Classes

Same light, wildly different vibes. In this live demo, we’ll rapid-fire through popular modifiers—umbrellas, softboxes, strip boxes, beauty dish, grids, snoots, gels, and more—to show how each one sculpts your subject, controls spill, and shifts mood from soft and flattering to punchy and dramatic. You’ll see feathering, falloff, and angle changes in real time, plus easy recipes you can copy for headshots, seniors, and beauty work.

No epic skyline? No problem. This class is all about transforming “meh” locations—alleys, parking lots, loading docks—into polished senior portraits using only natural light. We’ll cover fast scouting, angles that cheat the background, compression for cleanup, color pops, reflections, and texture to build depth. You’ll learn when to use the sun for backlight, when to use the sade, how to use a simple reflector or negative fill to shape a jawline, and how to direct confident poses so your senior looks like a star.

Who is ready to make money? Without feeling like a pushy salesperson? I’ll show you how to start introducing in-person sales (IPS) into your workflow. Whether you’re hopping on Zoom, meeting at your dining table, or reserving a quiet corner at the local library. We’ll cover simple programs for seamless customer handling, ways to educate your client on your services and the do’s/don’ts that keep it professional and painless. You’ll walk away with scripts, a basic IPS checklist, and confidence. It’s never to late to start building your dream career and a steady income as you move toward a truly successful business.
