Hello, Lady 🎀
POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
Struggling to capture photos of your kids that actually feel magical? 🌸✨ I hear you, friend—getting those dreamy, frame-worthy shots can feel impossible when your kiddos don't feel like taking photos, the background is blah, and your camera (or phone!) just isn’t giving you the magic you initially imagined. But here’s the secret: It’s not about having a fancy camera or perfectly posed kids. It’s about choosing the right setting that naturally brings the magic to life—like a blossom orchard! 🌿🌸 Why an orchard? ✔️ Soft, glowing light that flatters every skin tone ✔️ Rows of trees that naturally frame your kids (no cluttered backgrounds!) ✔️ Floating petals + pastel colors that make any photo feel dreamy How to capture the magic—no matter what camera you have: 📸 Let your kids play—run, twirl, explore! Natural moments > forced smiles 📱 Use portrait mode on your phone or wide aperture and longer lens for a soft, blurred background 🌿 Get low to the ground to make your kids look like they’re in a fairytale - no matter how old they are. My daughter is passionate about learning Japanese culture, so we found a way to incorporate that into this mini session. You don’t need perfection—you just need a great spot. So grab your phone or camera, head to an orchard, and start capturing memories that feel as magical as they look. ✨ Who’s adding this to their weekend plans?! Drop a 🌸 if you’re in! ⬇️ Save & share with a friend! #photography #lightroompresets #hellostoryteller #momlife taken in Visalia, California by @helloladycompany

🎁🎄Which one are you? ⤸ Are you a wrapper or a bagger, Mom?! Wrapping (or bagging) presents with your kids isn’t just about gifts—it’s about creating special memories with them. The mess, the giggles, and those little hands “helping” (or making it harder!)—these are the moments you’ll want to hold onto. So how do you capture the magic before they grow up? I’ve got you! ✨ 1. Create a Festive Scene • Set up near a window or door for natural light or on the floor by the tree for a cozy vibe. • Add holiday props like ribbons, ornaments, and wrapping paper for context. • Sprinkle in twinkle lights or the glow of your tree to make the scene extra magical. 💡 2. Use Warm, Cozy Lighting • Sit near a window for soft, natural light. • Shooting at night? Add fairy lights or warm-toned lamps. • Avoid harsh overhead lights to keep the mood inviting. 📸 3. Camera Settings Made Easy • ISO: 400–800 for daytime or 1600+ for low light. • Aperture: Use f/2.8 or lower for soft backgrounds and focused details. • Shutter Speed: 1/125s or faster to catch hands in action. 🎀 4. Focus on the Details • Zoom in on little hands tying bows, cutting paper, or holding tape. • Capture the patterns on wrapping paper, glittery ribbons, and scattered tools. • Show the beautiful mess—scraps of paper and tangled tape tell the real story. ✨ 5. Embrace the Chaos • Snap candids of your kids helping or sneaking a peek at gifts. • Capture the action: ribbons curling, tape sticking, or gifts stacking up. • Include the whole scene, mess and all—it’s part of the joy! 🎁 6. Make It Personal • Include their favorite holiday mug or a beloved stuffed animal nearby. • Show your “helpers” (including pets!) sneaking into the fun. • Highlight the finished gifts, each wrapped with love and care. 💌 Comment PRESENTS below, and I’ll send you the Holiday Photo Challenge List so you can start capturing these moments with your family. Let’s make this holiday unforgettable! #hs_holidaychallenge_24 #hs_holidaychallenge_24_day4 #christmas #wrappingpresents #photographer #momtogs #momlife taken in Visalia by @helloladycompany

🪄a few magical secrets you should know ⤸ DAY 3: GLITTER & GLOW ✨🎄 Hey Mamas! It's day 3 of my Holiday Photo Challenge and it's all about capturing these holiday moments with your kids—the sparkle, the innocent smiles, the glow of twinkling lights—won’t last forever. Don’t you wish you could freeze this magic before they grow up? I get it, though—capturing it all in photos can feel overwhelming. That's where I come in! Let me help you turn that glitter and glow into photos you’ll treasure forever! ✨ Problem: Your photos don’t feel as magical as the moment. ✨ Solution: Let’s make the magic shine in your photos of your little ones. 💡 1. Use the Light • Sit your kids by the Christmas tree or near candles to use the glow as natural lighting. • Try backlighting to create a dreamy halo around them. • Incorporate shiny ornaments or reflective garlands for extra sparkle. ✨ 2. Add Fun and Glitter • Give your kids sparkly accessories, tinsel, or even glitter to toss in the air. • Focus on out-of-focus tree lights in the background for beautiful bokeh. • Use reflective materials like ornaments or sequins to add texture and shine. 📸 3. Simple Camera Settings • ISO: Start at 800–1600 to handle low light. • Aperture: Use f/1.8–f/2.8 for soft, dreamy backgrounds. • Shutter Speed: 1/60s or faster for wiggly little ones. ✨ 4. Focus on the Joy • Zoom in on tiny hands holding ornaments or little faces glowing with wonder. • Capture laughter, silly grins, and their natural excitement. • Forget perfection—your kids being themselves is what you’ll want to remember. 🎨 5. Edit to Enhance the Glow • Brighten highlights to make lights pop. • Warm up the tones for that cozy, golden glow. • Add clarity to glittery details, and use a vignette to focus on your kids. 🎉 6. Share the Sparkle! Want to make the most of this season? Comment GLITTER and I’ll send you the Holiday Photo Challenge List so you can capture these magical moments with your family and remember them forever. You’ve got this, Mama—your kids deserve to shine bright and feel magical! #hs_holidaychallenge_24 #hs_holidaychallenge_24_day3 #christmas #momtog #photographer #momlife taken in Visalia, California by @helloladycompany

✨Your sign to get snuggly with your kid(s) ⤸ DAY 2: COZY MORNINGS ✨🎄 You know—the ones with soft blankets, warm mugs, and the first light streaming in. Sounds magical, right? But how do you capture it in a photo that feels as cozy as the real thing? Let me help you out! ✨ Problem: Your cozy mornings look perfect IRL but fall flat in photos. ✨ Solution: Follow these tips to turn those mornings into dreamy, storytelling images! 💡 1. Use Natural Light: • Open the curtains and let in soft, diffused light. • Place your subject near a window for a warm glow. • Skip artificial lights for an organic look. 📸 2. Simplify Settings: • ISO: Start at 400–800, higher for darker mornings. • Aperture: Use f/2.8 or lower for dreamy backgrounds. • Shutter Speed: 1/60s or faster for little movements like stirring coffee. 🧣 3. Focus on the Details: • Close-ups: Knit socks, fluffy blankets, steam rising from a mug. • Rituals: A hand wrapped around a festive cup or a holiday book on a lap. • Seasonal accents: Pinecones, holiday mugs, or twinkling tree lights. ✨ 4. Play with Composition: • Flatlays: Arrange cozy elements—cocoa, a book, or a sweater—and shoot from above. • Wide shots: Show the full scene—morning light, tree glow, or someone snuggled up. • Layering: Frame your subject through doorways or holiday decor. 🙋‍♀️ 5. Add People (that includes YOU!): • Snap kids cuddling a stuffed animal or someone with a warm drink. • Pro tip: Set up a tripod and step into the scene—you deserve to be in the memories, too! 🎨 6. Edit for Cozy Vibes: • Warm tones: Add a golden glow. • Shadows: Deepen them for mood. • Presets: Try Hello Presets to make editing effortless 🔗⬆️ Comment COZY and I'll send you the rest of my Holiday Photo Challenge List so you can join in on the FUN🎉🎄 #hs_holidaychallenge_24 #hs_holidaychallenge_24_day2 #christmas #momlife #photographer taken in Visalia, California by @helloladycompany

Let’s turn your photo dilemmas into pure holiday gold! 💫 🎅You’ve got kids giggling over ornaments, twinkling lights glowing on the tree, and maybe a little chaos sprinkled in. It’s PERFECTION just waiting to be captured. Let me help you tell YOUR Christmas Tree story! 🎥 FIRST—What’s your vibe? Are you highlighting the joy of your kids decorating? The cozy glow of twinkling lights? Or the team effort of family FUN (complete with tangled lights🙈)? Pick your story and let’s roll with it! 💡 NEXT—Light it up! Use the magic of your tree lights! Turn OFF those harsh overhead lights and let the soft glow do the work. Bonus tip: Adjust your camera’s white balance to keep that warm, dreamy feel. 📸 DILEMMA SOLVED: What camera settings?! I’ve got you! Start with ⤸ • ISO 800–1600 (it’s low light, so bump it up!) • Shutter Speed 1/125s (to freeze those wild kiddos in action). • Aperture f/2.8 for bokeh or f/5.6 for group shots. • Use a 50mm or 24-70mm lens for total versatility. ✨ FOCUS ON THE MAGIC!

THESE are the memories you’ll seriously love forever. 🎄 WANT TWINKLING LIGHTS? Step back, place your subject a few feet from the tree, and use a wide aperture for that dreamy bokeh glow.

You're gonna want to SAVE this👇 Remember all those plans you had to capture and make family videos every year. But then you forgot or you didn’t know how - & now these precious summer days with your kids are slipping away😢 How many Summers do you have left? 8, 5, 3, ONE❓Let’s make them MEMORABLE 🎥 🏖Whether you’re capturing giggles on the beach or adventures in the mountains, these FIVE video tips will make sure your memories are creatively captured to watch together over + over ⤸ 1. Plan Ahead but Stay Flexible 📅✌️ Start with a loose plan of the key moments you want to capture. Think about activities like building sandcastles, hiking trails, or that epic water slide! But remember, the best moments are often unplanned. Keep your camera handy for spontaneous laughter and unexpected fun🎉 2. Steady Does It 🤳✨ A shaky video can distract from the moment, amiright? I suggest investing in a small tripod or use a gimbal to keep your shots smooth. If you’re caught without your gear, simply hold your camera with both hands and tuck your elbows close to your body. Your future self will thank you, I promise 😃 3. Mix Up Your Shots 🎬🎨 Variety is the spice of life—and videos! Combine wide shots to capture the scene, medium shots for group activities, and close-ups for those precious expressions or detail shots. This mix will make your video more dynamic and fun to watch. 4. Capture the Sounds 🎤👂🌊 Don’t forget the audio! The sound of crashing waves, chirping birds, or your kiddos laughter adds depth to your video. Make sure to record in quieter spots to avoid too much background noise, if you can💕 5. Be in the Moment 🌟❤️ It’s easy to get caught up in filming, but don’t forget to enjoy the vacation yourself. Set the camera down occasionally and be present with your family. Those memories will be just as valuable as the ones you capture on video. Okay! Are you ready? Remember, it’s all about having fun & enjoying time with your family. So grab your camera, follow these tips, & start creating beautiful movies of your vacations!

💭Let's talk about something ⤸ Now this topic is something that’s truly transformative in photography... ✨EDITING✨ Now, whether you’re capturing your fun family moments on vacation or honing your craft as a professional, editing is the key element that unlocks the full magic of your photos. Okay, imagine this ⤸ 🏖You’ve just taken a great shot of your family against a beautiful beach backdrop. The colors are vibrant, the moment is perfect, but when you look at the photo later, it doesn’t quite capture the magic you remember. This is where editing comes in handy...with a few clicks + tweaks, you can enhance your colors, bring out details, and make that beach as breathtaking in your photo as it was in real life. ✨Editing allows you to correct imperfections that are often unavoidable in photography (you know, all those strangers on the beach you'd rather erase from your frame). Lighting might not always be ideal, and sometimes, unexpected elements can creep into the frame. Through editing, we can adjust exposure, contrast, and shadows to create a balanced image. We can also remove distractions or add in extra wow factors, focusing the viewer’s attention on what story you're trying to tell. But... Editing is more than just fixing mistakes. It’s a powerful tool for expressing YOUR creative vision. Every photograph has a story to tell, and through editing, you can highlight the emotions and moods you want to convey. Whether you’re aiming for a warm, nostalgic feel or a crisp, modern look, your editing choices bring your unique style to life. Want to try some amazing presets that are perfect for editing your beach photos?! Included in our Family Vacation Photography Course @hello_meganboggs has included the perfect summer presets, HELLO BEACH + SO BEACHY!

Vacation TIPS!☀️🌴🌊 ⤸ Summer's HERE & it’s time to pack your bags + set off on your family vacations 🚙 🏖Whether you’re headed to the beach, mountains, or new city, capturing moments with your favorite people are limited + top priority! 👉But let’s be honest, getting good photos on vacation can sometimes feel like a daunting task 🙈Kids are running around, the light is never quite right, & before you know it, the moment is gone 😔 🙌But don’t worry, I’m here to help! As someone who loves photography + capturing those FUN family moments, I’m sharing five tips to help you take awesome photos on your summer vacation, no matter what camera you have ⤸ 📝Plan Ahead: One of the best ways to ensure great photos is to plan ahead. Research your destination and find out the best landmarks, scenic views, or quirky spots that represent the spirit of the place. 🥰Embrace the Moments: While posed photos are great, I love how candid shots tell a story. Capture your family in action—building sandcastles, hiking a trail, or simply laughing together. These moments are authentic and real and way better than forced smiles. ✨Use Natural Light: Natural light is your best friend when it comes to photography. Avoid using flash, as it can create harsh shadows & unnatural skin tones. Instead, position your subjects so that the light falls onto their faces. If you’re indoors, use windows to let in as much light as possible. Golden hours—shortly after sunrise + before sunset—are magical for photography. 🐦Get Creative with Angles + Perspectives: Don’t be afraid to get low, climb up high, or move around to find new angles & perspectives. Shooting from different heights and angles, which add interest + depth. Try shooting from your child’s eye level or a bird’s-eye view of your scene. Try framing your shots through natural elements like trees, arches, or even your own hand. ♥️Keep It Simple: Sometimes, less is more. Focus on the key elements of your photo and try not to clutter the frame with too many distractions. ‼️If you’re looking to take your vacation photography to the next level, I’m excited to share my Family Vacation Photography Course is now on sale!
