Learn to use your camera to take

photos you love in 6 weeks-

without traveling to an in-person class, becoming overwhelmed,

or not feeling “techy” enough.

You already know

If you’re a mom with a "fancy" digital camera (or thinking about getting one) and you want to finally take photos you love, you already know the truth: Auto Mode isn’t going to get you there.

And honestly? I don’t need to remind you of that little voice you hear every time you walk past your camera collecting dust.

You know your photos could be so much better—you just need someone to show you how.

This is probably why you chose to buy a nice camera in the first place.

You want to...

  • capture your family’s big and small moments - first steps, vacations, graduations, and everything in between

  • feel confident every time you pick up your camera & know exactly which settings will give you the shot you love.

  • take full advantage of what your camera can do & break free from auto mode.

  • stop feeling like you have to hire a photographer multiple times a year just to get decent photos.

  • love your photos. At the end of the day, when you scroll through your shots, feel proud knowing you captured them.

Even though the reasons to use your camera are obvious, the path to doing it successfully is anything but.

Shoot in manual mode? Great, but where in the world do I start?

Perhaps you’ve even given it a real try before.

You’ve probably Googled “How do I take better pictures with my camera?” only to end up lost in tutorials, videos, and blog posts that left you more confused.

Maybe you even cracked open the camera manual (and slammed it shut after the first paragraph).

Or you asked a friend who “takes really good pictures,” only to forget everything the moment she walked away.

Most moms end up right back in auto mode—frustrated, overwhelmed, and wondering why learning this feels so hard.

YES! I'M READY TO LEARN MY CAMERA

Don’t drown in the sea of information.

Here’s why most moms who buy a “fancy camera” with intentions of learning how to use it, abandon it all together.

It’s not because you don’t want to learn. It’s because the information out there is overwhelming and scattered.

You try one approach, get stuck, and move on to the next… only to get stuck again.

Sometimes you stumble on an 'aha moment', but you can’t see how it fits into the bigger picture.

So the camera goes back on the shelf, and you feel guilty for spending so much money on something you don’t use.

The truth? Learning your camera is easier than you think.

There’s a clear, step-by-step method, and you’re absolutely capable of learning it.

The 3 Reasons Why Most People Never Take Their Camera Out of Auto Mode:

  • The tech feels overwhelming

Your camera looks like a tiny computer—buttons, dials, numbers everywhere. It feels like a secret code you’ll never crack.

  • No solid foundation

Google tips can give you one puzzle piece at a time, but without the bigger picture, it never clicks.

  • Not treating it like a real skill

Think about learning an instrument or a dance routine—you don’t master it overnight. It takes practice.

Introducing

The Photo Glow Up

A step-by-step course for moms who want to confidently use their

camera to capture their family’s story, one click at a time.

I’ve taken everything I’ve learned from 2 degrees in education, 10 years of teaching, and my experience running a thriving photography business-and poured it into a simple, step-by-step program.

The Photo Glow Up doesn’t just teach you how to use your camera, it shows you how to capture photos you truly love, without the overwhelm.

The Photo Glow Up isn’t just random tips; it's a complete system.

It takes you from the very basics (like holding your camera correctly) to more advanced skills (like manual settings and composition).

And it’s built with busy moms in mind—no filler, no useless tech terms, no unnecessary lessons.

Just simple, step-by-step lessons that show you exactly what to do so you can take photos of your family you’re truly proud of.

The Photo Glow Up is hands-on. You’ll practice as you go and celebrate your progress along the way.

My friend even thought I had hired a photographer!"

I loved how real you were. It was like a smart friend breaking down something that felt so complex, into easy to understand languages and examples.

I also loved seeing your photos and hearing story behind it, how and why you decided to take the pictures, what your settings were etc...

I had really given up on my camera, I was frustrated with the pictures I took using it. It had been sitting in a cabinet for unused for too long. I have now been carrying it with me everywhere.
