Stop trying to pose your kids for “picture-perfect” memories.
The meaningful ones are within the chaos.
I’ll show you how to capture candid moments within 30 days, with zero tears!
Say yes if this sounds familiar:
- You’re always asking your kids to 'stand still,' 'look here,' or 'smile,' but it never feels natural, and honestly, no one’s having fun.
- You don’t want to spend every moment behind the camera, but you’re afraid you’ll miss capturing something meaningful if you don’t.
- When you do take photos, they often come out dark, blurry, or just… underwhelming.
What if you could stop forcing the smiles and start capturing the magic? Imagine turning those chaotic, unscripted moments into photos so meaningful, you can’t wait to frame them.
This course will show you how to do just that in just 30 days.
Capture daily moments without frustration
Enjoy the photo-taking experience
Photographing your family doesn’t have to be another chore on your list. I’ll help you shift your perspective and make it a daily practice you enjoy.
Capture natural expressions of your kids
Kids usually act and pull faces when asked to pose for the camera. What if you could capture their unique personalities and candid expressions?
Learn how to take better quality photo
While technical quality isn’t the most important factor, better-quality photos print better. I’ll also guide you through the photo selection process.
Posed pictures are HARD to get right - even for photographers.
Instead, try capturing the MOMENT, not the “please-look-at-me-for-one-second-now-smile” poses.
FACT: Children don’t like to be told to “stand still” and smile. They will move at the last minute, make a face, act up or start crying.
If what you want is...
- to capture meaningful memories and get them on your walls (or inside albums),
- to stop time and capture the fleeting moments that will not happen again,
Then, you need to save the posing for special occasions like the first day of school, birthdays, or Christmas, and focus on having FUN capturing the everyday moments instead.
Learn how to take candid photos you’ll want to print and keep forever!
- You want to record your kids' childhood memories before they’re all grown up.
- You want yearly photobooks and framed prints on your walls that bring you joy.
- You want a way to remember their ever-changing personalities.
- You want to capture the FEELING.
I know all this because I am a mother of two and have photographed other families for 10+ years.
And I have gathered all my knowledge in a short yet impactful course for parents.

Hi, I’m Johanna!
For the last 10 years, I’ve been capturing families’ most special and everyday moments while also documenting the beautiful chaos of my own family life.
Within a few months of my daughter’s birth, I had thousands of photos of her, but barely any printed.
It overwhelmed me. I wanted her to have photobooks to flip through and see herself on our walls. More than that, I wanted her to see what her childhood was truly like: that we loved her when she was happy, quiet, mischievous, adventurous, or even having a tough day.
Over the next five years, I thought deeply about why I was taking photos and what moments truly mattered enough to document, keep, and print. I developed a simple workflow that ensures the right images get printed, without the pressure of trying to “catch up” on everything.
Now, I want to help you do the same. I’ll show you how to capture the meaningful moments, decide when to pick up your camera and when to just enjoy, and finally get those photos printed and displayed so you can treasure them every day.

Questions Parents Asked Before About The Course
Yes, you absolutely will! While I can’t promise you’ll become a professional photographer or win awards, I can promise that you’ll start taking better family photos by the end of this course. And by "better," I mean more meaningful, more creative, sharper, and capturing more genuine moments. Plus, I promise it’ll be a lot more fun!
The course was originally designed to be completed in 4 weeks, but it’s completely up to you how quickly or slowly you go! If you'd like to take your time, you can dedicate around 2 weeks to each module. Or, if you're eager to dive in, you can binge-watch everything in just one week.
Each module contains bite-sized videos (under 10 minutes), with the total running time not exceeding 45 minutes. After that, it’s all about how much you want to practice. Whether you spend just 15 minutes a day or do everything at once, you’ll be in control of your pace!
You’ll have lifetime access to the course, which means you can log in and revisit the material whenever you like, for as long as the course is available. This includes any future updates or additions to the content, so you can learn at your own pace and come back to the lessons whenever you need a refresher. You’re in control of how you go through the course!
You don't. The best camera is the one you have in your hands. It is only a tool. You can create beautiful and meaningful photos with any camera. Some cameras DO have limitations and I will teach you to recognise those limitations and work around them.
No, you don't have to submit anything. However, sharing your practice in the Private Facebook Group is a great way to receive feedback and stay accountable. Plus, it’s a supportive space to connect with myself and other students!
It will and plenty of students completed the course on their phones. However, for an improved experience, I would encourage you to watch the videos / visual content on a bigger screen.
This course is a beginners course built for parents who don't have any specific knowledge in photography as well as parents who are further along in their journey.
This course doesn’t include live Zoom calls or one-on-one feedback, but I’m active in the Private Facebook group and do my best to answer questions and respond to posts. While my availability depends on the time of year and workload, I love seeing your photos and progress!
