The Camera Course

We love an in person class! 😍

Well done to these photographers for taking the time to learn something new! 🥳

A massive congratulations to these three photographers for completing The Camera Course Beginning & Intermediate workshops! There were some great lightbulb moments as they started taking control of their cameras, composing beautiful shots, and playing with light. By the end of the day, all three were shooting in manual mode and I was so proud. Well done, ladies!

And a special shout out to Mother Earth for providing such a great venue to host this workshop. I'm already looking forward to the next one!

Well, HELLO!

I'm Alli, the self taught half of this account. I picked up a camera about 10 years ago and started Googling, Youtubing, and Pinteresting. I took notes on everything I found and filled a notebook with terms I barely understood.

It was a long hard road to opening my business and I knew there had to be a better way.

Luckily I made a forever friend in Tove Hansen Photography and we were both crazy enough to take a chance on each other. Three years later and she's one of my best friends, who continues to blow me away with her genius brain. (And she took this gorgeous photo of me! 😉)

Here's the best part...this isn't an exclusive club. We want to share everything we know with you. Truly. No secrets. We want to cheer you on as you take stunning photos, whether it's your first time turning on your camera, booking your first client, or upleveling your already successful business.

We'd love to hear more about why you're here! Give us a shout in the comments so others can follow your page, or send us a DM to share your story with us. 💛

Have you ever googled this? We sure have! 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️

We were so excited after buying our first cameras and dreamt of taking amazing pictures. 📷

But when we flipped that switch to "on" and took our first snap, we realized the photos didn't look that much different than the ones we took on our phone. 😏

We were often fighting with blurry photos, trying complicated settings, and navigating terrible lighting, among many other troubles. 😩

Every Google search just led to more questions and feelings of confusion. We just wanted someone to give us a simple answer on how to fix this. It took years of going down YouTube rabbit holes and scanning Pinterest to finally get a solid understanding of what we needed to do. 😕

We knew there had to be a better way and that’s how The Camera Course Essentials was born! This course is a step by step workshop designed to help you take clear, beautifully composed photos. 🙌🏽

🥳 Registration is officially open TODAY! So if you’re tired of playing the Google lottery and hoping to find easy answers, we’d love to help!

“Is it so second nature to you gals that it’s just all in your head as you photograph?”

One of our workshop participants asked us this question and we thought it was brilliant. We’ve both been making photographs for nearly a decade now so a lot of it does happen on autopilot. But we didn’t start out that way! Just check out this recent image versus when we first started.

As beginners, we were thinking through every.single.decision and often making a lot of mistakes. And that’s okay! It’s the BEST way to learn, in our opinion.

We’re sharing some of the things we’ve learned over the years in this week’s free lesson (head to the link). Do you see a big difference in your photos from when you first started compared to now? Celebrate that growth! 🌟
