Hey there!
I’m delighted you’re interested in learning more about my course,
The Authentic Childhood: Capturing the Moments that Matter
Here are the deets.
This class is 100% online, and you can watch each day’s video at any point in the day. Which means you’ll have complete flexibility each day to learn when you have the time.
(if you’re interested in the story of what lead me to creating this course, click here.)
What does this class cover?
In this class, we’ll dive deep into:
-Learning to shoot on manual mode
-Editing photos in Lightroom
-Getting your kids to cooperate
-How to direct and pose your kids, in a way that looks “unposed”
-How to harness the light around you to create stunning images every time
What can I expect each day?
The class is a 2 week course, and it’s 100% online.
Each day, you’ll be provided with a video. That video will cover the day’s topic. You’ll then have the chance to use those skills you learned in the video to take a photo. You’ll post the photo as a comment under that day’s video in the class’s private Facebook page. I’ll then give you some feedback on how you could improve.
And that’s all you’re committing to do!
I know you’re busy, so I tried to make this class as streamlined as possible. My goal was to provide all the needed information and guidance, in as little time as I could. I know that if you have to be sitting at the computer all day (or let’s be real, even for a half hour) you’re not likely to get through the course.
So watch the video when you have a second. Waiting to pick up carpool, while you’re cleaning your kitchen, at the park, etc. And then when you have a minute during the day, take your photo to cement those new skills!
For the first time EVER, watch the first course video BEFORE you buy! Right here!
What do I get when I sign up?
Once you sign up, you’ll get access to my private Facebook group. This is where the daily videos will be shared, and also a safe place where you can ask me and your classmates for help and advice.
You’ll also receive
-Lifetime access to all the course videos
-A digital workbook, packed full of all the information and tips you need
-Several “cheat sheets” that you can download to your phone, and pull out any time you need them
-Unlimited access to me–I’m available to answering any of your questions
-Bonus “start to finish” videos. Watch me as I set up, direct, and capture a shot. Then watch and listen to the step by step as I edit the photo.
What do I need to take the class?
You’ll need to have a DSLR to take this course. If you don’t have one, borrow one from your mom, or a friend. You can even rent them from several local camera shops. If you’d like more info, get in touch with me.
Unfortunately, for this class, a cell phone isn’t going to cut it. I’m hoping to release a phone class soon, so stay tuned.
You’ll also need to invest in Lightroom. (Adobe has a monthly $10 subscription, so try it out this month, and if you don’t love it you can totally cancel it.)
That’s it!
How do I know if this class is right for me?
This class starts with the very basics. How to use your camera in manual mode. So if you didn’t even know that was a thing, you’re a perfect candidate for this class!
But we only spend the first 2 days on that. So if you already know how to use your camera, you can still benefit a lot from this class! I go in depth on how to use Lightroom. And I also spend a ton of time teaching and demonstrating how to get your kids to cooperate and how to set up shots to capture your child naturally–all while still maintaining a frame that’s aesthetically pleasing, beautifully lit, and that tells a story.
So, if you think you could benefit from any of these skills, I’d say this class is for you. I’ve previously had students who were pretty advanced photographers, and we were able to customize their lessons a little bit to provide them with plenty of value!
Do you have any other questions?
Feel free to message me!
XOXO,
