Photography is your passion!  You take fairly good pictures of your kids They’re not award winners by any stretch of the imagination, but they aren’t clunkers either.

You were hoping to get your photos to really pop.You might be one of countless scrapbookers that just wants to take things to the next level.   So,  you saved your money and got an expensive digital SLR camera, only to be disappointed.

Why don’t your pictures look any different?What went wrong?  Everybody knows that the key to great photography is having a great camera, right?

We’ve all been here, at one time or another.  The truth is that it isn’t the camera.Having a great camera is one thing, but knowing how to use it is another. If you don’t understand the basic principles of photography, having a great camera will be of no help to you.

There are quite a few photographic principles that need to be applied in order to make a great image.There are a lot of things to consider, composition, framing, depth of field, color balance, subject orientation as well as the most obvious consideration……quality of light.

Who teaches quality of light?Where do you find a good website that’ll teach you how to set up lights for good portraits?

Do you find yourself overwhelmed at times?Maybe you’ve poured through tons and tons of photo books and we’re unable to find anything that effectively taught you about all these principles.

Quite often, some of these photographic concepts are presented in such a way as to make them overly complicated and you become even more confused than you were before.

If you’re a frustrated kid photographer, don’t get discouraged.Keep enjoying your hobby.

The secrets to great photography aren’t rocket science.  You just need to find a good source of information to help you apply those techniques.

Maybe you’re frustrated because you fear that the only way to take great shots is to invest tons of money into lighting, gadgets, backgrounds and other expensive photography supplies.

Consider for a moment just how much money you’re saving in film and processing costs by shooting with a digital camera.

WIth what you save on film costs alone in a few months, you can perhaps purchase an inexpensive portrait lighting setup.

Ultimately you want to be having fun with photography.Experimentation is nothing to be afraid of.  It’s ok to make some mistakes along the way as you’re learning the ropes of what makes a great photograph.

As you consistently apply the techniques you learn, the improvement in the overall quality of your images will become obvious.  Eventually, you’ll become more and more aware of you’re unique photographic style and vision.

Perhaps self discovery is the best part of the whole photographic process.
