There’s a lot of life that happens between photography sessions and you want to document it and if you’re like me, you want to document it well. So here’s a few tips for getting great photos of your kids at home with whatever camera you’re using.

I have had a few people reach out recently who are getting started with their cameras and that makes me so excited!! I remember when I was first starting feeling really overwhelmed and so my goal is to be a resource for those of you with an interest.

I received my first DSLR in 2009 for Christmas and quickly realized I had NO idea how to use it in manual. I tried reading the manuals, probably googled it and just still felt frustrated so I signed up for a beginners class. I really desired to take nice pictures and while auto on that camera was better than my point-and-shoot, I wanted more. That class helped unlock the basics but it was still hard to grasp at first. I did finally get it and I’ve been teaching myself tricks along the way! I really wish at the very beginning that someone would have put things in terms I understand and so that is what I have tried to do for you!!
