My Top Photo Apps for iPhone/iPad...best part: FREE!

For a very long time I've been in search of the perfect apps for editing photos. I love to take pictures and love to try and turn them in to works of art whenever possible. For this you must have awesome apps...below are my favourites! I rarely go a week without using each of these apps.

1. PicLab HD

This is one of my faves because of all the filters...they are truly amazing! I love the sketch, toon, and emboss filters are my favorite! There are also some really cool light fx, like bokeh, that can enhance some pictures as well. The last thing I love about this app are the frames. The only bummer is the frames don't translate well onto Instagram so I rarely use them. Hopefully they can fix this in the future!

2. Photo Timer +

When I was running my Beachbody business this app was essential. I would need to take photos during my workout and this was the best free one I found. It allows you to take multiple photos (up to 10) and allows you to take them anywhere from 3 seconds apart to 3 minutes apart! Seriously, I think the best photo timer app out there. 

I often will take a series of pictures then make a collage with one of the two following apps....

3. InstaFrame

Lots of different frames: they have different shaped frames for single photos, even some different shapes for multiple photos, and of course lots for creating collages. Once you create your collage you can add filters and text. I use this one constantly. All collages I have shared from here to Instagram transfer over perfectly with no issues.

4. InstaFrame+

This is a super fun app because you can make photo and/or video collages! When putting together a video collage it will allow you to play the videos together or at different times and speed them up or slow them down! Super cool, I think. They also have several cute frames available, background colors, and of course you can add text. This one translates really well with all features to Instagram.

Here are some pictures I have edited with the apps:

Welcome September!!!

So, September. This is a time of change. School is starting back, seasons are changing (whether or not you can feel it!).

For the month of September I am participating in a few challenges.

The first is a blogging challenge:

Fresh Start on a Budget

This is a blogging challenge that gives you a prompt to blog on each day, then you can share your link for the day! It's great if you are having a bit of writer's block, or like me are just starting a blog and need more topics to blog about! I am really looking forward to participating, she has some super cute topics to blog about listed in the challenge. If you are a blogger, or not and just want to write you should pop over and join in!

The second is a photo challenge.

Capture Your 365

This is a monthly photo challenge I just found. It appears as though they've had them each month, they give really a cute idea for a photo for the day to document your life! It's super fun and will really help me to remember each and every day! You should pop over and join too! 

The last is a fitness challenge. The details aren't set in stone just yet, but it's located here:

Get Your Sexy Back Moms

It will be a "bodacious booty" challenge to keep those buns looking quite nice. It will have a combination/variation of many of these exercises. Should be a fun one to get through September! 

I am looking to make September a month of accomplishment along with completing the last 5 weeks of Focus T25. What are you going to do to make September a great month??????
