Believe it or not, I’m a huge fan of my sponsors here at Live and Love Out Loud. Not because they’re paying advertisers, but because they provide goods and services that I love.

My new sponsor, Paint the Moon, is no different.

Annie Manning is a breastfeeding, baby wearing photographer and the creative beauty behind Paint the Moon - your one-stop shop for professional Photoshop and Elements actions.

I am a huge fan. Huge.

Paint the Moon action sets are easy to use, reasonably priced and pack a powerful punch. My must-have action set? Annie’s Miracle Makeover, an essential tool in my photo editing arsenal that allows me to “smooth skin and remove shine, make eyes sparkle, polish teeth, remove wonky color issues” and more. Though I tend to stay as true to my subject’s appearance as possible, the Miracle Makeover retouching and enhancing actions are powerful enough to create a flawless look.

Another must-have is the Fresh Wonderland 2 set – a collection of “32 powerful, beautiful, easy to use and highly tweakable actions.” Combined with the Miracle Makeover, the Fresh Wonderland 2 actions take my images to the next level. Here’s a quick step-by-step video on how Annie uses actions from her Miracle Makeover and Fresh Wonderland 2 action sets to create a beautiful image:
