My new favorite website is
Pioneer Woman. She has some great teaching tools for photographers on her website. One segment that I took interest in was the
Before and After Shots. Have you ever taken a picture and your subject looked like perfection, but there was an object in the background that ultimately ruined your picture? I have had that happen several times in the past before my knowledge of editing software. I would often times try and crop the picture to cut the object out or just simply let the picture go to waste. I know I can't possibly be the ONLY person with this problem. Lol. Another great inspiration of before and after shots is my friend Elizabeth Weitz of
Elizabeth Ann Photography. Check her out!
Here is my first try at a before and after. The star of this show is JaLynn Grace. Her mom had taken this photo on a recent snow day. Isn't she just adorable? The car in the background annoyed the life out of me, so I thought I would put my Mrs. Fix It touch to her photo...and Whallah! Here you have the finished product!

What do you guys think?
I'm thinking of doing more Mrs. Fix It segments in the future. It's a ton of fun. If any of my readers have photos that they would like to submit for a makeover please email your photos to
reneefrancisphoto@gmail.com I will glad edit them and feature them on my blog. I love a good challenge!
