IS TAKING ENDLESS PHOTOS coming between you and your toddler?
Take these 3 PHOTOS THIS SUMMER, and then PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN.
Your toddler's SO cute, and you feel like you have to take pictures of everything.
But you never put your phone away.
Your baby's growing up and you feel like you're missing it.
• They already look so old compared to last year
• They move so fast
• It feels like you can't get that perfect photo
• They keeping grabbing for your phone
• You're considering giving up & hiring a pro
You're so close to getting that perfect picture of your toddler...
you take TONS, but 95% of them are no good... so you get your phone out to keep trying, and now you're just photographing life instead of enjoying it.
BUT PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS ARE SO EXPENSIVE
And it feels like you've been bleeding money ever since the baby was born... there's always something your toddler NEEDS and hiring a professional photographer is such an extravagance.
AND YOU HAVE NO TIME AND ZERO BANDWIDTH
There isn't enough time to get everything done each day, and it feels like there's endless tips and tricks out there and you could get better at phone photography but you just have no mental energy.
YOU'RE A LITTLE ADDICTED TO YOUR PHONE BUT IT'S ALSO YOUR SANITY
This was so me. I love social media but I hate it, too. I used to try to break my phone addiction every summer by swearing off social media... it's INSANELY hard.
So last summer I came up with a plan...
a solution... and now...
I'm on a mission to help parents learn to take great photos quickly.
At first I thought there wasn't really a way to fix this. I mean, parents are always going to take a million photos of their toddlers on their phones.
Phone cameras are incredible + toddlers are adorable... but they're also super speedy and hard to photograph well.
Then I realized that my 20 years of being a baby and family photographer meant I could help parents with this.
I could be the one to identify just a few photos for every age and stage of childhood, and teach parents how to take just those photos.
As a parent, once I knew I'd gotten THE THREE PHOTOS I NEED TO GET THIS SUMMER, I would feel so much more comfortable putting my phone away and being with my child.
Imagine looking over at your toddler's cuteness this summer...
but not feeling compelled to grab your phone because you already got that photo?
YOU MAY REMEMBER ME...
YOU DESERVE PHOTOS LIKE THIS.
AND I CAN SHOW YOU HOW TO TAKE THEM.
Wouldn't IT BE COOL TO FEEL LIKE I WAS RIGHT THERE WITH YOU THIS SUMMER?
YOU'D HAVE THREE SPECIFIC PHOTO ASSIGNMENTS
YOU COULD SKIP HIRING A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER
And MY VIDEOS WOULD BE THERE TO GUIDE YOU, HELPING YOU GET THOSE THREE PHOTOS
MY DIY TODDLER PHOTOS COURSE WAS CREATED STRATEGICALLY.
I want you to get your three perfect, ICONIC photos this summer.
And then I want you to put your phone down.
So I teach it methodically.
THREE 10 MINUTE HOW TO VIDEOS
You can watch all three of them at once and print out the tips sheets, or you can watch them here and there, whenever you can fit them into your day.
FOUR 10 MINUTE EDITING, PRINTING & FRAMING VIDEOS
And again, you can watch all four of those at once or whenever you get a free moment... And print out the tip sheets after each video so you remember the little tips.
AND I'm ROOTING FOR YOU, ALL SUMMER LONG
This is the first course I've ever launched, and I've put my heart and soul into it for 12 long months. I'm here to support my course participants BIG time - I am so excited for you to succeed.
This summer course is designed to lift the weight of photo documenting off your shoulders and give you the freedom to splash, play, and laugh with your child, without your phone in your hand.
INTRODUCING THE SUMMER ICONIC
I'm thrilled to invite you to join me this summer
as I launch the Summer Iconic, the first course of the Iconic Set by Boston Baby Photos.
I've got three fun summer challenges prepared. Make memories and take photos as you go.
You'll watch seven videos, less than 10 minutes each.
You'll spend time photographing your child over 3 different days this summer -- one day for each of the challenges.
I HAVE THREE DIFFERENT COURSES
12-18 month olds
Before you buy the course for your toddler, you'll need to choose which of my Summer Iconic programs fit your child best this summer. I made three versions of the course to accommodate all the one and two year olds.
18-24 MONTH OLDS
Because I know toddlers, I realize that their skills and abilities really change from 12 months old to nearly three years old, so I needed to teach three different programs just to cover what I consider the ICONIC moments of these two years of life.
2 YeaR OLDS
Having three options means you'll be capturing images this summer that really perfectly represent your toddler, whether they've just turned one, or if they're closer to one and a half or nearly two, or if they've already turned two or are nearly three..
& THEY ALL INCLUDE
HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR ICONIC PHOTOS
We're often rushing when we're choosing which photo to edit, print and frame. In this course I teach my POW Choices Method so you know exactly what to look for and can make an informed decision when you're picking your iconic photos.
HOW TO EDIT THEM ON YOUR PHONE
It only took me 20 years and 120,000 edited images delivered to my clients to develop my official cropping and editing methods... but now that my IP Lawyer says they're green-lighted to publish, I'm excited. I know they'll inform the way you edit your photos for years to come.
MY PRINTING & FRAMING RECOMMENDATIONS
One of the most important parts of the Summer Iconic is that you end up with three printed, framed photos at the end of the summer. Did you think I'd leave you without tips for where to print and get $8-$10 frames? Don't worry, I got chu.
I'll show you how to take those three iconic photos with your phone, and then I'll show you how to edit, print and frame them like a pro.
This Course has taken a year to develop, AND YOU CAN ONLY TAKE IT IN THE SUMMER
If this sounds intriguing to you, I'd go ahead with it today, because summer is brief, and the earlier in the season you start, the more relaxed you'll be once you've gotten your three iconic photos.
Capture your little one's summer with me now, before it's gone.
I'm ALSO DOING THIS PRETTY COOL MONEY BACK OFFER Thing.
If you’re a little worried about the cost of this program, here’s a nice option. This is a very NEW program, and I know it’s going to have places where it could be improved... and I’m really interested to hear what parents think of the Summer Iconic.
So I’m offering a full refund to the first six people who commit to completing the course and doing a zoom call with me when they’re done to give me their feedback. If you’d like to schedule your zoom call for the end of the summer, let me know and I’ll let you know if all the calls are booked already.
Refunds will be issued after the zoom call at the end of the summer.
BONUSES FOR YOU!
HOW I STORE & BACKUP MY FAMILY'S PHOTOS
Of course there isn’t just one right way to store & back up your family’s photos, but I hear over and over that figuring out what services to use to store and backup family photos is something my clients struggle with. Our family’s system has stood the test of time! I hope explaining what we do will help you think about how you want to manage your photos over the long term.
PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP ACCESS
I set up three private groups to personally support everyone who takes the three different versions of the Summer Iconic in 2024. We’ll make the groups into whatever we want them to be! Do we feel like weekly Q&As would help? A place to share with other parents who are also managing the same age child and getting photos of them this summer? TBD! Let’s figure it out together.

MEET VALERIE, MOM OF TWO
Valerie had her second baby, Kingston, last year, and she works
full time as a real estate agent in Boston.
She takes tons of photos of adorable Kingston with her phone...
But she never has the time to go back and look through all of them.
And she has photos in frames of her older son when he was a toddler around her apartment... but no photos in frames of 15 month old Kingston, because, well, life.
After Valerie helped me film one of my videos for this course last summer (and she hadn't even taken the full course, because no one had, yet...)
She posted these images on her social media and told her friends "Highly recommend! Jess taught me great tips and helped me capture and edit this."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is this better than all the free DIY phone photo tutorials I can find online?
Because when you enroll with me, you've got me in your corner. This is different than a phone photography tutorial - it's truly a summer challenge for you AND your toddler to do together... and there's nothing else like it out there. I'm not just teaching you to take great photos with your phone, I've got strategies and systems built into the course that will make your life easier. I keep saying it, and it's true. I got chu.
My phone's old, though - do I need to buy a new one to make this worthwhile?
Oh, no, not at all. The cameras on the phones we carry in our pockets every day have been incredible for years! An older phone will totally do the job. Sometimes storage on an older phone can be tight, but if you follow along with the guidance you'll get in the free Storing & Backing Up Your Family Photos PDF about using your phone as a tool, not a storage device, you should be absolutely fine to use a not-so-new phone for this course.
I have an Android, will this course work if I don't have an iPhone?
Absolutely. I'm an iPhone gal, so my tutorials happen on the screen of my iPhone when we're doing on-the-phone trainings, but nothing I'm teaching is iPhone-specific. Android phones have the same cropping and editing capabilities that we learn in the course as it's written, so it shouldn't be a problem to do the course with your Android phone. In fact, let me know how it goes, I'm interested to hear about your experience!
My child's age is on the line, should I buy the class that's a little too old, or should I get the one that's a little too young?
So I'd say think about your child's physical skills and abilities in the context of other toddlers you know. Were they an early walker? Maybe try the version of the course that's for a slightly older child. Were they a preemie so their gestational age is adjusted? Maybe try the course for a slightly younger child. If you try a course and you realize it's not going to work for you, just let me know. Don't worry, I'll fix it and get you into the one that's right for you and your child.
Summer will Be Here and Gone before you Blink.
Let's tell the story of this summer together.
