IF YOU’VE EVER BEEN ON A FAMILY ADVENTURE WITH YOUR EXPENSIVE, NEW CAMERA AND THOUGHT,

“I WISH I KNEW HOW TO USE THIS THING BETTER,” KEEP READING.

After this course you will have a new found confidence with your camera. You will start producing photos that you’re proud to hang on your walls! With summer approaching, take a second to think about your favorite summer activities. I will help train your eyes to become like little shutters and make you more confident in using your DSLR, or even your camera phone, so you can quickly execute that shot to remember when in the moment.

WHAT THIS 2 HOUR WORKSHOP IS ABOUT

all things you can do without camera knowledge to improve your photos fast

» Easy to implement topics such as light, composition, seeing photo opportunities, and discovering the things you want to capture – all things you can do without camera knowledge to improve your photos fast

» Basic Gear – what’s out there, what’s affordable

» Why shoot in manual mode? Brief explanation of the exposure triangle: Shutter, Aperture, ISO

» Overcoming, ‘But my kid won’t let me take their photo!’ Taking candid photos to evoke memories and tell a story.

» Approx 30 minutes of shooting practice and Q & A

» 8-12 ladies max to allow for ample time for each individual. This class is paired best with your bestie & a good bottle of vino or mimosas. If this date doesn’t work for you, consider hosting your own workshop with me and earn your seat for free. Email hello@rachelsimpsonphotography.com to set it up.

» Fun! We’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and most importantly, you’ll walk away with a better understanding in how to photograph those everyday memories of your family.

WHAT THIS CLASS ISN’T:

» This workshop is not about the business of photography or how to start a photography business. We will not discuss professional photography vendors for print products.

» This workshop does not cover post-processing techniques. I recommend a one on one mentoring session with me for editing help.

» This workshop doesn’t not cover posing or prop/backdrop set ups. I shoot very candid, documentary story-telling images, so that is what’s taught.

TAKE HOME:

New friendships with other area mom photography enthusiasts

» Invitation to private Facebook group for Workshop Attendees for support, questions, & to post photos showing off what you’ve learned!

» BONUS MATERIAL: 3 Day Photography Challenge where I critique your images ($250 value)
