How to Take Better Photos of your Children!

A self-paced, online course for Moms, Dads, Aunt, Uncles, Grandparents, or anyone who wants to learn how to use their Iphones better so they have quality photos of the little ones in their lives!

Maybe these describe you?

  • You take photos of your little one every day but only really love a handful of them!

  • You see other parents photos and wonder what they’re doing differently.

  • You’ve figured out some of the Iphone camera settings but something is still just missing!

Iphones are pretty amazing but unless you know a few photography tips, you won’t see the results that you want!

I’ve always thought Iphone cameras were great but I didn’t really understand how much I would rely on one (especially as a family photographer), until my son was born. I expected that once he was here, I would pull out my “real camera” for everything…but I quickly learned that just isn’t realistic!

It all started on day one - I went into the hospital certain that I would capture so many cute, newborn, hospital photos that I even brought a few different lenses! I think I finally pulled my camera out just 20 minutes before we were being discharged. Luckily my wife was able to take lots of memorable Iphone photos and videos while I was recovering and let’s just say, since then, I’ve learned that things don’t always go quite to plan. Having an Iphone within easy reach has really been a game-changer for capturing the quick little moments. When you combine the great little camera with real photography skills and tips from a Family Photographer, you’re on your way to photos that you love!

You don’t need a fancy “real” camera to take amazing photos! 

I understand that might be a strange thing for a Family photographer to say, but it’s true! Iphones have come a long way and are perfect for every day moments! If you’re going to be charging for photos, you will definitely want to understand how to use a DSLR camera, but for most parents, Iphones are more than adequate.

I always assume that people will need photographers - even as technology gets better - because we all know how hard it is to to get the whole family into a good photo! So, well I do think “real” cameras and photo sessions are worth their cost, having an Iphone to take all of your real-life photos is perfect!

Once you learn a few tips to taking better photos, you’ll have a better understanding of some of the things that look for as I’m taking photos during a session. It’s all transferable to Iphones and will leave you with some really great photos of your little one!
