Dream.
Big… I mean REALLY big.
Without a dream or a vision we often loose sight of the big picture…or even the smaller one.
Learn.
Something new.
Each time we create before consuming we allow ourselves the opportunity to learn something new.
Grow.
In all facets of life.
And with the little heirloom moments caught by you or a professional you will learn to grow while cherishing those small moments otherwise forgotten in a fast sea of moving life.
Class Notes
Community Guidelines
Hate Speech
Simply put this will not be tolerated. Community is extremely important to me in both my business and personal life, everyone is welcome and everyone will have an opportunity to learn freely with no discriminations.
Plus, we prefer a more Love Language kind of approach.
Be your authentic SELF.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe just not your idea… ? I understand that being online you can take any shape and persona you so choose, but we want to know YOU.
The challenges you are facing with your camera, impersonating others through plagiarism of any sort will not be tolerated.
Leave the drama at Sign In
There is a time and a place for everything but our site is no place to talk about politics, religion, Nikon vs Canon, or any other hot seated topics.
Grab a Drink, Grab a Notebook, Grab a Seat
The fun will start shortly, and although you may be itching to get on the Workshop but there are a few things you will need before starting. Like making sure your contract has been signed, you’ve filled out the questionnaire, and your invoice has been paid. You will not be allowed into the workshop if items are not complete.
What you need:
DSLR Camera
Notebook - online or physical (recommended)
Camera Manual ( recommended)
Pen/ Pencil
Scissors
- Optional
Beverage of Choice.
Hydration is always key but a cocktail/mocktail never hurt anyone. (Please consume responsibly if you become a nuisance you will be dismissed)Cardboard/Construction paper - if you can’t find any a toilet paper roll or paper towel roll will work.
