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!

Disney December to Remember: Elf

Elf

There's something about small little men with pointy ears that says the holidays are here! And we can't think of two more cuter elves than these guys. Lanny and Wayne, better known as two of Santa's Elite Task Force: Prep and Landing. While they aren't getting homes all across the country ready for Santa, they can be seen at Disney California Adventure in the 4D Showing of Prep and Landing: Naughty vs. Nice.

Shopping

This photo is very special to us, because it represents a very wonderful trip we took to Walt Disney World for Disney Social Media Moms Celebration earlier this year. We found the Ye Old Christmas Shoppe in Magic Kingdom and fell in love with it. What about you, have you finished your holiday shopping yet? Or maybe you haven't even started, oh my!

December to Remember: Holiday Hidden Mickey

Holiday Hidden Mickey

We see Hidden Mickeys everywhere we go. We wouldn't be Disney Sisters if we didn't. We've even trained our kids to keep an eye out for the magic. Have you ever noticed how easy hidden mickey's are made just from ornaments hanging on trees? The holiday is a great time to look for Hidden Mickeys. Have you seen any this year?

December to Remember: GLOW

Glow

Everything looks and feels different during the holidays. There is a certain glow that only happens during this special time of year. We can't explain it, other than to say it's Magic. The glow is particularly bright during December on Main Street USA at Disneyland. What holiday glow have you seen this year?

It's the first day of December. We can't believe it's here. Our hearts are filled with wonder. Our days are filled with cheer. Tis the season of giving. Tis the season of laughing. Tis the season of family, good tidings, gift wrapping... As 2012 comes to a close during the last month of the year, let's enjoy this magical time while visions of Hidden Mickeys dance in our heads.

Our family is diving right into the Holiday season around here and our guess is yours is too. The fact that 2013 is just a few weeks away is really blowing our minds. Time flies this time of year and we don't want another minute to pass without taking some time to reflect the Magic in our lives. This season, more than any other brings extra enchantment to all of us so it only seemed appropriate to pair up our love for the holiday with our love for Disney. And we want you to join us!

Every day in December we will share a festive word or phrase paired with a Disney-themed photo from our own collection and we invite you to share yours with us. All you need to do is post your photo at your creative outlet of choice (your Blog, Flickr, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr) and add your url to the comments for that day’s prompt. etc. You can participate once or the entire month long, it's completely up to you. Anything goes. Each new word and image will be revealed at midnight PT. Our hope is that this will spark your holiday spirit as you infuse your photography with the magic that only #DisneyHolidays can bring!

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.

Disney Sisters First Trip to Walt Disney World

"Come Along and Sing the Song and join the Jamboree..."

As Disney Sisters take their first trip to Walt Disney World!

In the upcoming weeks we will be sharing all of the Magical Moments (there were PLENTY) of our recent adventure to the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration at Walt Disney World. It was our first time at the DisneySMMoms Conference, as well as our first time together at Walt Disney World. But for now we'd like to share with you just a few of our iPhone photos from our Instagram feed. 

Disclaimer: We were invited to the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. Walt Disney World offered a special discounted rate for all attendees and their families. This is a once in a lifetime experience and we are grateful to Disney for allowing us to participate. We'll be sharing unique things seen and heard throughout the Celebration. Please keep in mind these our own personal thoughts and opinions, not those of the Walt Disney Company.
