As many of you know, I first decided to tackle manual mode after I saw my friend Megan’s photos and couldn’t figure out why they were so much better than mine. We both had “nice” cameras. She explained to me that she shot in manual mode. I wonder if she regrets the day she told me that :O) I begged her to come to my house and teach me everything she knew. I’m a terrible student and gave her the hardest time. She was so patient and answered all my questions. She continues to be just as patient and answer all my questions almost two years later. She no longer lives 15 minutes away and we can’t go to the park to shoot our kids but we still talk photography ALL THE TIME.

I know I can call or email and she is more than willing to help. Well, I’m not the only one who realized that she is an amazing mentor. She become a mentor on Clickin’ Moms a few months back. She is so generous with her knowledge that she has spent countless hours reading and learning. You can check out her thread in the Ask the Pros section here. (Sorry you must be a member of Clickin’ Moms to read that thread).

Clickin’ Moms has just opened up a new section to their CMU site. They now have a Mentoring section. This is truly amazing!! These ladies are not just your run of the mill photographer. These are some of the best! Plus they WANT to help you get better!! Yes, there is a fee that you have to pay. But for the price you are paying and the advice you are going to get is quite the deal!!

Megan is one of the many talented ladies who has offered up her services to help mentor you! Check out her page and see what she offers HERE. She offers anything from portfolio critiquing to an open Q and A!!

This is such a wonderful service. Think about it! Are you starting a business? Would you like a professional with a trained eye to look at your portfolio to help you figure out if you are displaying your strongest images?? Do you have a business website that you just aren’t sure about?? Do you have questions about editing? Do you love Megan’s style and want to know more about how she captures and edits her images??

So if you have liked the past posts that Megan has so graciously written for us, I highly recommend you take advantage of this opportunity to learn from her! Her critiques are some of the best I have received!!

Totally not related but I just wanted to wish my sweet little girl, Happy Birthday 4th birthday Kate!!!
