Take Your Photos Up a Notch!

Are you ever trying to photograph a special moment and it just doesn’t turn out how you want? Maybe the light is bad, or maybe it’s the composition, or maybe it needs some editing but you don’t know how. Well, we’ve got you! Our supplemental guides help parents up-level their photos for specific things, like seasonal photos or back-to-school photos to help make them their very best. We give tips, tricks and inspiration to help have the vision in your head match the photos you take. While our online photography course for parents Capturing Everyday Magic course is our heavy-hitter where you’ll learn how to be a better photographer as parents, these guides help get you through special times with specific tips. Each guide also covers a special type of light that is pertinent to the guide.

All of our supplemental guides are good for all skill-levels and the tips can be used on any camera, including a cell phone. You do not have to have taken the Capturing Everyday Magic course to benefit from these guides, but if you have taken it, you'll be able to apply what you learned there and mix it with the tips here to knock your photos out of the park! They are self-paced and don’t expire, so you can come back to them year after year!
