So you want to take a picture do ya? Well I do too.. so why dont we do it together?! Whatcha say?
I dont know half there is to know about photography, I am just a Momma that started a business and asked questions and had amazing photogs to help me learn my way around! Photography is just like clothing, there are tons of fads and you have to keep up with the jones to keep going in this field, so I am continuously learning now and growing to learn more and more… so it dosnt stop. But what I do know are the basic fundamentals that I was taught by photogs on how to use my camera.
If you dont know me then you wouldnt know that I grew up around a camera. My mother still makes us stand by the same tree in her front yard to take the same photograph that we have for years. I also worked in highschool at a photography lab which didnt give me too much experience but I did learn the concept and lanugae of photography. To this day you can go to my mothers house and find my shoe box of photographs that I have had developed over the years of me growing up. I seem to have always had some sort of camera on me. I started out years ago with film, then my first slr digital was a Pentax (which is still fab) but I have a wonderful mother who loves photography as much as I do and I was able to enherit her lenses once she switched to canon. I then Began learning more and more about photography.. more than just shooting on green. I would study several photographers blogs and take classes and honestly ask questions if I didnt understand and they would guide me in a way that I woudlnt just get an answer, I was intriqued enough for them to give me just enough so I would have to figure the rest out myself. I am in no way a professional.. no way a know everything about photography. I am Just katie with a camera who understands how eye opening it is to learn the fundamentals of shooting in raw and shooting in manual.
So that being said, Id like to offer a class for the mommas out there (daddys too) who want to learn how to use the slr camera to take photos of their children and even those starting out in photography. Very basic simple things that will help you understand your manual and also understand what ISO, Shutter and apperture means. Two years ago I didnt understand much of any of this.. now its like second nature.. no more throwing your camera down because your photos are under exposed whne you really dont understand what under exposed means. Also if you know me, I ams uper ADD so things will be dummy proof. Simple, and easy to understand. I seem to make things more easily understand in katie language(totally makes sense if you know me).
I will have invidual classes and a group class. Classes are 40.00 for group and 60.00 for individual. Group classes will be offered one Sunday afternoon a month. Each Sunday class will involve the same material so new folks can get in but after the first class you are welcome to have an individual session to go over any problems or questions you are having. Each Sunday Class will include the material outline, 2 hours, 1 hour of info and the other time devoted to trying it out!
This is new for me, I love people, I love photography, I love explaining it.. so why not?
