Aren't these the cutest pictures?? Emilie is the owner and photographer behind Photos by Emilie. She is not only an amazing photographer but she also teaches classes in Salt Lake City and also ONLINE. I took an online class with Emilie and she explained the basics of photography to me and went into detail on the how and why to get your pictures to look great. She will teach you how to set your camera setting in manual - the difference between "point and hope" and "point & create". I wish I had taken a class years ago - it was fun to learn with an expert. Look at some examples...

Emilie can start at the very basics or go into more advanced photography subjects. I learned all about aperture, shutter speed and ISO and how to take a good picture without a flash...amazing!! If you would rather have a lesson in Photoshop, you can choose that instead! Check out her blog for the next Salt Lake Workshop scheduled for Saturday, Sept 24th.

After you take your pictures - how about using Photoshop Actions to make your photos say WOW! Paint The Moon offers Photoshop and Elements actions to help bring new life to your images and take hours off of your editing time.

They also offer video tutorials to help guide you through the editing process (new ones are being added weekly) and beautiful free actions and textures to try before you buy.
Adding texture to your images is such a cool technique! Paint the Moon fine art and vintage textures add a unique and high end look to your images. Choose one of their actions or textures set with the $50 gift certificate for the winner!
