The Secret to Great Photos in Busy Mom Life

The secret to great photos in the midst of busy mom life?

Take them when it is convenient, and don’t worry if you don’t have much time. 

I snapped these of my good friend and her daughters in under 10 minutes before they were off to a wedding.  I love that in a few minutes, photos that capture the excitement and anticipation of a fun evening are forever recorded. 

Life holds so many beautiful moments.

Snap pictures, snap them often.

Play with all the fun filters on your phone, and you’ll end up with a beautiful collection that you’ll always be glad you have.

Editing tips: In the photo above, I brighten and increased the contrast in Photoshop, then ran the Vintage Matte Free Action from the Coffee Shop Blog.  Totally my favorite photo.
