You're literally letting us steal this wonderful information from you with that price. Thanks for sharing your memory-keeping heart with us! So excited to dig in tonight after the littles are in bed :)

Here for this! Thank you! The timing of this is so perfect. As I was scrolling through the photos on my phone, I was trying to find some of my kids that didn't show their faces, so I could feel comfortable pairing them with an upcoming essay. You always inspire me!

I hope it's helpful!! I am showing less and less of mine these days, so I truly understand that tension ❤️

Sheeeesh what motherhood will do to our need for control! I felt everything you wrote, right down to learning embracing mystery instead of chasing solid answers (which may be the topic of my current WIP). This has been my life's work, and my baby is almost 21 but I still feel less-than-expert.

This guide looks like an amazing Mother's Day gift for my daughters. I always love your work, Ashlee.

does it include how you edit your pics?

This one is mostly shooting prompts, i.e. how to position your camera / take different types of pictures. But I'm an open book and don't believe in gatekeeping so if you have any specific questions about editing, feel free to ask me anything!

Is there a couple preview pages? 😆 I trust you but I also don’t wanna jump for $15. Love you! 🫣🫶🏼😫😆💖

🤣 I don't have any preview pages (interesting idea!), but I'll tell you what: if you buy this, read/consume the whole thing, and truly feel like it wasn't worth $15 in the end, I'll give you a refund. (But only you, Danica. Only you. 😜)

I can relate SO MUCH to your entire journey through hating and then finding comfort in mystery (although if life is extra overwhelming, I still google the ending of books before I start them 🙃). I’m so excited about this guide, and plan on using it specifically through the summer as a fun creative challenge. Thank you for using your talents to put another life giving thing into the world!

I immediately bought and agree you should increase the price! Just read through it all and love it. As the memory keeper for my family and occasionally other people I loved all of the creative ideas in on easy spot. Buy this friends! Also would love your editing tips on white balance if you have any to share. That is always where I struggle!

I’m trying to use my “real camera” more. I’m looking forward to using these prompts!
