The Magic of Photo Editing #DisneySMMC

Remember when Tracey shared some inspiring photography tips at the Disney Social Media Moms On the Road event in Phoenix? That was awesome. Needless to say, she gets lots of questions about how she edits her photos (most specifically her iPhone photos) and so she came up with an idea. She figured she'd share her quick and easy editing process in 3 minute videos. She's really committed to the quick and easy part!

Tracey talks a little bit about the video series on her blog and she's going to add the videos as she makes them to her website. So, if you're looking to elevate your everyday Disney inspired photos (or any photos for that matter) with a little editing magic, you might want to check it out.

Hooray for magic!

Bonus points if you can tell us where this photo was taken (answer before you watch the video).

What are your favorite Disney treats? Something tells us Tracey might be persuaded to "test" out your sweet ideas for a future video!

Photo Fun at Disney California Adventure and #DisneySMMoms

Professional photographer Tracey Clark (and first born Disney Sister) is always saying, it's not about how fancy the camera you are using is, it's about learning how to get the best results with what you've got. AMEN Sister! We don't know about you, but it we've always got our iPhones in our hands (or back pockets) at the Disney Parks ready to shoot at moments notice. Doesn't everybody?

We're celebrating the Disney Social Media On The Road Events this summer and sharing some of our favorite photos taken at Disney California Adventure. Since the update of Buena Vista Street and Cars Land this park creates one heck of a backdrop to shoot amazing images. Like SERIOUS Magic, don't you agree?

The Iconic Shot

When you think of Disney California Adventure Park the attraction that comes to mind is the iconic Mickey's Fun Wheel. It's big, bright, and has that loveable mouse face on it. Add in the reflection in the water and you've got one magical shot. Say cheese! (See what we did there?)

On A Ride

Redwood Creek Challenge Trail is the perfect attraction for all ages. Take in glorious wilderness sights and embark on exciting adventures along the pathway to capture great photos of your family. Although you may have to look up (way up) to find them!

Sweet Treat

Nothing could be sweeter than enjoying a sweet treat at any of the Disney Parks. No matter what delicious snack you choose, (Churro!) (Dole Whip!) we bet it will be easier to capture more smiles from the family. Cruising down Buena Vista Street with a lollipop in hand - Life is GOOD!

Timeless

The beauty about shooting black and white at the Parks is the vintage feel that it creates. This shot looks like it could have been taken 50 years ago, but actually it was taken on our last trip to Disney California Adventure. You'd also never known that it wasn't shot on film, instead it with an iPhone edited in Instagram. The best part is that you can shoot in color and edit your photos into black and white later.

Night Shots

Sure you can get your kicks at Route 66 during the day, but at night this park lights up with style! Cars Land is a visual wonderland, to take in while the neon signs glow and the vivid colors light up the night sky. It's incredible to see in person and is stunning to photograph.

Disney December to Remember: Teddy Bear

Teddy Bear

This is the perfect time of year to snuggle up with your favorite Teddy Bear. Mickey's teddy bear is named Duffy the Disney Bear. The story of Duffy goes, that Minnie made Mickey Mouse a very special present (Duffy) when he was about to set sail on a voyage at sea to comfort him. We think everyone should have their own teddy bear to cuddle up with, especially at Christmas. 

We're so glad that you've decided to join us on our magical photographic journey

Olloclip Gone Disney: A Magical Review

There is nothing more magical than taking photos inside any of the Disney Parks. 

But we found something that can take the magic to a new level. 

Meet the Olloclip.

It's an attachable lens that you put on your iPhone.

100% compatible with both the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S.

It transforms your iPhone lens into a Macro, Wide-Angle or Fish Eye.

We couldn't wait to get our hands on this baby. Look at how cute it is.

The people at this company are firm believers in the "the most important camera you have is the one that is with you." And since all of us don't go anywhere without our phones, whatever we can do to improve our images is awesome! That's the beauty of the Olloclip. It's the quality of 3 major lens' in one pint-size package that fits in your pocket. SWEET!

We just came back from our first trip to Walt Disney World and we got some amazing photos. 

Keep in mind that these were taken with an iPhone AND Olloclip.

It's kind of mind blowing what this little thing can do.

But we're not the only ones who have flipped over it.
