Classes

Step into class where you’ll photograph cinematic looks in real time. In this hands-on lighting lab, you’ll rotate through four unique setups—from moody constant light to bold colors. You will learn how to layer light, control shadows, and create drama straight out of camera.

This is a hands-on class—bring a camera and a lens with a wide aperture (f/1.2–f/2.8 recommended) so you can shoot each setup yourself. You’ll leave with:

• The exact lighting recipes for 4 cinematic looks.
• Tips for working fast and keeping seniors engaged.
• A set of killer portfolio images to showcase your new skills
• Confidence to recreate these looks in your own sessions

Whether you’re brand new to off-camera lighting or already experimenting with drama and color, you’ll walk away with portfolio shots that will impress Gen Z seniors and the confidence to recreate them with your own clients.

In this hands-on Photoshop lab, you’ll learn fast, repeatable edits that turn routine outdoor images into something creative.

• Spice up your images with special effects

This is a hands-on class. Bring:

• A recent version of Photoshop installed
• A working USB/SD card port so you can add the sample images we’ll use in class

If you’ve ever frozen mid-session or run out of posing ideas, this class is your posing reset button. I’ll show you my go-to “posing cheat codes”—simple memory devices that keep the flow going so you never blank again. We’ll dive into how to capture the candid, carefree energy Gen Z craves while still creating polished, professional images. And you’ll learn how small tweaks with my “Heads, Shoulders, Knees & Toes” method can take any pose from good to great.

You’ll learn how to:
• Use quick memory tricks (posing cheat codes) to confidently guide clients through an entire session without freezing.
• Pose Gen Z seniors in ways that feel natural, and fun
• Fine-tune every shot with subtle adjustments that elevate the final image.
• Watch it all come to life with live demos so you know exactly how to implement it in your next shoot.
