I had never heard Nathan Johnson from Elerslie speak before! I had also never done tripod photography during a speaking session and merged the photos in post to get better quality results. Also, first time teaching at a homeschool conference with my wife. 😍 Lots of great firsts at the #familyconference2023! @familyconfs @alertacademy

Getting ready for Family Conference next week! Last year, for the Photography Team, we had a family "model" for us so we could get experience working with a family before going out and taking pictures of families we didn't know. Planning on doing the same thing again this year! @familyconfs @alertacademy #2023familyconference #homediscipleship @homediscipleshipnetwork
