Up-Level your Back-to-School Photos this Year!


This mini-course takes you through our tips and tricks to get great back to school photos. Topics include back to school storytelling through candid images, first day of school images, simple portraits at home and stylized portraits. We also include a lighting guide to make your images the best they can be regardless of the location or time of day and a list of our favorite photography products.

All of our supplemental guides are good for all skill-levels and the tips can be used on any camera, including a cell phone. You do not have to have taken the Capturing Everyday Magic course to benefit from this guide, but if you have taken it, you'll be able to apply what you learned there and mix it with the tips here to knock back to school pictures out of the park!

This mini-course contains PDFs as well as image galleries and can be taken at any time. It does not expire, so you can come back to it year after year!
