Learn to Use Your Big Girl Camera

If you are like many of my students, you've had your DSLR (aka Your Big Girl Camera) for a while now. You thought your pictures would be amazing--but you were disappointed. The pictures were good, but not that much different than your iPhone AND the camera was WAY more complicated. You are afraid to use your big girl camera for fear of missing the money shot.

YOU HAD EVERY INTENTION OF LEARNING HOW TO USE IT!

You sat down and read the manual...holy confusing! You tried to watch YouTube but there were so many choices and options. Where to start? You just want the following:

• Your camera explained in simple, low-tech language
• To know which buttons and menu options you should care about
• To understand WHY using your big girl camera makes the pictures look different and how you can achieve it.
• To organize your photos in such a way that your computer does not become a digital wasteland and that you're able to find important photos when you need them most.
• Most importantly, you want this information in one place, easy to access, and with a real, live person at the other end ready to answer your questions.

I'VE BEEN THERE TOO!

When I bought my first SLR (before there was a "D") I never took it off of Auto. My pictures were "better" but still filled with red eye, lots of pop up flash, and bad light. I knew I wanted to do better and began investing in classes. This was back in the day when you had to show up in person and the choices were few and far between. Since then, I've taken countless classes, read book after book, and invested in many online workshops. Over the years, photography has grown from a hobby to a full blown career.

I CAN HELP YOU DO THE SAME!

Whether you want to take photos of your growing family, or you are launching your own business and need to take your own photos during the startup phase, I can help you get the most from your investment and set you up for long-term success. During this 3-week class you'll learn to:

• Organize your photos...find anything, even years from now!
• Understand Your Camera...know what all those buttons and menus mean.
• Move off of Auto and take control of your photos.
• Create that dreamy blurry background that sets a Big Girl Camera photo apart from your phone.
• Get creative with shutter speed to create movement and special effects in your photos.
• "See the scene" more artistically. You'll begin to notice details everywhere you go!
• "Read" the light...bad light=bad picture...no matter what camera you use.

MY ULTIMATE GOAL?

I want you to experience the THRILL of an amazing picture...you know, when you just NAIL it! I want you to have the CONFIDENCE that you can get those shots consistently and under any circumstance. Finally, I want to spread my PASSION on to you in the hopes that you'll want to capture your life beautifully.
