In this episode of The Art of Childhood, Courts dives into the editing side of family photography and shares seven rookie errors she's noticed over the years, including ones she's made herself.
From oversaturating colours and going too heavy on clarity and contrast, to inconsistent white balance across a set of images and the quietly annoying problem of unintentionally crooked horizons, Courtney walks through what to watch for and why it happens. She also talks about the value of presets as a starting point for developing your style, and how to rescue an awkwardly cropped limb with a bolder, more intentional crop.
The episode wraps with a gentle challenge to go back through some older photos with curious eyes, not to be critical, but to notice what you'd do differently and carry that into the next time you pick up your camera. Because some of the most powerful family photos are the ones that feel real: a little blurry, a little messy, a little human. Letting go of the idea that everything needs to be flawless before it's worth keeping is where the good stuff starts.
