NEWBORN COURSE

Covid has changed a lot about how we do things. 

​

The photographer in me wants you to know that digital files age like any other piece of technology. And, when technology ages it becomes more annoying and costly to access and make them communicate with current technology. Think of a digital photo as a VHS tape - you could certainly plug your VCR into your TV but the new smart TV’s would require a different plug to connect it and the picture would be pretty crummy. Digital photos are like a VHS tape - do yourself a favour and print them so you won't have issues in the future. 

​

The mother, daughter, wife and memory keeper wants you to know that the photos you painstakingly take shrink a little bit every year. If you don't print your photos the rapidly advancing technology makes it so that you need to print them smaller and smaller. An old Digital file basically shrinks. 

​

My only introduction to telling my family's story was watching my Mom print a roll of film after a special occasion, stand by the garbage when we got home and throw the closed eyes ones in the bin from there she would slip the rest into one of ten photobooks that live under her coffee table. That’s it - the story of my parents pre kid life and my childhood are ready for me and my kids to consume every time we go for a visit. The difference between our parents and us is this - they only had one option in the 80’s and most of the 90’s so she didn’t have to think about it. She’s a naturally organized person who had one system and never faltered. She also tells me repeatedly it was far easier to raise kids and have a family 

​

If you’re like me, and have a full and overflowing life join me in finally getting your images off your devices and into your life.

What you get in the course:

 

• Clarity - you don’t even look at your photos until we define the story you want to tell. 

• Guidance - every week you will get the course work on Monday morning via written pdf and video tutorial. The biggest inhibitor to getting a big task like this done is staying on task - every week I host office hours via live zoom calls designed to get your questions answered and provide hands on guidance to whoever needs it. 

• Community - the community that comes together from all walks of life, ages and stages share resources and quick tips and, maybe most importantly, provide excitement and celebration around the big wins of finally finishing a book. Our engaged facebook group is there to answer all of your questions.
