On Thursday we celebrated our son’s 8th birthday. As we’ve added children to our family, 3 in all, these birthdays seem to sneak up on us even faster. When the actual day comes, I’m usually scurrying around running errands…picking up the cake, blowing up balloons,  counting up RSVPs and wrapping gifts. But at some point..usually […]

Birthday Photo Traditions

If you’re anything like me, you’re swimming in photos. Your phone’s camera roll goes back years, your computer has dozens for random folders, and you constantly get notifications that your space in the cloud is filling up fast. And although the photos run deep, so many of our walls are bare and we can’t find […]

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 […]

Why You Don’t Need the Best Camera Equipment

Let me paint you a picture this morning. Imagine me, 26 years old, 8 months pregnant with my first child, sitting cross-legged on our bed while I watched my husband excitedly unbox the brand new DSLR camera that we just bought. I watched as he took out the camera and carefully sat it on the […]
