In 2010, after I graduated High School, my family and I went on a cruise to Alaska. Long story short it was breathtaking and insanely beautiful. I had just gotten my fist DSLR camera and I remember taking pictures of absolutely everything, including a bunch of staged family photos 🙂 They quickly became some of our favorite photos with the beautiful backdrops Alaska provides. At the time, I think Photoshop was the only mainstream photo editing tool available and it was crazy expensive, like over $1,000. So I didn’t do any updates to the photos. But of course when I started playing around in Lightroom, I had to go back and play around with some of the Alaska photos, or at least the ones that I could find.

Here are some of my favorite before and afters:
