Phone Pics to Pro Vibes: The Edit Hack You Need!

Hey, knackered mums, photo beginners, and pros! Ever snapped your bub on your phone and thought, “Cute, but… yikes, it’s dull”? I’ve been there—new mum days, blurry pics, no clue how to fix ‘em. After 10+ years, 100s of bubs, and workshops with world-renowned photographers (where I still had to crack the phone-edit tricks they skipped), I’ve got a hack that turns phone flops into pro vibes. There’s a pro secret that wows clients (my course spills it!), and my free masterclass will have you taking pro-looking images in less than 30-mins! Click below for my free 30-min video to snap and edit like a pro—cozy, fun, and easy!

Why This Edit Hack Rocks

  • Quick: 2 mins—no faffing, just fab shots.
  • Simple: No pricey apps—just your phone.
  • Wow: IG-worthy pics—mums glow, pros cash in!
    Others push Lightroom or DSLRs—nah, my way’s free, fast, and nails it. Let’s fix those phone pics!

1. Brighten Up

  • Struggle: Dim shots—bub’s glow is lost (my early pics were gloom city!).
  • Fix: Open your phone’s edit tool, slide brightness up a notch—soft glow, not harsh.
  • Tip: Bump contrast a smidge—eyes pop, brings more depth to your images no effort!

2. Crop Tight

  • Struggle: Messy edges—clutter kills the cute.
  • Fix: Crop in close—focus on bub’s face or toes (show those tiny piggies!).
  • Tip: Straighten the crop if it’s wonky—pro vibes in seconds.

3. The Pro Secret (Tease!)

  • Struggle: Flat pics—no “wow” factor (even pros miss this!).
  • Fix: My course unlocks a filter tweak that makes ‘em sing—hint: it’s the type of lighting you use!
  • Tip: Join my free masterclass for the basics and get professional looking photos in less than 30 minutes —click below!

How I Cracked Phone Pics

I’m Jess—mum, Netflix binger, pork crackling addict. My first phone pics? Total flops—dull, messy, mum-fail city! Ten years on—100s of bubs, my own studio—I’ve built the JJP Method for you. It’s what I wish someone gave me back then to fast-track my skills, whether your bub’s a newborn, 9 months, or a toddler tearing around!

    “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."
