Win a Free Seat in my Upcoming Photography Class!
We all have that one friend that posts STUNNING photos of her children all over Instagram.
Maybe she inspired you to buy your first DSLR! You excitedly pulled it out of the box and took photos for a few days, but when your results were less-than-impressive, you shoved your camera onto a closet shelf and decided "someday" you'd learn to use it.
You LOVE to take photos of your kids on your phone, but still wish you could up your photography game and create beautiful, emotive keepsakes for your walls AND your Instagram feed. Maybe you've even felt guilt over not using your nice camera and considered selling it!
"But my camera is so confusing. My kids never hold still. I don't have a creative bone in my body!"
I've been there! For years, I swooned over other people's photos. I'm NOT a creative person and felt like taking beautiful photos was TOTALLY OUTSIDE MY REACH.
I got an entry-level DSLR for my birthday in 2011. I googled and youtubed and read books and forums and blogs. I took LOTS of bad photos and some good ones.
And now, my only regret is believing the lie that I wasn't creative and could never learn to take beautiful photos.
I want to help you get past those same lies. I want to help you learn to understand how your camera works and train you to capture photos of your family that you (and they!) will treasure for the rest of their lives.
