Why Messy Homes Don’t Ruin Pics (They Can Shine!)

Clutter doesn’t have to kill your vibe—here’s why these hacks rock:

  • Fast: 2-min fixes—perfect when bub’s calm, no scrubbing needed.
  • Free: Home stuff—zero cash, just cozy vibes.
  • Real Deal: Pro shots at any stage, even tricky toddlers—mums save those memories for the album, pros snag clients and feel proud of their work!
    Other tips say hire a pro or ask you to have a Pinterest picture-perfect home first—nah, my way’s simpler, cozier, and gets it done. Let’s transform those pics!

1. Chaos Crop – Tighten It Up

  • Mistake: Wide shots show laundry, dog hair, mess galore—I’ve seen clients ditch these fast!
  • Fix: Zoom in with your phone or DSLR—crop tight on bub’s face or hands. Clutter vanishes, cuteness takes over!
  • Tip: Focus on those sleepy eyes or tiny toes peeking out—details pop, mess hides easy- it won’t even be in frame! Mums, you’ll save the moment; pros, your clients will love it!

2. Blanket Boost – Toss & Shoot

  • Mistake: Ugly backgrounds like couch stains or toy explosions—my early pics screamed this!
  • Fix: Chuck a knit throw or linen sheet over the mess—pop bub on top for an instant clean vibe. Texture adds a little wow, no effort!
  • Tip: Crinkle it a bit—soft layers lift the shot. Works for newborns or tricky toddlers too—Mums, your album will thank you; pros, variety wins every time!

3. The Pro Angle – Magic Twist (Tease!)

  • Mistake: Flat angles let mess peek through—pics feel blah, even pros miss this one!
  • Fix: My course spills it—one angle hides chaos and wows every time, no tidy-up needed. For now, hint: it’s not just overhead—think sneaky side vibes!

    “Jess was absolutely amazing with our newborn son during the shoot. I felt so comfortable with the way she nurtured his needs and comforted him during the process. Plus the final product was amazing and there is lots of different packages you can choose from that suit your needs."
