DSLR Boss Class
Upon entering parenthoo, many families decide to take the plunge and purchase a nice DSLR camera, with high hopes of having better pictures to show for it, and then it somehow disappoints a bit. You realize that a good camera doesn't automatically lead to great pictures (shoot!). Truth is, you have to learn how a camera works, what exposure is and how you achieve it, how to compose an artful image, how to meter and focus, etc. etc. If you don't know how to do those things, the "Auto" setting is all that remains available to you, but "Auto" -- though smart in certain ways -- is not ever going to be a great photographer.
Because of this, I’d like to spend a chunk of time equipping mamas and papas like YOU to learn how to use the fantastic camera you've invested in, empowering you to take shots of your families and personal lives in a way that you can feel really good about.
In this NEW, 3-hour, hands-on class, you’ll get all the basics down, getting familiar with this complex machine called a DSLR.
Here's what you can expect:
light refreshments
explanation of the difference between auto and manual modes (and why it matters)
new-found understanding of and mastery over the exposure triangle
clarity on the ins and out of focus, white balance, and other techie things
familiarity with finding and using all the important settings in your camera menus
example images throughout to illustrate each setting
Q&A
hands on practice of your newfound skills
optional casual constructive criticism via FB group after class
Because I want to keep this highly personal and want to give each participant the attention he/she deserves, space is limited to 6.
Note: You must own and bring a DSLR camera and at least one lens in order to participate in this workshop.

Read what other's have said about my other course of similar content (Light & Life):
“Even after having my DSLR for 6 years, and trying to self-teach myself how to use it for all it’s worth, it intimidated me, and so sat in a drawer. I now feel like I control my camera, and even better, know how to use it in a way that can tell the story of my life. I can take beautiful photos that I am not embarrassed to hang on my walls. I’m so thankful to Brooke for so generously sharing her knowledge and eye for beauty to empower other women to do the same.”
““Brooke’s workshop was exactly what I needed to give me the courage to get my camera back out and start capturing the life around me! I had felt intimidated before; not knowing how to capture the lighting. Now I have the confidence to start shooting! I’m so excited to use the information she gave us and start documenting my kids lives!””
““I’ve had my DSLR for years and I’d joked that it was smarter than me. I was intimidated by anything other than “auto” mode, but Brooke showed us how to take advantage of the manual settings so now I can use my camera to take the kind of photos I’ve always wished I could. I learned so much in one day and feel empowered to better capture the beautiful everyday moments and stories around me!””
““Thank you, Brooke, for combining your gift of hospitality with your passion and knowledge for photography into an, educational, practical, and inspiring class. It was a delight to attend!””
