We're so excited to announce that A Beautiful Mess Photo Idea Book is now available for pre-order at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and IndieBound. The release date is August 13th. We're so incredibly excited to share this book with you!
This book is full of tips, challenges and inspiration for photographing everyday life. It's everything we would have put into an e-course and so much more. We cover basic tips for beginners but most of the content is focused on encouraging readers to try stuff, to step outside of whatever comfort zone you may have and fall in love with photography in a fresh way!
Our first copies came in the mail last week! In the coming weeks we will share peeks from the book, details about the writing process, chances to win copies and some fun photography challenges that you can join!
Let us know if you have any questions. xoxo. Elsie + Emma

This is amazing! I am just starting to pursue photography and this couldn’t have come at a better time. I was doing a photography class assignment today and I was disillusioned because I was lost (depth of field, iso, aperture stuff). It’s all so complicated! I would love to get this book to inspire me to keep going because I truly love it. Thank you for giving this to the world! I can’t wait to go through it and learn more. It comes at a time when I really need it.
yay! can’t wait! 😀

Oh girls, thats perfect.
I was just thinking the other day I could do with some tips and tricks how to make more out of my camera. I got a fairly decent one for my birthday last year and I do ok with taking pictures when I have a lot of time to set everything up, but I struggle with capturing everyday moments. They just pass so quickly 😉
Very excited about the book.
Have a lovely week!
Nadine

One of my close friends is a massive fan of yours, it was her birthday yesterday.
Is there anyway of purchasing a personal signed copy of your book? It will make her day, week, month…
