Auto vs Manual — Let’s Make It Make Sense

Last week I shared a video breaking down the difference between Auto Mode and Manual Mode, and so many of you said it helped — so this carousel is your follow-up cheat sheet to actually understand what those modes are doing inside your camera.

Auto Mode is great when you just need to grab the shot.
Manual Mode is where the magic happens when you want to control the light, the mood, and the final look of your images.

If you’ve ever felt confused about when to use which one, save this post and swipe through slowly. This guide will help you stop guessing and start shooting with intention.

What a year for 1K Photography. 2025 was filled with love, laughter, milestones, weddings, birthdays, family moments & so many beautiful stories that I had the honor of capturing.
To every client, family, friend, and supporter, thank you for trusting me with your moments and allowing me behind the lens.
I’m excited, expectant, and ready for what’s ahead.. Let’s go 2026!!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays..

These details are a reminder of why events are where my heart is and where I’m moving into 2026.

Events tell stories through intention—the décor, the colors, the small details that set the tone and create the experience. Capturing those details is just as important as capturing the moments, because they hold the feeling long after the event ends.

Event storytelling is the focus.
