Beginner Photography Workshop
Learn how to use your dSLR camera to take beautiful photos that document your days

Online or In Person Camera Workshops

Ever wondered how to find the best light for your photos?
Frustrated by an out of focus photo?
Want to know the secret to getting that blurry background in your photos?
Or maybe you're just wondering what ALL those dials and buttons are there for?
Well then my sweet friend! This beginner photography workshop is designed just for you!
I'm Jenny Starkey and I love taking photos that tell stories and while as a photographer I love getting to photograph and tell your story in photos. But I also know that the majority of your story isn't lived in front of my camera. Let me help you develop the skills you need to photograph your everyday story!
It's the perfect class to take especially when you are balancing work and family. I definitely comprehended more learning this way compared to trying to learn everything in one day. I loved that the information was spread out over 4 lessons and there was plenty of time to review the information and practice.
