How do I photograph my child on the swings, on the beach, at sunset, playing with bubbles...
We have all the answers inside our Photography Guides Collections - two collections of photo guides created for busy parents who want to photograph their kids better on the go!
What ARE the Photography Guide collections?
Picture this:
You're at the local playground, your kids are having fun at the swings and you want to take some great looking photos of them having fun. But it's all looking a bit blah - they're flying sky high and yet it doesn't look remotely the same in your photos.
But what if you could whip up a guide that will have all the answers?

Sometimes you don't need to know ALL the things, but you do need to know the ONE thing that's relevant to you in the moment.
I just devoured every single guide and I love them! I now have Ania in my pocket! What a brilliant resource!

Love them! Love the reminders of best angles to shoot and things to be mindful of in all the different situations and I LOVE the bingo sheets, it really helps to get the kids involved - we finished the play park bingo the other day

I love the fact that it’s split by themes, which makes it super easy to get a quick refresher. I’ve used it with the husband to explain and illustrate what I meant without getting too boring or technical.

a foolproof method
Each topic in the guide follows our signature tried and tested approach, following 4 steps:
Step 1 : The shot list : What to photograph?
This is where we help you plan for what you may want to capture, breaking it down into types of shots and highlighting any 'mustn't miss' photos
Step 2 : Composition and your positioning
This is where we give you specific advice on how to position yourself and your camera best to capture specific shots and what composition elements to look out for in that particular scenario
Step 3 : Light
This is where we give you specific advice with regards to light conditions you are likely to encounter and how to handle it as well as how you can use the light to enhance your image further
Step 4 : Camera and lenses
This is where we help you set your camera up for success and where we can advise what lenses to pick and camera settings to pay attention to.
2 COLLECTIONS:
inside each collection:
The FULL Photo Guides
Practical, specific, actionable photo instructions for specific activities, Each activity and photo variations explained in depth with advice on what to photograph and exactly how to go about it.
The Pocket Companion
A 'light' version of the guide optimised for mobile viewing so that you can simply glance and get all the key prompts without zooming in and out and trying to read small print in the glaring sun.
Bingo Sheets
Mobile size optimised sheet of single word prompts for each activity - to whip up when you're out and about and inspiration dries up.
Having those in your pocket means that you're never without advice on how to capture something!
I created the guides because I would have killed to have an easy reference like this when I was starting up.
I still get sad thinking about all those memories I could have captured, and hours spent frustrated, not understanding why a photo just wasn't turning out how I wanted it!
And these guides, it's a bit like having me in your pocket, suggesting what to capture, from what angle and how!
But how does it work, EXACTLY?
Planning a trip somewhere like the flower fields? No problem:
>>> Pick a relevant Full Guide from the collection and flick through it before you set off.
>>> When you're there, open the Pocket Guide on your phone so you can quickly reference back to just the info you need - all the key points presented in a visual way, slimmed down and formatted for an easy viewing photo format.
>>>And then, get your kids to help complete the Bingo sheet! EASY! No stress, and no faff.

These guides are specifically designed for parents, interested in taking better photos of their kids. We are parents ourselves, so we know the pressure points, how kids are in their normal lives and what are the most important thigs to get right!
The guide follows 4 steps - the first 3 steps : What to photograph, Composition and Light can be easily applied to the photos by anyone and on any camera - even your phone. The final step - Camera and lenses will contain a little more technical information in some of the guides, simply because to achieve certain effects you need a little bit of camera know how. This will vary from subject to subject as some are just more technical than others but it's usually it's nothing advanced and the majority of the info in the guide will still stand on its own.
Ideally - yes. But the majority of the info - excluding some of the technical elements in some of the topics - can be applied to any camera, even your mobile phone.
YES WE DO! If you're new to Photography or your camera know how is a bit patchy, but you want to learn how to consistently capture beautiful images of your kids - check out our Photography for Parents Fundamentals!
No, you can only get it when bundled with the full versions.
Yes you can! If you only need one or two topics, purchasing them separately may make sense, but if you want more, the collection is a much better option!
