Family Photography Resources
For Your Photographic Journey

There are thousands of photography-related resources on the Internet, but the only ones you'll see on this site are truly worth endorsing. We even have some impressive non-photography resources.

Often described as a "Photoshop clone," GIMP is ideal for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and graphic design. It works on many operating systems and in numerous languages.

Over and over again, we have seen people start with an average image file, and by applying minimal editing, create an extraordinary photograph, like this (hover your mouse over it)...

We believe so strongly in both the power of photo-editing and The GIMP Software, that we have developed a Free GIMP Starter Package, comprised of 3 Video Tutorials. The first video shows every detail on how to locate, download, and install GIMP onto your computer.

These GIMP Video Tutorials are available to you WITHOUT CHARGE. If you want this highly rated photo-editing package plus the videos showing how to install and begin using it, complete the following form. THIS IS A FREE OFFER (at least for now).




Collage / Scrap Booking Software (Free Trial)

I use this software and highly recommend it. Once familiar with it, you can create a collage in 15 minutes that professionals charge over $75 for.

We hate spam, so your email address goes nowhere! And, for a limited time, you will receive our free eBook as our way of saying “thanks.”




The Tell-All eBook for Taking Great Group Photos

Most camera owners are very intimidated about how to take group photos, and that's understandable.

After all, you need to decide on the best location, find a good background, effectively pose everyone, deal with lighting, the composition, depth of field... the list goes on and on.

Even though these points are true, there is a better way to take group photographs than telling the group to "Move over there and smile." That better way is our No-Sweat Approach to Taking Great Group Photos.

By following the "By-the-Numbers" approach in our book, I can guarantee that your group photos will be at least 250% better than they have ever been (even if you've never held a camera before).

To find out how we created an approach that is just as effective for an experienced photographer as it is for a beginner, look here for a real eye-opener!




Take Spectacular   Nighttime   and      Pictures

Let's be honest - Taking pictures at night is more difficult than during the day. The most frequent complaints photographers have are:

• Pictures come out too dark
• When the photo is light enough, it's too blurry to use
• Using the camera's "Night Mode" does not guarantee a good nighttime picture
• It's too confusing to even begin

Why do you think this is? I believe the cause rests with the camera owner's manual because (for the most part) they only explain camera features and the basics for using them.

For most people, that's OK for taking daylight pictures; but not for nighttime ones.

So we've created 2 QuickTips® eBooks that provide everything you need for taking brilliant Nighttime and Fireworks Photographs:

• A 32 page Handbook that provides answers to these basic questions:"What do I need?" "What do I do?" and "How do I do it?" in an easy-to-understand format that anyone can use

• A one-page "What to Do" Summary Sheet (to carry with as your "To Do" list when photographing at night)

If you're tired of missing one more stunning photograph, find out about the:

• Three-step process NOT used in typical daytime pics, that must be used when shooting at night

• A Troubleshooting Table for correcting exposure problems so your photos are bright enough

• The Secrets for capturing dazzling Fireworks Photographs

• Three ways to Prevent Blurry Photos

• Sample photographs and the settings used

These eBooks can open up the world of Nighttime and Fireworks Photography for you, and are a steal at this price. More details...




Is There ANYTHING Worse Than Photographic Surprises?

We've all been there... you take your digital camera to an important event, notice a terrific photo opportunity, and then:

• Focus the camera
• Have the subject(s) get into a "cute" pose
• Click the shutter, knowing you've just captured a great photograph

Then you get home, download your masterpieces, and disappointment sets in!

What happened!? "This doesn't look like the scene that I photographed!"Well, that is about to stop.

We've created 2 QuickTips® eBooks that provide step-by-step guidance for capturing the best pictures possible:

• A one-page "What to Do" Summary Sheet (to take with)
• A 22 page Reference Guide jam-packed full of details and sample pictures

Wouldn't it be nice to look forward to downloading your pictures, rather than holding your breath as you hope they come out like you want?
