Are you struggling to get your photos to match up with your creativity? Have you tried and failed? Perhaps you think it’s too hard, too late, you’re too old, too young, not smart enough, or some other lie? But the truth is - YOU CAN DO THIS!
Jennifer Carroll knows all too well how scary it can feel to have a vision in your heart but not be able to effectively get it out of her head and onto the page or screen. Through personal stories and practical action plans, she inspires and empowers women to pick up their cameras and learn a skill that can make real and lasting changes to their personal and business goals, their homes, families, and even their finances!
The Photography & Styling Shortcuts e-course is
real, honest, and speaks to the heart of the matter—
helping you change your life with a camera
and live the life you’ve always wanted!
-- BUT WHAT WILL I LEARN? --
Jennifer will help you:
• Take the seemingly overwhelming concept of "magazine-worthy" photography and break it down into an easy to follow framework for styling, capturing, and organizing great photos, even if you are brand new to photography.
• Gain an understanding of the key settings and elements of great pictures, so you can avoid the frustration and pain of images that are less than your best.
• Establish a photography routine and shot list that will make each shoot more efficient and productive without more effort.
• Organize your photos so that you can easily store and quickly find them.
• Become more purposeful with your time and your business by eliminating overwhelm, save money since you are taking amazing photos yourself, and become a more well-rounded and creative artist.
"To say that I learned new things by taking Photography + Styling Shortcuts that will make me a better photographer and stylist is quite an understatement!
I've been taking photographs for years and thought I had most of the technique down. Not even close! I garnered so many new techniques and shortcuts for taking pictures and for styling that I never thought about! Jennifer not only taught the basics in an easy to understand way but added so many useful tidbits like what was in her camera case and the best tripod to use. Such good information!
I also liked that I could print out everything she was talking about in each lesson to read and use over and over again. She even had a place for notes! Very well done!
I must admit, her styling section was my favorite. Oh, I loved learning how to train my eye and I'll be using Jennifer's techniques from now on! I only wish I knew this when I first started styling for my blog.
From lighting to food styling and beyond Photography + Styling Shortcuts gave me tons of useful tips and doable ideas. And it inspired me to be more creative.
Thank you, Jennifer for Photography + Styling. I've taken many very expensive courses on both and yours is BY FAR the best!!!!
I give Photography + Styling Shortcuts my very highest recommendation. If you want to be a better photographer and/ or stylist this is a must-take course!"

"The Styling and Photography Shortcuts class is a fabulous class for anyone wanting to learn photography. Having taught photography classes for over 15 years, I appreciate that Jennifer focuses on results and that you need to get your photos right rather than a lot of technical concepts that most people don't necessarily need to understand.
The course covers what you need to know, without overwhelming participants with technical jargon. She gets to the point quickly, so your time is well spent.
If you are wanting to up your game or you plan to start a blog, this is for you. She has a module on lighting, which I believe to be the most important lesson for any photographer wanting to improve.
After covering settings for your camera, the course also covers styling which can also be quite tricky. I wish I had access to a course like this when I was learning. It would have saved me many hours of mistakes."

Hello, I'm Jennifer Carroll from Celebrating Everyday Life blog. I am a photographer, national magazine editor, author, designer, and more... but I didn't start out here, not at all!
I have always been a creative person, but very soon after my daughter was born, I found myself suddenly divorced. I was a single parent with a newborn and a desperate need to support myself and my new baby. To say I was motivated would be an understatement.
I hoped it was possible to make a living doing something I loved while also having a flexible schedule to be an engaged mommy and make us enough money to pay our bills each month.
I had repeatedly heard the saying that "Content is King!" in blog-land so I dug in and devoured every single piece of information I could find on photography so that my images would be able to compete.
It took time and effort. I had to sift through so much information that wasn't pertinent to what I was doing, and there were days (weeks, months!) when I wanted to give up. But I kept at it, all the while wishing someone would show me the steps that were relevant to what I needed to know for lifestyle blogging - my niche.
In time my efforts paid off - big time! I am now a work-from-home mom who pays our bills doing what I love! But now that I'm on the other side, I want to stop and give you the help I always wished I had had on the journey!
So I proudly present to you my Photography & Styling Shortcuts e-course. Everything
I do - my equipment, settings, planning process, styling ideas, shot
list, file organization and post-production workflow to create the
images that you see on my blog and in the many magazines that I work
with regularly!
I show you what I do so that you can do it too! I
know that if you apply the information here, you will improve and I
pray that then you will begin to achieve the hopes and dreams that you
have hidden in your heart!

Frequently Asked Questions
Your Instructor
Hello, my name is Jennifer Carroll and I blog over at Celebrating Everyday Life. I began blogging as an extension of an event planning business I had back in 2008 because blogs looked like fun. Little did I know that that fun after-thought of my business would one day turn into a thriving, full-time business that would support my family!
I am passionate about helping women live their dreams and be all that God created them to be. I never had a good plan to follow when I was learning and I knew if I ever figured this business out, I would do all I could to help those around me succeed faster and smarter. This course is born out of that hope and dream for you!
When not at my computer you can find me sipping sweet tea, taking photos, and thanking God for his goodness as I meander around my dream-come-true home on my little farm in Virginia with my darling daughter, saintly cat, and our fierce and feisty dog named "Mr. Darcy!"
