Before/After | Editing

Winter is a great time to reflect on our past year and dive in to learn new and try new things. Normally we use Lightroom for about 99% of our images but decided to dive a bit more into Photoshop tonight. Just a quick before and after edits of one of our gorgeous seniors from Des Moines this past fall.

What do you think?

Carroll Iowa Sunset | Iowa Wedding Photographers

Yesterday was the first day of 2011 here in Iowa with dazzling weather! It makes me think that summer is just around the corner. Well hopefully!

Driving home last night I ended up just north of Carroll, Iowa on highway 71 when the sun was setting. I’ll take 45 degrees and a gorgeous sunset any day here in February!

The [b] School! | Photo Friends with Benefits | Online Photographer Community

If your viewing this on Facebook head on over to our blog at https://www.ztsblog.com

We get Facebook messages and comments pretty regularly from other photographers from topics about: contracts, how to register for sales tax, what equipment to purchase next, insurance and the list goes on and on!

There are SO many things to consider when becoming a business and to learn it simply never stops! Photography itself is a hobby, running a photography business is just that, a business! Along with that comes the struggles of being a business and dealing with the day to day tasks of managing finances, figuring out work-flow, getting clients and learning about how to do what you love to do just a bit better and more efficiently.

Something that has helped us tremendously in our learning and growing as a business was joining The [b] School. It is an online community of professional photographers worldwide that is a resource for any question or situation photography related large or small.

If you truly want to grow your skills and learn from others in a positive environment for photographers please join. You won’t regret it!

Use the coupon code THEBSCHOOL222 to get into the new site that JUST launched this month for the old rates (only $10 per month!) until the end of February!

The new site is fabulous! It contains a forum for questions, user profiles much like Facebook, photo uploads for critiques, status updates, a classroom for tutorial videos and learning from wonderful photographers like The Becker, Jasmine Star, Jessica Claire, and Dane Sanders. They also have a chat-room and weekly live broadcasts with great people in the industry.

You can follow them on Facebook for free here too.

Join! Check it out! It is so great to be a member of a positive and open photography community. Learning and sharing ideas is so important in growing!
