Bring any camera (mobile or DSLR) to Mead Gardens, one of Central Florida’s most vast, tranquil green space boasting an array of flowering gardens, wildlife habitats & boardwalks. As we explore this old, authentic Florida habitat, we’ll reveal in-the-moment lighting tips, interesting compositional techniques, and how to anticipate photo opportunities based on movement, perspective, and depth of field.
"There are lots of instructional books out there; however, some things are better learned hands-on. I believe photography is one of those things! Danielle is an awesome instructor and I thoroughly enjoyed her Beginner’s Photography Workshop! She took us back to basics, explained all the cool features and buttons on my camera and then focused (pun intended!) on the “need to know” functions. It was a great experience. Thank you!"

"I LOVED Danielle’s DSLR Photography class! I took a private lesson since I feel like I am just about at the intermediate level in photography. It was so helpful to meet with her one-on-one. She has a great, positive attitude, and her passion for photography is contagious!
Danielle provided some great tips and explained the aperture in a way that finally made sense to me. She really knows how to break down the science of photography. She also provided a Photography Reference Guide after the class, which I take with me whenever I go on a shoot! I’m looking forward to a Lightroom class soon.
I would definitely recommend Danielle!"

"Cannot say enough positive things about Danielle and this class. I have had a digital SLR for several years and was resigned to being intimidated by it… Danielle explained the functions of the camera and its settings so well. For the first time, I FINALLY am getting what it means to take the camera off “auto” and why and how to do that. We then took what she taught us and practiced with it outside — the only way to see if I was “getting it”. Worth every penny and then some."
