The solution I share in today’s video is so simple that you could start using it right now.

After taking over 700,000 photos of humans I know that the most interesting photos are almost never at the beginning.

👉🏽 The beginning is only for warming up.

In fact, most people quit right as something interesting is about to happen. This is true in photography, in taking selfies, and also true in many other aspects of life.

This principle makes sense on paper, but for some reason most people won’t put it into practice. Instead, they expect the first selfie they take to be a HOME RUN. That’s just not realistic.

Plus, if you expect this you’ll hate taking selfies altogether. Not because you’re unphotogenic, but because you hold yourself to an impossible standard that no professional model, actor or content creator would ever holds themselves too.

And remember that—just like everything else in life—taking selfies gets easier the more you do it. Those first few will likely be the most challenging to look at, but if you keep going I promise it gets way easier.

Happy shooting.

Big love,

It’s finally happened... Live events are back! Business conferences, TED talks, weddings… thank the lord we are once again coming together in the flesh to connect and celebrate life. 🙌🏽

There’s a good chance that this spring and summer you will find yourself at one of these in-person events. And chances are, you’ll run into a professional photographer with a fancy camera taking candid photos of the audience.

This can be a great opportunity for you to get amazing photos of yourself—FOR FREE.

But if you find that the photos you get from these live events don’t look so great, a lot of the time there is actually a super simple solution to feeling more photogenic.

Follow these easy tips so the next time a pro event photographer captures a candid photo of you, you’ll be thrilled with the photos you receive.

Big love,

🔥 IT'S HAPPENING!!!⁣ 🔥

On Monday I officially open the doors and launch my online course Selfie Like A Pro™.⁣ 🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽

My team and I have poured our hearts into this course. It’s jam-packed with all of my best tips, tools and techniques to help you take amazing photos and videos of yourself with the phone you already own. ⁣

Selfie Like A Pro™ also comes with INSANE bonuses. There is a very good chance I will never offer these bonuses for free again.

This first cohort is going to receive lots of extras and a lot of my personal attention too. ⁣🙏🏽

→ IMPORTANT NOTE:

Yes, you will learn how to take amazing photos and videos with the smartphone you already own. And yes, this can drastically impact your business. But at the HEART of this course we are talking about something much more important than your business or your brand. ⁣

Capturing photos and videos of ourselves now, today, will be incredibly meaningful to us and our families in the future. ⁣

Learning to take amazing self portraits is NOT about social media... For me, it's actually about letting the world (and myself) know that my life is worthy of being remembered; that my time on earth is worthy of being documented. ⁣

I know that my future self will be so grateful for every moment I capture. ⁣

If this resonates with you and you want more info, check it out → ⁣https://www.selfielikeapro.co/

We officially go live on Monday, but if you join the waiting list now you’ll get early access. ⁣☺️

Big love, ⁣

Sometimes for a great selfie you need your hands to be free.⁣

There’s a hidden feature that most people don’t know about on millions of smartphones. It’s called “Voice Command” and it allows you to activate your camera and take hands-free photos simply by saying 3 magic words.⁣

Can you guess what they are? ⁣

Watch this short video and I’ll share all 3 voice commands with you.⁣

IMPORTANT NOTE: This specific hands-free selfie trick is currently only available on Android phones. iPhones also have a voice activated feature. It’s a bit different, but in the end does the exact same thing. If you’d like to see how that works, comment below and I’ll make a separate video just for iPhones.⁣

PS: If you want to build some more confidence when it comes to selfies and smartphones you should join my FREE 21-Day Photo Challenge.⁣⁣

Everyone is welcome. It’s going to be a ton of fun. The only tech you will need is your smartphone/iPhone and a journal. We start next week!⁣

Big Love,⁣

Starting next week on Feb 1st, I am launching a FREE 21-day photo challenge. The goal is to inspire all you amazing humans out there to take full advantage of your smartphone cameras. 📸

We will start super slow. There will be an optional journaling prompt that is related to each day’s challenge. There will even be opportunities for me to review your photos and give constructive feedback if you’re up for it.

(The photo review is optional and will be done in a fun and loving way. I promise.)

The goal is to gently build confidence and creative momentum over the course of 21 days. 

But also, the other goal is to have FUN! 

The cost is $0.00 and EVERYONE is invited. All you need is your smartphone and a journal.
