Make Something that Matters

You long to create, to delight in making stuff, to get your hands dirty, to dream, play, imagine.

But sometimes, in the middle of All The Things required of you as a mom, your creativity gets pushed aside, tucked on the back shelf, or lost all together.

Let me show you how to feel creative in the midst of mothering children (of any age).

It is possible.

“It’s yoga meets parenting meets cameras meets moving meditation in the best way possible, in a way that only Miki can do it.  I LOVE THESE.” ~ Kristen Kalp, Brand Camp

Start Your PracticeHow to Start Your Creative Photography Practice ~ a very small and manageable first step

Your story matters. Your creativity matters. The way you see your family matters.

They need you to see them. To notice. To be here with them. Now.

And there is also so much Loveliness waiting to be made through you. So much you want to create.

Creativity and parenting don’t have to be a zero sum game.

When you find yourself in The Lovely Now, you can express your creativity while still being present with your child.

Starting a creative photography practice is the very first step to notice meaning and returning to your heart.

“I deeply appreciate the way you make room for parents to experience their own frustrations without guilt or shame. You are doing such incredible work in the world, spreading not just joy but wholeness. That’s the real gift.” ~ Jamie

Fundamentals of Exposure

With the birth of a new child often comes the purchase of a new camera. But a new camera comes with many buttons and dials that can be confusing.

This six-session class explains the foundations of exposure so that you know how to set these dials, and how to change them if you’re not getting the look you want.

If you’ve heard the terms aperture, shutter speed, and ISO but don’t quite know what they actually mean in practice and how they affect your image, this guide explains not only what they are, but how they work together to create the Light and Look you see in your mind’s eye.

Includes a bonus lesson on composition basics.
