Is this the cutest family ever?!

Come behind the scenes with me and take a sneaky peak at a fun-filled family portrait shoot with Wild Child Photography recently. Filmed on site at the family’s beautiful home, there was a lot of laughing and love all afternoon.

Follow Wild Child Photography to see the finished photos in all their heart-melting glory when they’re ready. And if you’ve got an event coming up that you want filmed then get in touch and let’s make it happen!

Need a PD? Or videographer? Got some social content that needs filming? You never know where you’ll end up when you make programmes and content for a living but it’s always fun. And it’s extra special when you get to work with legends like these! I’ve got some availability over the next few weeks so drop me a message if you need something filmed and want it to be awesome.

Your iPhone can do so much more than you think… here’s another simple tip you’ll actually use!

Hidden iPhone features no.5 – Stop Sending Blurry Photos on WhatsApp

Did you know WhatsApp can send your photos in HD? If you don’t switch this on, your pictures are often compressed before they’re sent.

Here’s how to fix it:

1. Select the photo you want to send in WhatsApp
2. Tap the HD button on the top right of the photo screen
3. Tap Send and enjoy sending a much sharper image!

It’s a tiny change that makes a huge difference, especially if you’re sharing family photos, holiday snaps or pictures for work.

Save this so you don’t forget it, and send it to that one friend or family member who always complains that WhatsApp ruins their photos! 😂

iPhone Tip no.4 – Size Matters So Fill the Screen!

Ever wondered why your photos don’t fill the whole screen on FB, Instagram or TikTok? Chances are you’re using the wrong aspect ratio.

Here’s how to fix it:

1. Open your Camera app
2. Tap the row of dots in the top right corner
3. Tap the Aspect Ratio button in the bottom right corner
4. Select 16:9
5. Now your photos will make much better use of the screen, giving your content a more polished look

It’s a tiny change that can make a big difference, especially if you love sharing photos and videos online or with friends and family.

Save this so you don’t forget it, and send it to that friend who’s always posting videos with black bars or cropped-off footage! 😂

iPhone tip no.2 - focus

Don’t let your phone decide what’s in focus. Here’s how to take back control.

This is a simple one once you know what you’re doing.

1. Before you take a photo or video just tap the screen on the main subject.

2. You’ll see a yellow box come up. This tells you it’s worked and whatever you tapped should now be the subject of your photo or video. (Which means it’s in focus.)

3. Done! Do this every time and whatever’s important will always be in focus.
