✨ DIY Heirloom iPhone Photos ✨ Comment “HEIRLOOM” and I’ll send you links to everything you see here or scroll down for instructions on how to do it yourself!
How to create a COLOR Heirloom Photo using Lightroom:
1. Scroll to the bottom and click on the lines with 3 dots
2. Click on the box that says “Effects” and you’ll see VIGNETTE pop up - scroll all the way to +100
3. Click on “Light” and the first option you will see is EXPOSURE - move the bar to the right for positive exposure numbers (1.16 worked for us!)
4. Scroll down you’ll see HIGHLIGHTS - move to the right until it looks best (+24 worked for us!)
5. Scroll down until you see SHADOWS - move to the right for positive exposure numbers and adjust until it looks best (+30 worked for us!)
How to create a BLACK & WHITE Heirloom Photo using Lightroom:
Follow all the steps above but under “Color” you’ll need to move SATURATION all the way to the left -100!
Remember to choose neutral or warm-toned outfits - think linen or lace like the ones the girls are wearing here from the ! 🎀 And if you don’t have a white background you can always purchase a trifold poster board and use that as your background (I’m linking at $3 option to this post)!
