Ever wondered how your fave blogger, or Instagram influencer get those beautiful shots?

“Do they have a photographer following them around all day?" I wondered the same thing before I entered the world of photography myself. What I discovered is that, even though some of them were in fact investing in professional photography sessions, or had a significant other with a talent for photography doing their photos, there were others who were doing their own photoshoot, and from their phone! 

Granted taking a selfie has become a staple in our day to day, but to actually give yourself a full blown photo session and on your own, seemed daunting to me, and nearly impossible, i mean how do i even set it up? what tools would I need? I was surprised to see all the ways we could create our own photo content, in a short amount of time, and all from a smartphone. So i took it upon myself to try it out, and the results were amazing!!

I had so much fun doing this that I couldn’t keep this gem to myself! Specially now that we are in the middle of a "quarantine" and the world is semi-closed, and its safer to stay indoors, and social distance is the new norm. What better time to practice our creativity than now, Amirite?! So I wrote this how to e-book to share simple steps that will have you giving yourself your very own sexy photo session in no time!
