What Do People Have To Say About My Organization Course?

“The Balanced Home Course helped me to be the “professional organizer” for my family! Simple steps to follow, check lists, printable labels, suggestions and worksheets will keep you on track to successfully maintain your own balanced home.”

When I realized I had been overcomplicating the idea of organization, that simplifying was a key component, then things really started to fall into place!”

OTHER ORGANIZATION PROJECTS
If you are interested in taking a deeper look into some of the spaces in my home, check out the following posts!
i would love to know how to set up something like a studio in my house… whether it be setting up backgrounds, or tips on lighting or what not. that would be the bomb diggity!
I would love more tips on photographing groups. And also, on shooting projects that I'm working on like scrapbooking pages.
Backlight issues and defining scenery/background. I'm finding I don't know how to set up a good photograph that I can consider "a keeper". Thanks!
I would love more techincal info and working in low-light along w/ how to choose editing software.
i would love to read those tutorials. your info has been so helpful to me over the year. i also would like to know how to get the shots where the sun is very prominent in the picture – still trying to figure out if it is more of an editing technique or how/where you place your subject.
I love the idea of learning how to better photograph my baby! I also like the photoshopping tips (like getting rid of racoon eyes and such). Fixing over/underexposure would definitely be something I am interested in. And bringing out the color/sparkle of eyes.

Would also love to read about scenery/backgrounds, and how you do larger groups (I have 5 kids). Sometimes they don't all look like they're in the same picture. ;)
I love ALL your tips! Moving from a serious hobby photographer to a more professional one, I find posing to be challenging. I like taking more candid pictures, but have realized that sometimes posing a client helps. I've seen "pocket posing guides", but they are SO expensive. I would love if you could come up with something similar to that at a more affordable price (like your ebook). As for blogging posts, I just love when a photographer breaks down exactly how they captured a great picture. Especially ones with extraordinary lighting/effects.
THANK YOU!!! What great tips. I learn so much from you and you make it easy. Even I can remember 1) turn the hips 2) pop the knee 3) bend the arm. I love your blog!
I would love tips for sport shots in bad lighting (aka gyms!). Also maybe more stuff geared towards the 18-55mm lens included with your camera purchase. I just don't have money right now to buy another lens.
your tips are great. I'd like to learn more about:
-how to edit & software to use, basically about "finishing" the picture
-how to add a watermark or copyright to my photos so they don't get stolen off my blog!
-taking pics inside
-posing large groups
Thanks!!!
It's nice to see how you met.
What a fun post Kristen :)! I felt and still feel the same about you. Wish we lived closer! I think we all have enjoyed having you post your great tips here over at The Idea Room!! Thanks just doesn't even cut it!
Thanks! I hate posing for photos, and your tip will really help! I love all your posts. I really enjoy digital scrapbooking so I would love some advice on how best to crop photos of groups and candid moments.
What a neat story. You girls are too cute! I would love some more photoshop tips. I'm sure anything you come up with will be great though.
I think more info regarding individual groups, toddlers, preschoolers, families, etc would be super helpful!
I have loved reading all your posts, and refer back to them often!
I would love to have the camera terms dumbed down and explained so I know how to actually use my camera with the lighting tips and not just use the green button on the camera. I get drab dark pictures of my kids school performances and I'd like to change it, but my random attempts to change each setting doesn't help because I don't know what I'm doing or why.
I would love to hear more about lighting, metering, getting correct exposure, and post-processing. If you have tips for Lightroom, that would be great since I don't have Photoshop.
Also, I always love the posts on displaying photos. I need to work on all of these things and don't really know where to start.
Thank you!!
My husband got food poisoning from Chuck-o-rama and it is now officially called Up-Chuck-o-rama by us! Maybe you haven't lived 'til you have food poisoning by them! haha
I would love to learn more about posing and how you approach each session differently. Maybe you have already done this, but how to shoot with back light, mainly the sun. You do such a great job!
Great tips! Even gave you a shout out on my blog.
Keep the tips coming!
I don't know how much of a pain it would be for you, but I would love to know the lens, iso, aperture, and shutter speed for the photos you post.
Step by step? Um, YES please!
I’d love to learn how to take pictures with the sun shining in the corner of the image, or through the branches of the tree, but also have the subjects of the photo be properly exposed. I love your guest posts and can’t wait for the next one :)
