It has been been over 2 YEARS since I switched to the R6 and totally shifted to mirrorless!!
The amount of photographers who have switched over because of our youtube series on the R6 is mind-blowing and we get SO many questions about this camera!!
I get it, it’s a BIG shift!! It reminds me of the shift from the Canon Mark III to the Canon Mark IV! Some photographers are immediately in love while it takes others some time to get used to this new system.
So what kind of problems have people been asking about?! Here are some of the questions that I’m answering :
Are low megapixels an issue with the R6?
This has not been an issue for me! I have blown up canvases for clients and haven’t had any issues.. But if you’re making an image into a billboard, this might be something to consider!
Why are my R6 images so noisy?
I see this question in KJ Education, and it’s typically when the photographer has zoomed in to 800% to show the noise that they’re talking about! No one is blowing up an image to print it that big for a family print, and this is normal with most cameras!
Why are my RAW images SO flat?
I have heard several people say this and I wish I had the answer for you!! I have not experienced this but I want you to submit your RAW files HERE so that I can see what is different and then I’ll make another video and let you know what I’ve found!!
Biggest change when moving from 5DMKIV to R6?
Hands down- focus! My approach to focus has changed completely, no more focusing and recomposing.

Adobe has consistently pushed the boundaries of technology in the realm of photography. With the introduction of the generative AI fill feature in Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, and Lightroom Mobile, photographers have been given a powerful tool to enhance their editing process. This feature is not just a minor update; it could be a HUGE time saver for you!
I started this 3-part series after walking through an incredibly hard season with one of our sons. But there are so many things I wanted to share in hopes of helping other mommas like me that struggle to figure out what was happening!
I may be 15 years into being a wedding photographer but I still have some bucket list locations where I would love to shoot! When Sarah told me that she wanted to do her engagement session at Virginia House, I was so excited because believe it or not, I have NEVER shot here before!!
As a professional photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless family portraits over the years. Each session presents a unique set of challenges, from managing energetic children to finding the perfect backdrops.
As a photographer, I’ve often found myself in situations where the location seemed lackluster or uninspiring. It’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of the perfect setting, but the reality is that we don’t always have the luxury of shooting in the most visually stunning locations.
