So I’m looking out my window in Denver, and all I can see are clouds. Hardly any sun, and it looks like it’s about to rain…again. Boo. I will say, it has rained more in the last month than it has this whole year that I’ve lived here.   Maybe Denver (the...

About Me


Welcome to my blog: Life in Focus. Where I talk about life design, photography, and business. It can get pretty spicy up in here, so grab some wine and hang with me.

I'm not going to lie. I used to really shit on ph I'm not going to lie.

I used to really shit on phone photos. Maybe it's the photographer snob in me. Or it's just the ehhh photo quality phone cameras had 5+ years ago. Or I'm just mellowing in my old age (doubtful).

But I'll be the first to tell you. I've changed my mind!

You know, not everyone wants to carry around a big, expensive, heavy camera every time they leave the house in case they come across something “photo-worthy.” Weird right?! 🤷🏻‍♀️

But you know what you DO carry around all the time, that's not heavy, usually fits in your purse, AND takes pretty ok photos?

Yeah. You know where I'm going with this.📱

Your phone is a business owner's best friend. And on top of it being your life line and connection to your customers and the world...it's the world's most practical camera.📷

Now I'm not going to say your phone is going to take as good of photos as a professional camera and lens worth thousands of dollars. It's not. Please. Don't kid yourself.🤦🏻‍♀️

But your phone is easy. Easy to learn, easy to use. When you understand HOW to set your camera phone up for success...it can take a pretty damn good photo.

And I'm going to teach you how.

Join me and our video expert, Heather Hukari with @phonevideo101 , THIS weekend for a 2.5 hour workshop on how to take photos AND videos for your business. For #denver locals only, and we're capping it at 10 people.

Sign up today (link in bio). Learn how to take photos you can be proud of...with just your phone. Your business will thank you later. 😉
