MAYBE YOU'RE
a bit like me.
I was scared of my camera. I knew it could do a lot, but somehow I just couldn't get off the "auto" setting. I was constantly frustrated with the photos I was taking. Signing up for a photography course was the best thing I ever did. Learning to use my camera changed the way I saw the world.

PHOTOGRAPHER, COACH TEACHER
&
Photography has been such a blessing in my life and I want to share that blessing with you. I will be a positive, uplifting force in your life, teaching and encouraging you to expand your creativity and get out there and shoot!
I've been a photographer since 2012, and I've been a teacher off and on over the years, teaching everything from middle school to university. I love it all! I am also a certified life coach.
Capture moments
authentically
Have you ever felt frustrated that the photos you take don't really capture the essence of the moment, or the true personality of the people? I'll teach you how to look for and create opportunities to capture the kinds of photos that are full of joy and authenticity, that tell visual stories, and freeze moments in time. Children grow and loved ones pass on. It's such a gift to know how to photograph them authentically. I'll teach you how to use your camera as a natural extension of the moment, instead of it becoming something that gets in the way of living life and laughing with your loved ones.

This short course will prepare you for an upcoming trip, from what to take, to how to use your camera or phone to get the best possible images and enhance your experience along the way.

This course can either by done in 10-15 minutes a day for five days (a series of emails sent out daily will keep you on track), or it can be completed through the instant-access feature of the course in just over one hour. Get ready for your upcoming travel!
