Instagram is also one of the most important profiles for moms and bloggers. Moms capture their memories, and bloggers tell their stories.

This is a great post. I’ve checked out all the other articles and they will help me a great deal with my photography. I already have a tripod now I need to figure out the remote part and some angles and lighting. Thanks for posting this.
I finally figured out remote shooting, where I can use the cannon app on my phone, and see what I’m shooting now, it’s great!
The tripod is so fun! I need to be better about setting mine up while we are on the go because we could get so many fun shots!
