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
