Content Content Content!

Speaker: Kiamarie Lambert (Website) (Social Media)

Hands-On   

Intermediate, Advanced   

You sat in the classes, you heard you need to post more, but what are you going to shoot and share? Well I got you! Come to my class with an empty memory card ready to fill it with some gorgeous images! I will style 5 wedding couples for you with bouquets and more and we will shoot for the Gram together! I will lightly chat about white balance, Kelvin, my preferred F-stop, ISO setting, lens choice, how I use available natural light and the shutter speeds I use while I am shooting. I also want you to bring that fixed lens to my class you never use and leave your kit lens or even that reliable 24-70 in your hotel room. There is a reason why so many successful photographers and especially wedding photographers have such a high booking rate and your work can get there too but you need content and I am going to give it to you!

Stop Scrolling & Start Earning – Let’s Make Money From Our Social Media!

Speaker: Kiamarie Lambert (Website) (Social Media)

Lecture   

Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced   

We all know that word of mouth will always be our number one marketing tool, but social media such as Instagram, Facebook, Reels and even your website need to be in order if you are going to start attracting new clients with little to no marketing expenses. Join me as I chat about what I have found most of my potential clients are looking for, what grabs their attention as soon as they discover my online accounts and what you should be doing to gain a bigger audience that converts to paid bookings. Not only will you get your online presence in order right after my class (or maybe even during like others have done in the past) you will feel confident in your content and understand what you need to do on a daily basis to start profiting more immediately!

You can still bring your camera to these courses and you can photograph, but the goal of the course is NOT for you to shoot or to ensure you get a shot.
