The mess, the light, the little face, you were there for all of it. Your phone just hasn't done justice to the memory.

Introducing: Your Photography Buddy
I'm Courts, a professional family photographer and mama who spent years watching mums miss their own moments because nobody ever taught them the basics in a way that actually stuck. Don't Say Cheese is everything I wish someone had taught me, made simple.

From the Mamas
"Courtney is one of the most talented photographers and business women I’ve met. The course so full of information, guidance and support! It was fantastic to practice what we’ve learned straight away and really made me want to continue on this journey and be able to capture my little one growing up. I was so impressed by the photos everyone's taken and full credit goes to Courts - she guided us beautifully through both taking photos and editing them. Thank you, Courtney!"

FAQ's
5. how long do i have to access the course, how long does it take to complete?
You will have access to the course for 12 months. If you still wish to access the course after this time you can renew for another year at a fraction of the cost if it is still available. It is a self-paced course. I recommend a pace of about 1 module per week to allow time for practicing each part however this will differ person to person.
FAQ's
6. how do i get support if I have questions?
Questions can be posted in the private facebook group (anonymous option will be enabled - however we have all been a learner at some point!) I am constantly monitoring the group plus it is great to get insights from the other mama photographers in there.
FAQ's
7. What level of photographer is this course suited to?
The course is suited from the most beginner (haven't ever used their camera) to anyone who is yet to learn to shoot in manual mode, and considers themselves a beginner. The editing portion is taught on lightroom mobile, so if you are planning on becoming a professional photographer you will need to apply this to the desktop equivelant. The core skills are the same.
