THE FULL COURSE BREAKDOWN

The Exposure Triangle

Understanding manual mode doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. We’ll break down the three key settings—aperture, shutter speed, and ISO—so you can take full control of your camera and nail perfect exposure every time.

✅ Aperture (F-Stop) – How it affects brightness, depth of field, and the dreamy background blur (aka bokeh).
✅ Shutter Speed – How to freeze motion or create intentional blur and why it matters for crisp, clear images.
✅ ISO – The secret to brightening your image without adding too much grain (and when to break the “low ISO” rule).
✅ Balancing the Triangle – How these settings work together and when to adjust each one.

Lighting

Great lighting is the key to stunning images. We’ll teach you how to find, use, and manipulate natural light—so you can create beautifully lit photos, no matter the setting.

✅ Golden Hour Magic – How to capture that dreamy, glowy light at sunset for soft, flattering portraits.
✅ Open Shade Secrets – The easiest way to get consistent, even lighting—without harsh shadows or squinting.
✅ Indoor Window Light – How to use natural light indoors for a bright, airy look (even in small or dark spaces).
✅ Backlighting & Directional Light – When to shoot with the sun behind, in front, or to the side for different effects.

White Balance

Sick of your photos looking too yellow, too blue, or just…off? White balance controls the color temperature of your images, and we’ll show you how to get it right in-camera.

✅ What Is White Balance? – Why it matters and how it affects skin tones, colors, and overall image quality.
✅ Setting It In-Camera – How to manually adjust your white balance (so you’re not stuck fixing every photo in editing).
✅ Kelvin Scale Explained – What temperature to use for different lighting conditions (so your whites actually look white).
✅ Artistic vs. Correct White Balance – When to follow the rules and when to break them for creative effect.

Lens Choice

Your lens matters just as much as your camera. We’ll help you choose the right focal length to get the look you want—without distortion or missed focus.

✅ Prime vs. Zoom Lenses – Which one is better for portraits (and why we love primes for dreamy background blur).
✅ Focal Length & Compression – How different lenses change the way your subjects and backgrounds appear.
✅ Avoiding Distortion – Why some lenses make faces look weird (and how to avoid unflattering angles).
✅ The Best Lenses for Beginners – Affordable options that give you professional-quality results.

Colors in Your Images

A photo’s colors can make or break the final look. We’ll teach you how to create cohesive, polished images by paying attention to clothing, backgrounds, and lighting.

✅ The Role of Color in Photography – Why some images feel harmonious while others feel chaotic.
✅ Choosing the Right Clothing Colors – How wardrobe choices affect the overall mood of an image.
✅ Background & Location Colors – How to use (or avoid) certain backdrops to get the aesthetic you want.
✅ Editing for Consistency – Simple tweaks to enhance colors without making them look unnatural.

Location Choice

Where you shoot matters just as much as how you shoot. We’ll help you find the best locations for portraits—whether you’re in a studio, at home, or outdoors.

✅ Indoor vs. Outdoor Shooting – How to make the most of any space, from bright studios to cozy homes.
✅ Time of Day Considerations – Why the same location can look completely different in morning vs. evening light.

I would not be here without you and everything you teach! When I started my business almost 5 years ago I could hardly imagine a scenario where I would be charging $350 for a session much less $2000. Yet here we are!
