INSTRUCTOR

OVER 10+ YEARS AND SHOOTING OVER 500+ FAMILIES I’VE EVOLVED TO FEEL COMFORTABLE SHOOTING IN A VARIETY OF LIGHTING, SETTINGS, AND SITUATIONS THAT WOULD HAVE HAD ME RUNNING IN MY FIRST YEARS OF PHOTOGRAPHY. THIS HAS BEEN MONUMENTAL IN MY PROGRESSION AS A PHOTOGRAPHER.

I’M READY TO SHARE WHAT I’VE LEARNED TO HELP YOU EMBRACE THE IMPERFECTIONS, BREAK THE RULES AND USE WHAT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU TO AUTHENTICALLY DOCUMENT A FAMILY’S STORY.

What’s included?

No stone unturned. All my thought processes, settings, and creative techniques during a family session.

  • With to-the point descriptions, editing videos, gallery reviews, behind the scenes, and practical knowledge for your family sessions you can use immediately.

  • Come with me on a field session (family of 3) with and an in-home session (family of 5) Nothing perfectly curated - real life sessions and how I use whatever light, location and connection is given to me to create a story for the families.

  • Break out of your mold and start seeing your sessions differently. and Create well rounded and creative stories through various light, settings, and perspectives.

  • Using your new found perspectives to have a base list for all your sessions but embracing that each family and session is different by collaboration, creating a laid back environment, encouraging play and open communication.

  • Instant access to entire course to go through at your own pace. Take notes, review, and I’m only an e-mail or DM away for additional questions.
