Basic Photography Class - Learn to take your DSLR off auto!

So you have this fancy new DSLR camera...is it still on auto mode? Are you frustrated you are missing the moments because you do not know how to work all the buttons on your fancy camera? Are you struggling to take amazing pictures of your products to showcase on your blog, Facebook and Etsy sites? 

In the Sweet Shots: Beginner Photography Class for Parents, you’ll walk through every feature, setting, and real-life strategy that no camera-owning parent or business owner should be without.  You will leave the class with a firm understanding of your camera and how to take your camera’s settings off automatic.

In this class you can expect to become comfortable with the following concepts:

• Fundamental DSLR elements
• How to take your camera off auto and towards 100% manual
• Capturing the twinkle in your child’s eyes
• Exposure, aperture, & shutter speed settings
• How to make the background blurry
• Tack-sharp focus
• How to capture your child in motion during a sporting event
• Essential lenses
• Essential lighting tips for shooting indoors and outdoors
• How to capture natural light at different times of the day
• Compositional strategies for exceptional images

Is this class for me?

• You have a DSLR or mirrorless camera (Canon, Nikon, Sony, etc.) that you don't know how to use.
• You are a parent who wants to take better pictures of your family.
• You are a blogger who wants to improve the quality of the photos you post.
• You want better product pictures for your Etsy shop, Facebook page or business.

Who is this class NOT for?

• If you are thinking about starting your own photography business this class is not for you. I will not be discussing the business of photography. If you are looking for a mentor to learn about having a photography business, I do offer mentoring sessions. You can find more information on my website http://www.courtneylynnphoto.com/photographers
• If you already know all the bells & whistles of your camera and can consistently take properly exposed and creative photos you are probably too advanced for this class.

What is included with this class?

• Two hours of training in the comfort of our home studio.
• Hands on shooting and instruction to help you understand and strengthen your skills.
• Real life scenarios to help practice your new skills.
• Only 1 student per class to ensure plenty of time to answer individual questions and receive feedback.
• Interactive Workbook with everything you need to continue growing and practicing at home.

New dates are added on the 15th of every month.
