Course details

This course is for all moms or moms-to-be who want to learn to use their DSLR cameras to take photos in manual instead of automatic.

Shooting in manual mode you will give you more control over your images, resulting in more professional looking photos of your kids.

In this course we will:

  • Check out some basic go-to photography gear
  • Explore some functions and camera settings
  • Learn ISO, shutter speed and aperture
  • Understand metering
  • Learn manual mode
  • Talk about some composition rules & show examples
  • Learn a few basic tips you can use when photographing your kids

I will be showing examples from my professional cameras and lenses. You do not necessarily need a DSLR camera. Any camera that has the ability to adjust settings in manual mode will work for this course.

What you get:

  • 12 lectures
  • 4 quizes
  • Notes for each section (downloadable .dpf)
  • Quick reference guide for Exposure (downloadable .pdf)
  • Access to private fb group where you can post images and ask questions

As a mom I know how it is to have a busy lifestyle and how easy it is to get distracted with kids. This is why I've divided this course into four sections with 12 brief lectures approx. 3 minutes each. There is a short quiz after each section. Also included are a .pdf download containing notes and a quick reference guide on exposure that you can print out and carry in your camera bag so you can refer back to it.

You've probably been snapping photographs of your little ones since they were born, or maybe you have a little one on the way and you want to make sure you know how to use your camera correctly. This course will cover the basics of digital photography and teach you how to use your camera on manual mode instead of auto. It will also cover white balance settings, file settings, program modes, composition rules, and tips for photographing your kids. You will be taking professional looking photos of your children in no time!
