master your camera

$299

Take control of your camera, get creative in different lighting conditions and photograph with intention and meaning. And learn it all in a casual setting without the complicated tech jargon!

My greatest passion is to capture my family’s everyday life at home and on adventures, and to tell our family story through images that are meaningful to us and to our family and friends. I create images that make us smile, laugh, feel loved and connected. And I can help you do the same for your family.

This VIP experience is the perfect gift for your family’s historian and is suitable for any level, you just need your own camera (another perfect gift!).

  • Includes a pre-session chat and goal setting.

  • Tailored lesson, time and location to meet your specific needs.

  • 3 hours of one-on-one training.

  • Post session catch-up to answers any questions you might have or help with topics you might be stuck on.

  • Student Handbook for you to keep!

To ensure you make the most out of your VIP experience, before your session we’ll discuss where you’re currently at in your photography journey and set some goals you’d like to achieve. Then, we’ll tailor topics, time and location of your session to meet your goals, with the aim to incorporate your family if we can! We’ll catch up again a few weeks later to answer any question you might have or go over something you might be stuck on. And I’ll also prepare a cheat sheet just for you to refer to as you practice what you’ve learned.

The time of day we start your VIP experience will depend on what goals you want to achieve. For example, if you want to learn how to photograph at sunset then your session will be later in the day, or if you mostly photograph your family in the middle of the day then we’ll do the same. If taking photos in your home is your priority, then we’ll probably go for a morning session.

We’ll cover topics such as:

  • Controlling exposure

  • Creating bokeh using shallow depth of field

  • Focus settings

  • Different lighting conditions

  • My preferred settings for photographing children

  • How different techniques can give your photos more meaning

  • What makes a good black and white photo

  • RAW v JPEG files

Note: I’m a natural light photographer so I don’t teach using lighting accessories, but I’ll help you understand challenging light indoors and outdoors in the middle of the day and sunset.

lightroom editing

$199

Edit like a professional. Learn all the tricks to give your images that wow factor.

You can edit like me, and I can show you how!

I’ve spent years perfecting my editing style and learning all the ins and outs of Lightroom, and I’d love to share what I know with you.

This VIP experience is suitable for hobbyists (including family historians) or want-to-be professionals ready to turn their hobby into a business. You’ll need to be photographing in RAW (that’s the file type Lightroom uses), so if you’re not sure what that means then maybe do my ‘Master Your Camera’ VIP experience first! And you’ll need the latest version of Lightroom installed on your computer or laptop.

  • Includes a pre-session chat and goal setting

  • Tailored lesson to meet your specific needs

  • 2 hours of one-on-one training at my Ocean Grove studio

  • Student Handbook for you to keep!

To ensure you make the most out of your VIP experience, before your session we’ll discuss what Lightroom experience you might already have and set some goals you’d like to achieve. Then, we’ll tailor the topics covered during your session to meet your goals. I’ll also prepare a cheat sheet just for you to refer to as you practice what you’ve learned.

We’ll cover topics such as:

  • Importing and exporting images (for print and socials)

  • Folder systems, including Catalogs and Collections

  • My best practices for storing and backing up your images

  • My tried and tested Workflow System

  • Developing images (and what all the controls mean)

  • The power of masks and LR’s healing tools

  • Installing and using Presets

Note: This VIP experience is for Lightroom only. Photoshop is not included. But don’t worry, Lightroom has advanced so much it does heaps of what we used to use Photoshop for, I very rarely use Photoshop for my client editing these days.
