I took a poll from my followers and y’all said you wanted to see a post where I share the secrets to brightening an image in Lightroom. SO, I made a *quick* video tutorial for you! No hemming and hawing. I get right to the point and walk you through my entire edit of the […]
Negative Space… it’s just as it sounds! The space around your subject that is empty. Just as with other types of composition in photography, Negative Space can help you create a dramatic photograph. Negative Space will often take up more of the photograph than the subject does, but not always. The background of a photograph […]
Leading lines are often used in photography to attract the viewer to your subject in a new and unique way. Leading lines don’t have to be as they sound – perfectly straight. Typically though, a line will start from a corner of the photograph and lead directly to your subject. The viewer will be following […]
In my recent post about Photo Composition one of the things I talked about was how important it is not to crop your subjects limbs out of a photo unnecessarily.

I started learning Manual Mode, and then couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t getting super tack sharp photographs. Isn’t Manual Mode supposed to make your pictures better, not worse?! YES. […]
Are you the “say cheese” mom that runs over to her kids when she sees them do something cute? I get it, it makes sense! You want to document a moment and that’s how you’ve learned to do it. I mean.. most of us grew up with parents or family members always telling us to […]
Photographing children can be a struggle when it comes to freezing motion. Children, especially toddlers, don’t sit still. Amiright?! Have you ever noticed when taking a picture of your kids that their face isn’t as sharp as you’d like it to be, or maybe their hand is slightly blurred? That’s from motion blur. Motion blur […]
