NO MORE BAD PHOTOS 

Your Selfie North Star

Struggling with the way you see yourself? Our self-portrait photography program offers a transformative experience designed to help overcome negative self-image. By learning to capture compelling smartphone portraits, you'll reclaim your narrative and build the confidence to be seen and celebrated, and recognized.

As seen in Thrive, NASDAQ, MOTHER MAG, & PopSugar

No More Bad Photos nurturing a self-acceptance movement with a mission to fundamentally change how people see themselves through the healing power of vulnerability, truth sharing, and the unshakeable bravery to be yourself. 

Nearly everyone has a camera in their pocket, social-sharing platforms at their fingertips, and as a result, we are constantly confronted by images of ourselves on our smartphone screens, Zoom screens, and social media.

This constant capturing can be a fun thing—if you like what you see. But if you don’t, it can be a big day-ruining, confidence-shattering deal.

And if you are trying to create change, make an impact, be more present in your life, and stand out online? It's impossible to do without incredible images of yourself. 

Whether you’re trying to build an online audience, impress potential employers, build your self-confidence, or are tired of feeling obsolete and invisible, this is the place to start.

But what if you could take absolutely mind-blowing self-portraits of yourself that are even better than professional shots? That’s what I’ve been doing for years, and it’s been my secret to expanding my business into a best-selling course, podcast, community, and book.

Time and time again people are shocked when they learn I shoot everything myself.  

I'm showing you how to get the same results.  Our Method is science-backed and psychology-supported & proven to create transformation.

______________

But snapping the shot is actually the least important part.

Taking the scary step in front of the camera for your first self-portrait is courageous.

It is also on of the last steps in the Method (science-backed, psychology-supported).   The Method is the reason why everyone who completes the course experiences a shift & why our success rate is so high.

✨ We help you see why you are struggling to be seen and why you don't like your image in the first place.

Think of it this way.

If your therapist gave you advice and told you what to do instead of asking you to consider why you are in that position in the first place, she wouldn't be a therapist.  She would be a well-paid best friend.

I don't want to be your best friend.  I want to see you be courageous and heal your fear and feelings of not enough. ✨

I want to see you bloom.

Why is NMBP different from other DIY photo courses?

NMBP sets itself apart from other DIY photo courses by prioritizing self-acceptance and personal exploration alongside technical skills. While many courses focus heavily on editing tricks or camera techniques, NMBP delves deeper, aiming to help you feel comfortable and confident in your own skin.

Thinking you'll be the exception and it won't work for you?

______

Trust me, you are the best person to capture yourself in the frame.

 

01

You Know Yourself Best.

Research shows we have an expectation of our own appearance in 🤳. By taking your own photos, you learn the angles and expressions that make you feel confident and like you.

02

Give us the Real Real: 

🙌  Professional shoots can feel staged and unnatural. Self-portraits allow you to capture relaxed, candid moments brimming with genuine personality. Studies show we prefer photos that feel real over overly posed or edited images.

03

Deeper than pretty: 

👯‍♀️ Society equates professional photos with airbrushing and flawlessness. But research suggests we connect with real over glossy. Taking your own photos lets you showcase your unique features and celebrate your individuality.

04

Confidence Through Control: 

🥂 The process of taking self-portraits is empowering. You experiment, you learn, you refine your technique. This builds confidence in your ability to portray yourself favorably, translating into feeling comfortable and photogenic in any situation.

05

Continuous Growth: 

Unlike one and done professional shoots, the self-portrait journey is ongoing, allowing you to continuously refine your visual identity.
