Guess what?
You don't need to be an expert to capture GREAT pictures.
I want to help you become confident with a camera.
At Snap Happy Mom, I specialize in teaching the basics of photography to busy moms and helping them understand how to take great photos of their kids.
Photography can feel easy and fun with just a few simple lessons!
I know you don't have a lot of time to invest into learning a new skill... you just want some good shots of your kids, pronto. I have tips you can use RIGHT NOW to improve the photos you're taking on any kind of camera, even in automatic mode.
"But don't I need a better camera to take better pictures?"
Nope. You don't need better equipment - you need to learn how to think like a photographer.

FAQs
Do I need a DSLR for this course?
Nope! This course has tips you can use with ANY camera or smartphone. I don't want you to wait until you get a nicer camera to get good photos - just use whatever equipment you have to capture your children right now!
The tips in these videos cover basic elements and rules of photography. If a particular concept is handled differently on a smartphone vs a DSLR, I explain the options and limitations of each camera separately.
Do you teach me how to use manual mode?
No, this is a beginning photography course, and it does not cover the advanced concepts of using a DSLR in manual mode.
In fact, while I believe you should get off automatic mode eventually, I don't think you need to shoot in manual mode to be able to get a good image. The tips presented in the course will help develop your artistic eye and take better pictures faster than learning the technical aspects of photography. Once you're consistently taking better photos, you'll be more confident learning the intricacies of your camera.

The course has 13 videos, each 10-15 minutes long. They are divided into four modules (composition, light, camera skills, and tips for moms).
