5 Natural Light Tips for Beginners
I pretty much exclusively use natural light for my images, because I love the variety and beauty it offers. I also love the challenge of working with what mother nature has given me to work with on any particular day!
However, learning to work with and see light effectively does take some time, so today, I want to go over some tips for working with natural light that is just for beginners.

Photography Case Study: Danielle Stanley
I started doing these case studies a few months as a way to show you the different journeys people take to get to where they are, and to shed some light on the ways you can grow your photography skills too!

How to Stop Getting Flustered Whilst Photographing People
Did you recently start to take photos of people OTHER than your family? Yes? Then, let me guess how you felt.....
You found yourself getting more and more flustered, unsure of what you should be doing next, worrying that you haven't got any good shots and feeling like you really needed to hurry things along because you were really taking too long getting your settings right.

So, in today's post, I am going to do my darn best to make sure that you feel calm and in control during your next photography session.

How to Make Time for Learning Photography
A few days ago I asked a question in my Facebook group about what was the number one thing that was holding them back from learning photography. Several of the answers that came up said an issue was they simply did not have enough time.
Now, that is something I can totally relate to!
Time is definitely my most precious commodity these days, so I have to try to work smarter in the hours that I've got. I can't add any more hours into the day (although that would be nice!) - all I can do is make sure that I am being productive in the hours that I do have, and that I using the time to get the things that matter most done.
That's what I am going to at least attempt to help you with today - make more time for learning photography, and how to work smarter with the limited time that you do have.
