We are truly blessed by the amazingly talented contributors. These photographers are not only talented in photography but have a gift for sharing their knowledge with us.

I don’t doubt we will all be learning new things this coming year from these ladies.

Please help me welcome the new contributors and thank the older ones for continuing another year.

I recommend following them on social media so you don’t miss out on their beautiful images they post.

Marissa Young

I’m a momma to 3 littles and a wife to an amazing man. I’ve combined my love of photography and keeping memories into the Forever Notes Journal, my 4th baby ;) I love to photograph the little moments of my life and I blog to inspire other momma’s to make the most of where they are today.

Beth Deschamp

This curly haired blonde and blue-eyed girl is most content when she is making memories with her little family. Starbucks iced soy chai, paperback books, Instagram, almond vanilla cupcakes, blogging, a glass of bold red wine and snuggling a puppy in her lap are just a few of her favorite things. Her favorite thing about being a photographer is being able to portray the beauty of ordinary things in everyday life. Becoming a photographer has helped her to see the beauty in the little things, and that is a life lesson she will always be grateful for.

Laurie Flickinger

I am a wife, a mother of 3, and a natural light hobbyist photographer. Photography is my passion, my outlet, and my sanity. My love of photography started like most MWACs, when my 1st child was born. I shoot with a Nikon D700 and a handful of prime lenses. When not learning all I can about photography, I enjoy reading, decorating my home, lake time, mindless television, and laughing with the girls.

Allison Jacobs

I am a natural light photographer dedicated to shooting my everyday, ordinary life as it unfolds here in Southern California. I love seeing my life through the lens of my camera while photographing the people and moments that I don’t want to forget in my life. I’ve had a love for photography for as long as I can remember, although the interest to learn more about it and get serious really came with the purchase of my first DSLR about four years ago. That was when I realized that my Canon point and shoot could not capture my fast-moving son the way I hoped. Since then I have been obsessively learning everything I can, and I am so excited to share what I have learned here on Click it Up a Notch! My ideal day would include a good book, a great latte, and time at the beach (with my camera, of course!).

Jen Bacher

I am from Salt Lake City, UT where I live near the mountains with my husband and four beautiful kiddos. I enjoy all types of photography, especially food, travel, and lifestyle portraits. I have a part time photography business, but I shoot primarily for friends and family. When I’m not shooting I enjoy snow & water skiing, fitness, fashion, home projects, family time and…naps! I celebrate life through my lens and realize how important it is to continually challenge myself so I can grow. I love helping others learn as well and I look forward to contributing to Click It Up A Notch this year!

Brennan Lanter

I am a natural light photographer based in Chesapeake, VA. I spend my days with my 3 “littles” searching for the mundane moments I can make extraordinary through my lenses. I enjoy editing my photos in Lightroom just as much as I love shooting them! On a personal note– I love coffee, reading non-fiction and Justin Timberlake on SNL.

Liz Behm

I’m a happy hobbyist, and homeschooling mama to five. We’re currently living in the Deep South! I love documenting our daily life and am in my sixth year of a Project 365. I love drinking my coffee before having to reheat it 14 times, hazy backlit afternoons and naptime!
