Made for busy moms like you, learn manual mode on your "big camera" so you can finally start documenting more memories without the price tag of hiring a professional. Kickstart your photography journey inside Making a Momtog.
You have these visions in your head of how the photos are going to look, but after snapping the shot, you check the back of the camera and... disappointment. You're confused and frustrated because what you had in your head is not copying over to your camera. Settings are overwhelming, manual mode is confusing, and you end up giving up.
You bought a fancy new camera but if we're being honest, it's just collecting dust at this point. You don't know how to use it and the thought of trying it out after turning it on gives you all kinds of anxiety.
You love the idea of getting every milestone of your little ones documented, but hiring a professional more than once a year will break the bank. You wish there was a more cost effective way of documenting the "good ol' days" so you can look back on your motherhood journey and your little ones' childhood.
I was in your shoes! I was SUPER motivated to pursue photography. From choosing the "wrong" camera, having no clue how to shoot in manual mode, to being completely clueless as to what I was doing with any of the settings. I spent way too much time on the internet downloading any free guide I could get my hands on... but none of it seemed to work. I was still confused, I wasn't confident, and I felt like I was falling behind on my goal to be a photographer. I was way too intimidated to reach out to photographers for help because any time I tried I was left with either being completely ghosted or a blanket statement about how it's their "personal brand." I was not aware of how "mean girl" the world of photography felt with the constant "you can't sit with us" vibes. Until... one day... when my college roommate put me in touch with her photographer friend.
For whatever reason when I first started out in photography everything was hush-hush. If I had the courage to ask a photographer a question I was left with no response. Until Mr. J agreed to meet me, all thanks to my good friend and college roommate at the time. Over coffee he shared his story with me, he answered ALL my camera questions, and allowed me to shadow him for some sessions.
With his guidance and kind willingness to help, I began to understand my camera. It was no longer a scary piece of machinery attached my to hand, but a tool that allowed my to take beautiful images. I was in full control, could walk into any room, change the settings on my camera to create beautiful, light-filled, images. But most importantly, I was fully prepared to pursue my dream of photography.
