  • i can't wait to read all your tips! i love that you have both photography and photoshop tips. thank you! i'm a visual learner and these will definitely help.

    maybe i will finally dust off my photoshop icon and learn how to use it for editing my pics. it just intimidates me for some reason.

    • Thanks! I'm also a visual learner . . . and Photoshop is not as scary as it seems! OK, I do say that after a few hours of frustration when I first started . . . but once you get the hang of using layers, it all becomes so much easier.

  • Jenna,

    I'm thinking about getting a new camera, and you take such beautiful photos, what camera do you have, or would you recommend?

    • I have a Nikon D90 which I really love, but I'm wondering if I could do it over again if I'd get a Canon Rebel. I have some friends that shoot with that and it seems fantastic. Good luck making the right choice!! =)

  • that's hilarious, that's what I ended up getting, it's supposed to arrive any minute now. I'm soooooo excited!
