This DVD is a must have! It is amazing and if you don't have your camera yet, you't want to get started right away! It is so informative and helpful is such a fun way. Brian & Me Ra are amazing. Made me laugh too! :)

Wonderful DVD--full of great information, laughs and insight! A fabulous idea for anyone wanting to take better photographs!


Author: Dori from Sacramento
These DVD's have saved me from a lifetime of missed opportunities (lost shots) by teaching with laughter, personality, and encouragement (and zero condescention!)... Save yourself $10 by buying the set though, because you will definitely want them both. Learning from Me Ra & Brian has absolutely transformed my photography skills and can make all the difference for you too. Totally a joy to watch!


Author: Harmony Jacobson
A wonderful, thoughtfully made DVD. My pictures have amazingly improved! People now ask "How did you think of that shot?" The answer: "ME RA!"


Author: Kari
This DVD will open up a whole new way to look at photography. Honestly, it is revolutionary. Me Ra takes the elements of writing and storytelling and applies them to photography in a way that just, well, makes sense. This is hands down the best money anyone can spend to shape their photography experience.

Through a mother's eyes is the most beautiful way to see a child. If you capture it on camera, you will show others what your heart feels. MeRa helps you capture that moment without the camera getting in the way. Thank you MeRa. You have given us beautiful "Mother Memories."


Author: Christie
A dream come true this DVD was! Simple, easy-to-follow, entertaining and most of all confidence building. Me Ra opened up to my eyes to the unique ways I can capture our unique family life. THANK YOU!!!

This DVD helped me get away from the "not so pretty" cheese shot - I am so glad it taught me ways to open my eyes and capture the "story" of my childrens' lives...


Author: Kimberlyn Totten
This is a fun, easy to understand and "real people" kind of DVD. It is a must for every person desiring to take better pictures. As a mom I have been blessed by what Me Ra has taught me through this insightful and inspiring series.

This is exactly what everyone who photographs children should watch. I am giving this as a gift to every new parent and grandparent I know. It's so easy to understand and really turns on that "light". I now have my camera ready at all times for those everyday moments. Beautifully presented and understandable for all levels of photographer.

This DVD reminded me why I love photography! I had gotten into the point and shoot rut and this video shook me out of my stupor. My camera is out all the time now and I'm feeling so good about it!


Author: Allison Gallagher
This DVD is fantastic! It has opened up a whole new world to me. I have gone from a "point and shoot" mindset to that of a story teller. Equally important is the supportive and down to earth manner that Me Ra has. It feels like you are getting a photography lesson from a good friend. This is a "must have" for parents who want to take really special photos of their children and document their lives. Thank you so much!!


Author: Amanda Mays
