Moms With Cameras Workshop

I’m often asked questions by other moms about their DSLR cameras and how to use them. While I would love to answer each question they ask, I simply don’t have the time during my normal work day. So I thought I’d schedule and host a workshop for moms that have that nice DSLR camera and leave it on Auto (YIKES) or the Mom who wants that nice camera to get those precious shots of your kids!

Chances are you bought your DSLR camera thinking it would dramatically improve your images just because it cost a pretty penny. You probably got frustrated reading the manual and just resorted to using the automatic setting, right?

Well, this workshop is for you! It’s time to get yourself relaxed with that big clunk of metal and take the photos you have always wanted of your babies and children. Get your money’s worth from spending so much on that camera and use it to its full potential! Those gorgeous straight out of camera shots are right at your finger tips, I promise!!

There are only 10 attendee spots available to get together and help you nail those perfect shots with your own children. I will teach you how to use your camera on other settings besides Auto! We will go over Manual and Aperture Priority settings, composition, focal points, shutter speed, and what to look for in order to nail that picture right from your camera (no editing needed) and make it an art piece.



When: 2-day workshop, Friday, July 13th 6-8:30pm & Saturday, July 14th 9am -1pm

Where: TBA - Montgomery/Washington Area

What: Moms with Cameras workshop

How much: $175 - includes workshop, lunch, snacks, info packet for you to take home of all my secrets on where I purchase my items

Payment: Full Payment is due at the booking your spot! First come first served, only 10 spots available!  I accept major credit cards via paypal or over the phone.  Cash or money orders in person and local checks (must be cleared by bank).

What you will learn:

*How to properly use your camera in a manual setting.

Things you will NOT learn:

This is not a business workshop. We will not be discussing how to start a business.

We won’t go over advanced editing techniques with Photoshop.

It is important to get it right in the camera first. We will not discuss flash, strobe, or backdrop setups.

It is not overwhelming. There is SO much info out there, and many workshops cover 100 different things to learn in half a day’s time. By first learning the basics, you can then move on to more advanced techniques.

Simply Beautiful

As photographers, we long for those photos that as soon as you click the shutter button....you know you got the shot! This was it for me during this session. One of my favorite photos I've ever taken! Simply beautiful!  I got to capture mom with her daughters towards the end of our session, just having fun....you can just hear the giggles can't you??
