Check out this great site, A professional photographer based in the UK, here is her blog intro

I’m a professional photographer who has managed to avoid the full version of Photoshop by maximising the hidden treasures of Photoshop Elements (PSE) and I love to share my knowledge with you!

I have a passion to help parents take better photos of their kids.

I’ve got loads of great readers who get a daily dose in their inbox of:

* Before & After Monday
* How I did it Tuesday (A step by step tutorial for how I did Monday’s B&A)
* Reader question Wednesday (send me any photography questions and I’ll answer ‘em!)
* Freebie Thursday (I troll the WWW to find you the greatest swag for your photographic pleasure)
* Reader Photo Friday (you send me your snaps and I take time editing them!)
