It is well known that photos that have people in them tend to get more attention than photos that don't. On Instagram, you are almost guaranteed to get more engagement when you take a picture of yourself holding a bag than a picture of just the bag itself. Unless you have willing participants to model for your photos, you will probably end up having to be your own model. This can feel really awkward and frustrating. It's why some people choose to hire a photographer instead of trying to take their own portraits. However, not everyone has the budget for costly photography. So, without people to model for you, or a photographer to take your photos, how do you get beautiful photos of yourself for Instagram? 

I know a lot of mamas who, like myself, are trying to step up their Instagram feed. Since the recent changes in the Instagram algorithm went into effect, many Instagrammers have felt that engagement on their photos has declined. For busy momtrepreneurs like us who are using Instagram to gain exposure, collaboration opportunities, and business growth, that can be very discouraging.  This has left many Instagrammers trying to step up their photography to help gain back some of that engagement. 

I have been so thrilled by the response I've gotten from the my recent content on building a business and a brand. I had no idea that so many moms were so hungry for advice on how to start, grow, and nurture a mama-owned business. So, we have created this new Momtrepreneur tab here on the site to serve as a resource for all of our momtrepreneurs.
