Would you love to take beautiful pictures of your kiddos but don’t know how to use you your camera? Many people love the way I take photos but I still feel they aren’t up to par. I try my best when photographing my kids, food, and craft tutorials for the blog but I sometimes get frustrated that they aren’t coming up as I hoped they will. I only use my DSRL Nikon 5200 in manual mode but that doesn’t mean I know how to properly set it up. When I was beginning to use my first DSLR, I used my auto settings then learned anything possible about photography by online tutorials. Once I switched to manual settings, my photos dramatically changed for the better. I was able to bring in more light and crispiness into my photos.
I believe that the key to a good photo is lightning, with out good lightning is almost impossible to get a good clear, clean and crisp capture. I’m no expert at all, in fact I’m just as a beginner as any of you. I have my own little manual setup I use every time I’m ready to snap a photo which sometimes works. All I can say is that it takes time to learn your camera and lots of practice. Sometimes I get frustrated that my photos aren’t coming up to my liking. I think of giving up but I keep on snapping and practicing, in hopes to get that great shot. White balance is my enemy when taking photos and I’m hoping to get some help with that on the Mamma’s Gonna Snap Photo 101 for moms – 4 Week Course.
With the photo 101 for moms 4-week course (which I will be also taking the class along with one of you), you can learn the basics of photography, get help, feedback and lifetime access to the materials. Momma’s Gonna Snap Photo 101 for moms 4-week course cost only $79 and if life gets busy and you can’t complete the course in the 4 weeks you can go back and review the videos, read the materials and connect with other in the online group.

Would love to get out of auto settings and get better use of my camera!
I would love to feel confident shooting in manual all the time. I use manual for shooting food/crafts, but when it comes to anything that can move – forget about it. I’m auto all the way!

I have seriously been longing to take better photos of my child. I follow many mom bloggers and lust after their photos of their littles. This course would help me take my own great photos. Plus I have a t-shirt that says “moms gonna snap!”

I’d love to win because I’d love to be able to take my own photos of my child instead of having other people take them for me! I bought a Canon Rebel last year and I’ve only shot a few photos in auto, I’d like to break out of that!
