Some photographers will pre-order a ton of blank thumbdrives that they customize with their logo/name on it, so when they deliver the photos to their clients, their clients know where that thumbdrive came from. 🙂

Yes! I was…Read more

I currently use Pixieset as well, and was just realizing the other day I need to look into this myself! I’m close to running out of space on the free account, and I need to figure out my options going forward! 🙂

I definitely like the look of the website you can create on there – it looks great! I hadn’t put mine together yet (I do…Read more

The one photo of the pine tree is most likely what they’ll use for the month of December in their 2022 calendar. Your payment, @frazer-family, will be sent to you after they have finished designing the calendar.

The runner up may be used as a…Read more

In a nutshell, the Ziesemers loved the bright and clean look of @momparfitt‘s photos. They hesitate to use them due to elements in the photos that would potentially make the…Read more

When it comes to size, the best quality for printing will be if the photos are at least 3600px wide.

Unless you want the watermark printed in the calendar, I would not submit photos with a watermark. For the winner of the assignment, I can add text to give credit in a way…Read more

I actually don’t understand why it is called flat if it is supposed to have different heights.

Hmm.. good point. Hadn’t thought of that! Well, according to Google it’s called flat lay because you lay everything on a flat surface. So, I thought that makes sense! 🙂

I absolutely love the combo of brightness, soft lighting (was the sun peeking out?), and the soothing colors of the outfits. And it’s actually snowing? How cool is that?! Also no one looks frozen – which can be hard to do when it’s cold outside! 😀

It looks like the line between snow and trees in the background is a slight hill,…Read more

Great question! I have a backdrop that got given to me as a gift from a place called dropz. They do ship to the USA, but I imagine the shipping would be fairly pricey. My backdrop is made from vinyl and I’ve had no problems with it getting creased provided I store it in the cardboard tube it got shipped in. Because it’s vinyl, it mea…Read more

Good Evening Mrs. Parfitt!

I don’t personally use Lightroom, so I’m not totally sure of where exactly in the software you would go to change your ratio to 16:9, but yes, it is a setting in Lightroom.

Look for the crop tool. You should be able to change the ratio and there should be an option for 16:9 in the list of presets. If…Read more

Personally, I’m not so keen on the one were you’ve de-saturated the house. I think it looks a bit fake, but it was a creative idea! In the painting of it,…Read more

see the video and chat at the same time.

Yes, @bennett-family, instead of opening the webinar in YouTube you can “popout” the chat box by clicking on the three dots icon. Then, as @momparfitt was saying, you can have them side by side in different windows.

We tried to reply, but it said we had to make a channel.

I had difficulties with the chat my first webinar or two as well, but I’ve found that if I’m logged into Lenspiration and my google account, it works. I also hop over and watch it on YouTube because the way it’s set up there is easier for me to see the video and chat at the…Read more

I like Lydia’s flower because it is not only partly in focus, but it is also bright. Our pastor sends out a daily verse that he receives from somewhere and my constant complaint about the background photos is that they are sort of muddy in color. I’m sure they are trying to make the verse stand out, but the blah background is dis…

I’m very grateful for everyone’s contributions and am so excited to be learning more and more about what “family friendly” means!

I’m really fascinated with Affinity Photo, @vince, and may buy it one of these days just to do comparisons with Photoshop! I personally don’t use PS now as much as I used to when I did graphic design full time. I’d really like to see the differences and look forward to studying…Read more

How do we find out what bracketing is?

Great question, @momparfitt! I mentioned it in the video and transcript of the following PRO-exclusive video (if you’d like me to talk more about it, feel free to start a discussion on the Q&A forum).

Are you going to be traveling to KY before Monday? I was…Read more
