As a mom and creative, my heart yearns to deeply feel every moment and not forget. I want to swim in the sweet moments, witnessing them pass doesn’t seem like enough.

So the feelings are solidified and saved in my soul in drawings, writing and photographs…. Only when I have the capacity. Which for years was non existent.

And when my kids were babies I was struggling to get through the day, let alone create anything.

Looking back there’s so much I would have done differently. But I’ve learned to continually let that go and see gratitude for all I did in the days of survival.

That season has given me the gift of perspective. I see now where I am is still the gift, a gift from my future self to slow down and see that my babies are still babies, and also big kids RIGHT NOW.

I am prioritizing creativity in my life as a mother, and choosing to capture the moments that before I would have been distant… too overwhelmed to take photos of other than an iPhone snap here or there.

I invite you to join me in slowing down and allowing yourself to romanticize the messy reality of raising humans. Take the photos. Be artistic. Be creative. Ignore the fears. Ignore the thoughts that tell you “if only my life was more aesthetic”. Say no to perfection and create imperfect images of your imperfect life before your kids are far bigger than they are right this moment.

⬇️How to fix images that are too noisy/grainy ⬇️

It means you need more light (hint: most problems point to needing more light, as light is the medium of photography)

Soooo… if you can’t add more light… you need a way to lower your ISO and still have a bright enough image.

👉lower your aperture if possible.
👉lower your shutter speed if possible. Not under 1/200 if your subject is moving at all.

If you’ve already taken the photo, use the denoise tool in Lightroom to adjust the grain. Or go artsy, try black and white, harness the grain and use it to your advantage!

I see so many creators who teach photography talking about all the latest gear, what to buy, what new thing is going to take your photos to the next level.

While yes, there are certain steps between different quality cameras that will make a difference, it’s not really about that… especially not as much as some make it seem.

My camera is 12 years old. My favorite lens is also that old, and was only $150. The amount I’ve grown in photography over those twelve years with this same camera is wild.

I didn’t need to buy the newer version. I needed to practice, play, and learn to understand light.

I took this photo of my daughter holding a toad within just a couple moments. 5 kids were running around all grabbing at the toad, we were on the sidewalk with dappled light coming through a tree, the toad was hopping all over, my boys were arguing over who held it next.

I was able to quickly adjust my settings within seconds, compose, and snap. 👌

That’s what years of practice has given me. That’s what you can also do (and it doesn’t at ALL need to take 12 years). I grew leaps and bounds when I studied other photographers, experimented with light, tested editing and honed in on understanding every detail within the style I personally wanted.

If you are in the same boat, holding a camera that may not be the newest and latest one, wondering what settings to choose and where to stand and how to edit to bring your images to life, comment PHOTO to get access to The Photo Lab.

Don’t throw your camera out the window yet.

Is shutter speed working against you?

Over the last two days my daughter has cared for and watched two birds die.

Our cat doesn’t understand the heartbreak of his instincts to three small kids, and continues doing what he does well. They’re starting to understand the circle of life quickly this spring, seeing him hunt and eat time and time again. He’s becoming a great hunter.

So we’ve decided to not interfere anymore, and when Otto brings a half alive creature home, we can’t try to save them anymore… for all of our sakes.

She did better with the second bird dying, and this one died right in her hands. I hope that little bird could feel the comfort of this ten year old’s tender heart as it passed on to birdy heaven.

We have some precious little homemade bird gravestones in the garden now. 🕊️

PS. Does anyone know what kind of bird this is? It was such a gorgeous yellow.
