I’m Courtney, and I’ve been where you are.

As a mom, I was super excited to capture images of my family and my children growing. But I didn’t have the skills.

My photographs were flat and inconsistent – I just couldn’t translate or capture what I saw though my lens. I didn’t know how to find and work with light. How to position my subject. Or how to make my images come alive.

That all changed when I cracked the code and learned the photography secrets that have helped me capture beautiful and lasting memories, simply.

I share them all here, at Click it Up a Notch, where I’ve helped over 57,000 people unlock the power of their DSLR cameras and take better pictures of the day-to-day love and laughter in their lives.
