Free Download & Tutorial (August) - Carrie Watson Collective

Some call me a photo editing wizard, some call me an expert but I just leave it to experience. I've worked as a professional portrait photographer for over a decade and as you probably know, most of that work is editing photos after the shoot.

I've learned lots of tips and tricks along the way that I want to share with you! Tips that take your snapshots to a next level and tricks that make you sigh with relief at the time you just saved. Scroll down and take it all in:

• One Free Editing Tutorial

• One Free Adobe Lightroom Preset

• Easy Download and Use Instructions

*** Don't know what a "preset" is? In simple terms, it's settings that have been saved for a specific photo edit that you can download to your phone and apply to your photo in one easy step. No actual editing required! You just save the preset within your own Adobe Lightroom App and it's yours to use anytime you need to amp up a natural light selfie.

This FREE DOWNLOAD is a preset for a brighter, more contrasting edit that doesn't change your skin tone or over edit your photo.

SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM for instructions on how to download and use your new preset!

Big Changes With My Photography

My photography business has made some major changes over the last year, but all for the best! With a retirement from the wedding industry, I am now focusing solely on my recently added Farm Heritage Sessions. My heart and soul lies in telling the stories of families that see our world from behind tractor steering wheels and cattle chutes!
