Online Beginner Class for Camera & Photography Basics

BluePrint Promo-Sign up

Are you a mom or dad with a DSLR camera, and wanting to learn how to take better pictures with it? Or maybe anyone who bought a DSLR camera and have been meaning to read that manual? I get asked questions all the time about DSLR cameras and which people should buy, or how to do this and how they can make pictures look like that. After a busy year last year I have decided to put together an online class that newbies and beginners can benefit from. This class will cover the topics and break them down in a simple way to understand your camera and how to use it. There will be assignments, Q&A throughout, optional critiquing, tutorials and lessons. If you are looking for information and also a push to do something creative, then this class would be a great fit.

Some things we’d cover:

-Triangle of exposure: Aperture settings, Shutter Speed settings, ISO settings (what they mean, and how they work, and when you’d need to use them).

-Lighting, how to find the good stuff and recognizing it.

-Other camera technical terms and tools.

-Editing. How to take an image from your camera and apply just a few simple adjustments to make it go from bland to beautiful.

-Properly uploading, resizing and sharping your images for the internet and for creating prints.

There will be a lot of great information covered over the 4 weeks. Assignments are always optional. However if you participate in them, you will push yourself and grow from the experience.

Learning will take place in a private online forum. Each week there will be an lesson and assignment, plus Q&A. At the end of the 4 weeks, you can submit images for critique if you’d like.

Registration will open soon, the class dates haven’t been announced just yet. If you are interested in signing up for this class or hearing more about the details, pricing and dates, sign up for the class newsletter here: NEWSLETTER DETAILS

Fall Senior Portraits

Fall is probably my most favorite season of the year! Now that it is just around the corner, its time to put away those summery clothes and pull on those cozy sweaters. When choosing what to wear for your senior portraits, its important that you layer clothing and accessories. It adds texture and dimension to your pictures. There is so much possibility with textures and colors. Pinterest & Polyvore are both great sources to finding clothing ideas for your pictures. As always, I send suggestions but if you do a bit of searching on your own, you can find some great examples of outfit layouts. Clothing can really make a picture stand out from the rest. Instead of wearing a plain and simple shirt, dress it up with a scarf earrings and some tall boots. If you have any questions about what to wear or would like more ideas for your senior session, feel free to contact me!

Dana - So True. Hope you are doing well, Jessica! I am using your Senior program as a guide to my Senior business :) I am looking into using Issuu as a way to provide Seniors the info. that they need for a photo shoot. It looks a a fun modern eye-catching way to present information instead of sending a packet. Let me know what you think :)
Have a great day!

-Best wishes
Dana
