This post for the “How To” series comes from a good blogging friend of mine. I am always blowing up her Facebook messenger with questions or general talk about blogging {and life}. She is also one of my go to people for graphics and advice on how to tweak my photos. We are headed to BlogHer Food today this year and I am psyched. Meet Allyson…

Hey y’all! I am Allyson from Domestic Superhero and I am super thrilled to be blogging for Shannah today! I’ve known Shannah for a while in the ‘blogging world’ and have always followed her blog. I always look to her for advice and help when I need it, so I am flattered she asked me to create a how-to post for her readers.

During the last 2.5 years I have been blogging, I have invested a lot of time into learning how to take great photos, and I am excited to share how to protect those photos with a watermark. The last thing anyone needs is some random person stealing her photos for their own gain! Not cool!
