Why did I create The Memory Gift?
When I became a mum and I was suddenly at home with a little baby, it was much easier to just take a snap on my phone than it was to go and find my camera, connect to my laptop, upload photos, cull them, edit them etc. Turns out babies don’t like to wait around for that stuff!
Instead, my iPhone camera was in my pocket, with me day and night through every breastfeeding marathon, every ‘throw the food out of the high chair and onto mummy’s shirt’ moment… and all of the cute cuddles as well. Naturally, the iPhone camera became the only camera in my life for a while!
But as a professional photographer, I got frustrated with the quality of the photos I was taking and my Camera Roll starting filling up with dozens of blurry photos of my first born (and, I’m not going to lie, my dogs). I also never really did anything with these photos. I didn’t print them or share them or frame them or… anything really.
I started playing around and googling and practicing and learning, and I realised, ‘oh wow, this works just like the way my big, serious, professional camera works’. YAY. Yes okay, it’s not quite as good, but when you know how to use it? That iPhone camera is a powerful thing.
I wanted to show other mums how easy it can be to take great shots of your kids, and so The Memory Gift was born. You’ll use what I teach in this guide to go from a full Camera Roll of not-so-great photos to a curated Camera Roll filled with amazingness – and thinking of you in a few years’ time sitting down with your kids poring over photo albums full of memories? Well, that is a gift for me too!
What is it?
A downloadable PDF that you can save to your phone, tablet or laptop, that you can read over and over to learn anytime, anywhere. The Memory Gift is packed full of tips and tricks to help you take better photographs with the best camera possible – the one you already have!
You will learn light and how to see it as a photographer does; the basics of photography with your phone including exposure, focus and composition, plus insider knowledge to help you take better photographs, teaching you how to take less and capture more.
The Memory Gift will show you what to do with those photos once you’ve snapped them (spoiler alert, it’s not to only look at them through the cracked screen of your iPhone or see them once a year when a Facebook memory pops up, or to feel #mumguilt because you haven’t added them to the baby book yet).
More about The Memory Gift

After purchase, you will receive an email with a link to download the guide as a PDF – the link is available for 24 hours. (Life gets busy… if you’re not quick enough, I can send you another link!).
Once you receive the PDF, you’ll save it somewhere that you can access it easily, either on your phone, tablet or laptop. I like to save downloaded PDFs to iBooks on my iPhone so that I have them at my fingertips.

At its heart, this guide is for busy mums who want to take better photos of their kids.
It’s also perfect for grandmas and nannas (they’re mums too!), and of course for dads (who, let’s be honest, will win bonus points if they finally take a nice picture of mum and the kids together!). And it’s the ideal baby shower gift, or a little something for the mum-friend who already has all the fluffy bunnies and cute onesies she could ever need.
But honestly, the tips are universal… you could also apply them to your business or any other photographs you take on your phone.

The Memory Gift is a self-paced guide. You could easily smash it out in an hour BUT I really want you to go and practice everything you read. Not all at once (who has that amount of time to spare?!), but in little spurts here and there. This is a lifetime book that you will come back to time and time again to refresh your knowledge and reiterate the skills that I have taught.
