QUESTIONS PARENTS ASK

Why not just watch free phone-photo tips online?

Because free tips tell you how to take better photos someday.

This tells you which three photos to take now, based on your toddler’s age, and gives you a simple plan to finish them before summer is gone.

What if I'm already overwhelmed by my camera roll?

That's exactly why this exists. Instead of taking more random photos, you'll have a plan to capture specific moments that will mean more later. Toddlers don't stay still and that's partly why your camera roll can feel like a mess. This is built to help.

Do I have to do this every day?

Oh no, not at all. I always say it's great to carve out one dedicated window of time when you watch the short how-to videos - you can watch all of them in one nap time. Then you'll have a plan for the three photos... you'll find three different days over the course of the summer to do the photos using the tips sheets... and voila!

What age is this made for?

I built three versions of the program, one for 12-18 month olds, one for 18-24 month olds, and one for 2 year olds. People have told me that the 2 year old program is totally great for three year olds, too. If your child is on the line between those ages, pick one that you think will work and you can always email me to swap if it doesn't feel like a fit.

You do not need more toddler photos.

You need the right three before this summer is gone.
