Instagram Phone Photography Guide
Transform your Instagram photos & attract an audience – using just your phone.
Instagram is the biggest reason my first business (previously Silverfire Books, now Reader Haven), was successful.
But to make it work, you’ve got to have quality photos. It is a visual platform, after all!
After years of learning techniques and trial & error, I finally figured out how to take photos that make an impression (without spending hours doing it!).
And once I did, I started getting more followers, more engagement, and more sales.
In this guide, I’m spilling all the secrets I’ve learned about Instagram photography over the years.
Taking eye-catching photos doesn’t have to be difficult. Armed with this guide, all you really need is a dash of creativity and a camera phone.
You’ll learn:
- The secret weapon successful Instagrammers use to make their feed look consistent
- How to get that bright white look in your photos (say goodbye to dark or yellow lighting)
- 100+ prop & backdrop ideas to unleash your creativity
- Tips and tricks to make your photos look professional (using only your phone!)
- How to make editing your photos a breeze
…and more!
Plus, I’m throwing in a bonus (30 days of Instagram post prompts).
It doesn’t matter what type of business you have. If you want to transform your Instagram photos and attract an audience, this guide is for you!
When I look back at some of the first photos I ever posted to my business’ Instagram account (in 2017!), I can’t help but cringe.
I took those photos before I really knew anything about (phone) photography or editing.
No, they weren’t awful, but they definitely wouldn’t have stopped my – or anyone else’s – scroll.
But I worked on getting better. I learned new strategies and tested new ideas.
And soon enough, I started to see a progression. I was getting more followers, more engagement, and more sales.
All I used was my phone, a few items from the craft store, and a free app. (No expensive camera or fancy equipment!).
Between 2017 and now, there’s a huge difference in the overall quality and appeal of my photos. Because I’ve learned a few things over the years, like:
- What to use as a quality backdrop
- How to harness natural lighting
- Where to place objects to make the image stand out
- How to instantly edit photos (it’s not as complicated as it sounds, and it makes a huge difference!)
After over 2 years of growing a successful business on Instagram (@reader.haven), I decided it was time to put everything I’ve learned about Instagram phone photography into this handy guide, so you can skip the learning curve.
If I can do this, so can you.
So grab the guide and make it easy on yourself!
Here’s what some of my lovely customers had to say about my products:
You have been such an inspiration. If I hadn’t taken your course and bought your Instagram eBook, I would still be lurking in the shadows and not taking action!

I absolutely loved your Instagram eBook! It was a quick and easy read. I definitely appreciated the real-life examples. I am a very visual person so being able to see a real example of a good profile was helpful to me.
