Why I Launched Digital Camera Academy

This month we’ve been talking a lot about cameras…why you should use yours, why you don’t actually need the best, most expensive one to take great photos. And today I’m gonna share my (probably) unpopular opinion with you….you should be shooting in manual mode. What!? Manual mode. Do you think I’m a photographer? Have you […]

Why You Should Shoot in Manual Mode

So all month we’ve been talking about your DSLR camera…why you should blow the dust off of it and use it in 2020, what really goes into creating images (hint: it’s not expensive camera equipment), and finally answered the question, “Why all the lenses?”. So to finish off the month, and put to rest any […]

10 Things Your DSLR Camera Can Do For You

A Few of My Favorite Things in 2019

By the time I talk to a new client, they have already visited my website and have fallen in love with specific photos. When we talk about what they want from their photo session, they usually mention the word “candid”. The candid photos are their favorite. They don’t really like being posed. What most don’t […]
