When do you offer classes? Where are they held?

I typically offer Momtography DSLR Camera Basics every other month on either Saturday or Sunday afternoons. These classes have been held throughout Orange County and I always have my eye out for a good venue. In regards to class dates, I love to work with my students on scheduling dates that work for them! So feel free to send me a message in the Contact section.

I don’t have a ‘fancy’ DSLR camera – is this class for me?

Since we discuss technical settings such as shutter speed and aperture, you will need either a DSLR or mirrorless camera to get the most out of this class.

PHONE PHOTO BASICS

What kind of phone will this class cover? If I don’t have the same kind as you, can I still come?

This class is being pulled together and planned with the iPhone in mind which is what I use. It’s been my go-to device for four years now and it’s the one I know the best. All the technical tips, tricks, and apps that will be shared will be iPhone based. If you are using something else though, I don’t want to discourage you from attending! You can and will get value from the class too. It might just take a bit more research on your part to find the compatible tips, tricks and app resources that will work the best for you and your device.
