Class Experience

This Intro to Photography interactive course will present tips and techniques to creatively capture life moments. Get ready to impress yourself by learning to take a better selfie, improving the look of your Instagram, understanding how to take better photos, and adding flair to your photos. I am a photographer and marketing expert, so I know how to make you and your subjects look great. No previous photography experience or knowledge is needed, just a love for creating and capturing your life.
	Class will start with quick “getting-to-know-you” icebreakers, including example photos illustrating topics we will analyze. You will be actively learning and shooting photos immediately in my class. My teaching style is “I do, you do, we do.” There will be time to try the techniques, share your work, and answer questions. Every minute of class will be hands-on and engaging, and this constant interaction will leave you with new techniques, skills and tips to try, guaranteed to improve your photography immediately.
We will cover the basics of photography, including topics such as composition, motion, focus, subject, rule of thirds, photography rules, including how to make your work look professional by breaking photography rules.
        I adore making others look good, so no matter whether you are a beginner or advanced photographer, plan to take away techniques to take your photography to the next level. I look forward to seeing your work and offering constructive feedback!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! Welcome Outschool families!

I teach all ages: photography, music, art, and more. 

Throughout high school I was a competitive flute player who learned from many top flutists in the country. After high school, I studied Music, Art, and Business at Central Michigan University where I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Organization Administration with a minor in Music. While attending CMU I received my "Mouseters Degree" in Marketing from Walt Disney World where I worked for eight months participating in the Disney College Program. The last three years I've taught K-5 online and in person. Currently, I'm pursuing my Master's Degree in Elementary Education. I love to sprinkle the world-renowned Disney Magic and love for the arts into all of my classes.

I've worked as a professional photographer the last eight years. During this time I have shot countless weddings, seniors, children, and much more. I can Photoshop anything and would love to teach you the same skills.

I always encourage students to learn by doing, so many of my classes are guided instruction. This encourages students to engage and create independently accompanied by my expertise.  Students will gain the tools to master the skill, customize their artwork reflecting their own personality, and achieve their personal goals. I have two young daughters (ages 4 and 2) so many of my lessons and projects are tested and proven to be fun, engaging, and educational. I can't wait to share the magic with you!
