Inspiring moms through photography

Not sure what to take a photo of?

Try using a prompt.

Giving yourself a starting point of something to look for will help you see things you might have otherwise missed.

This is what we do each week inside my Facebook group Photography Loving Moms.

Last week's prompt was HANDS.

It's free to join! Hope to see you there!

BUT it doesn't have to be that way

I remember downloading every guide and reading every resource to try to make sense of it

Now I'm here to make it super simple for you

Not sure why your photos aren't turning out the way you want them to 🤷‍♀️??

I created this free guide just for you!!

No more frustration because you don't even know what to search for to figure out what's going on with your photos.

Inside the guide, I share 15 top mistakes that I see beginner (and even some intermediate) photographers make as well as how to fix them.

Head to my bio to snag a copy!

I'd love to know which team you are. Maybe you are both or maybe you fall in the middle. Or perhaps you are team fun but dreaming about the idea of starting a business. All are welcome here! I just wanted to get an idea of who is here so I can serve you better.

I'm both but started as team fun. I thought I'd always be team fun. Never had intentions of starting a business.

But one Mother's Day 3 years ago, I found myself helping some moms whom I had never met get some photos with their kids. And I was hooked! A light was ignited in me that I never knew was there.

Getting that shot of how a baby locks eyes with his mama and they both smile...

Of dad twirling his daughter and watching her joy...

Of siblings laughing together over one of dad's dad jokes...

It's been my honor to capture so many memories and milestones for families.

Not only that but I also get to help moms capture these everyday moments for their family too.

Which photo do you prefer??

This month inside Moms Behind the Lens we have been discussing creative focal points and how your focal point helps tell the story.

😍 How fun are these photos by Moms Behind the Lens member Catherine Love:

Inside Moms Behind the Lens this month we've been working on getting creative with our shutter speeds to capture motion in a different way than we typically do.

Getting creative with photos of your kids is one of the best things you can do for yourself!

Both her and her kids had the best time taking these photos!

Which photo is your favorite?

Can you tell my which animal was my favorite??

My husband literally just asked me why people take photos of the animals at the zoo.

I was like hello! Did you not see me all day with my camera?! 🤣

I could have stayed all week just to take photos of all the animals.

Now, what should I do with these photos? Print one or just let them sit digitally to look back on?

Secrets to beautiful photos of your kids...

1) Understand light
2) Get out of auto mode
3) Edit to enhance

I just shared these 3 secrets in my free photography class this past weekend.

But the truth is we were only able to scratch the surface.

You see learning photography is a step by step process. Each skill builds on another.

If you have been frustrated or overwhelmed trying to figure it out, its because the information you are viewing is made for you further down the road. You aren't ready for it.

The hard part about being self taught is that you don't even know what you are supposed to be searching for. I say this because I started down this long, painful path years ago.

Don't do this alone anymore!

Save yourself some time and follow a proven path.

I hate to see so many camera sitting around collecting dust when every single one of them has the potential to bring joy to a family.
