The secret to our success on this family's session seemed to be starting bright and early. We were up before the sun had even crept out from behind the morning's overcast skies.

I get a lot of inquiries about teaching moms how to better use their cameras. So I have been working on putting together some information to maybe offer a course on getting to know you camera.
