Photoshop Elements 9 has been awesome for photo editing.  But I’ve been wanting to step up my game.

So, I’ve been experimenting with templates since I purchased Lightroom.  I’m looking forward to moving more toward using Lightroom for more editing.  I really like how my images look with LR3.

Both have templates.  And I’ve been experimenting with them.  Check out some of my attempts:

A sort of thematic template.

I made this black and white. I don't like how dark the pic is at the top right.

I like this one. Simple and happy.

 

This one came out a little off-centered. I don't know why, but I like the three less detailed images at the bottom.

I’m so pumped about a couple sessions I have coming up over the next few months.  I have a senior picture session and the Jon + Jess wedding.  These sessions should be awesome changes to improve my craft.

The ever-so-hopeful,
