Your Photo Bestie
I didn’t learn photography from one perfect course or a neat little roadmap.
I learned it the scrappy way. Piecing together YouTube videos late at night, saving Pinterest posts, reading blog after blog, and testing everything until it finally clicked. My camera spent plenty of time collecting dust between those moments of inspiration, and I remember how overwhelming it felt to want to be better but not know where to start.
That’s exactly why Your Photo Bestie exists.
This is where I share what I wish I had back then. Simple, approachable guidance for using the camera you already own, taking better photos without overthinking it, and actually enjoying the process instead of feeling behind.
It’s also where I talk about what happens after the photos are taken. Printing them. Using them. Letting them live in real life instead of disappearing into a phone or a forgotten folder. I share ideas, tips, and favorite products that help you make the most of your images, both digitally and tangibly, so they become part of your everyday story.
Whether you’re brushing the dust off your DSLR, learning how to use the photos you already have, or just looking for a little encouragement along the way, you’re in the right place.
Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.
