroom Workflow Workshop is being held on Friday the 27th and a second session on Saturday the 28th for your convenience. Choose the one that fits your schedule. If you are new to Lightroom, take the into course on the 26th and add the Lightroom Workflow Workshop to learn even more about Lightroom and how to fit it into your studio or person workflow.
Are you new to digital photography or Lightroom and photo editing?
The January 26th Intro to Lightroom and Photo Editing is a great place to start.

In my last post, I introduced you to my good friend, Paul Scott, who was acting as my stand in as I was setting lights for his grand-daughter’s portraits. Here are a few of my favorite images from the shoot.
She looks so snuggly and happy. I love it when little babies barely open one eye.
This is one of my favorites. I love all the hands holding her up.
I labored over which foot shot to put in the blog post, I liked a number of them quite a lot, but I elected for this one in particular because the toes break the horizon line of her father’s hand. It is often simple things like that which make the difference between a select and a reject.
This one was pretty cute too.
This was my absolute favorite. I love the composition and I think Kelly (mom) looks like a million bucks. Great shot.
