Adore the Pioneer Woman's Actions

So, I love to take pictures of my kids. That is kind of obvious, I suppose. I am not very good at this picture taking, and even worse at knowing how to edit my pictures. My taste leans toward bright colors, lots of light, and pretty eyes. I only know a couple of tricks to help me out with that, but I plan on learning more. (I ordered a book to teach me more.) :) I got a brand new 35mm lens for Christmas, so I also plan on reading more about how to take better photos. I'd hate to have all of this nice equipment that my husband bought for me, and not know how to use it. Anyhow, in an attempt to dive a little deeper, I have downloaded some stinkin awesome "actions" from the Pioneer Woman. Can I just say how cool it is to have someone else do all the hard work for you in the editing? Very cool. So, I have been playing with a few of my favorite pics with these "actions" and came up with these results. I really enjoy having pictures all over the house, and I like to keep them fresh. Since I actually print my pics, I am happy that I will be learning more about how to make them better! Enjoy these photos from my first day of learning to use "actions!"Confession: Alan took this one of Payton while I was shopping.
