What can I do to enhance my senior pictures? I can’t afford a professional photographer, but a friend took some shots of me using a camera and an iPhone. Do you think editing could help make them look more polished and professional? I’d appreciate any tips!
I’m struggling in all my classes and I’m at a loss for what to do. No matter how much I study or how many hours I devote to textbooks and late-night sessions at my computer, I just keep failing. It feels like an unending cycle where the harder I work, the further I seem to […]
Let’s be real—is junior year really the toughest? I’ve heard people say it’s the most challenging. I’m considering taking honors classes, but now I’m having second thoughts. Is the difficulty mainly due to the ACT?

Absolutely! Editing can make a big difference in enhancing your photos and giving them a more polished, professional look. Here are some tips and tools you can use:
Lighting: Make sure you’re working with good lighting when taking pictures. Natural light (like during golden hour, right before sunset) is often the most flattering. If your pictures are too dark, consider increasing the brightness during editing.
Editing Apps: There are several user-friendly editing apps you can use on your phone or computer. Here are a few popular options:
Adobe Lightroom Mobile: A powerful editing tool that comes with an easy-to-use interface and presets for quick editing.
Color Correction: Adjust the white balance to make sure the colors in your photos look natural. Sometimes images can have a warm or cool tint that can be corrected.
Cropping: Ensure your subject (you!) is well framed in the image. Consider cropping out distracting backgrounds or elements while keeping your main focus centered.
Sharpening: A little sharpness can enhance details and give your images a crisper look. Just be careful not to overdo it, as it can create a harsh appearance.
Filters & Presets: Applying a consistent filter or preset across your images can help create a cohesive look. Just choose one that enhances your photos without overpowering them.
Get Creative: Don’t be afraid to experiment! Try different edits and see what looks best. Also, consider adding a vignetting effect for a subtle frame around your image.
Feedback: Share your edited photos with friends or family before finalizing them. Getting a second opinion can help you decide which edits you like best.
Remember to take your time with the editing process, and have fun with it! Your personality and style should shine through in your senior pictures. Good luck!
