Two summers ago, when our family took a long roadtrip, we packed 6 cameras:
2 DSLR cameras – our good camera and the older one as a backup
1 GoPro
1 video camera
2 phones (Ryan uses an android, I’m an iPhone girl).
Why? Well, we knew the roadtrip would be a once in a lifetime opportunity and we didn’t want to miss a moment.
On our first couple of outings we brought along the big fancy camera, hoping it would ensure we got the best photos possible.
It didn’t take long, however, for us to realize that packing around the good camera was not our favorite. It felt bulky and a little risky (what if we dropped it? what if someone stole it?). And funny enough, even when we did have it with us, we found ourselves reaching for our phones to snap pictures instead of using the big camera. They are just so convenient!
What really tipped us over the edge was that we were actually quite happy with the quality of the photos we were getting with our phones. We found we didn’t really need all those cameras we brought along.
Out of the hundreds (maybe thousand?!) of pictures that we took on that 4 month adventure, only a few were shot using our ‘good’ camera, we never touched the video camera and we only pulled out the GoPro a handful of times. The rest were snapped on our phones with minimal editing using a few free editing apps.
In my everyday use – at home, out and about, for the blog and instagram – I’m finding myself reaching less for my ‘good camera’ and more for the one that’s in my back pocket throughout the day.
The best part is that those little devices originally intended for phone calls are actually quite exceptional at capturing photos.
Whether you are taking photos of your family, your travels, your home, products you’re selling or the food you’re making, you can get great pictures with just your phone and a few editing apps.
In my newest online class, I can’t wait to show you how.

Thank you! And thank you for understanding that I meant entire video… Not easy video! 😝
A quick question…. How long will the entire class take. I saw that you said that there are 7 videos. How long is easy video? Thank you!
