As a photography educator, there's nothing more rewarding than watching those "light bulb" moments during workshops. But as much as I love those moments, one thing I’ve always struggled with is the short, one-to-two-day workshop format. Think about it—imagine trying to grasp cursive writing in a single day, or learning the Pythagorean Theorem in one week. It’s just not enough time to fully learn and retain new concepts.

That’s where my Go-At-Your-Own-Pace Family Photography Bootcamp comes in. It’s a comprehensive two-month course that lets you dive deep into the core fundamentals of family photography, without the pressure to keep up with a set schedule.

After my first Family Bootcamp launched in May 2024, I saw just how impactful this kind of structured, self-paced approach could be. Students got to work through specific lighting, posing, and styling challenges, and I gave personalized feedback that set them up for success over the course of the program. It was a game changer, and I can’t wait for you to experience the same transformation.

The Go-At-Your-Own-Pace format gives you flexibility without compromising quality.

 

You’ll work through weekly videos, complete with real-world demonstrations (both indoor and outdoor lighting), plus a workbook and quizzes to keep you on track. You’ll also have access to a private community of past students, where I’ll be available for support and feedback along the way.

We start with one of the most important topics—lighting your subjects, and how to choose the perfect location. From there, you’ll learn how to guide families through posing with ease, adapt to different ages and stages, and finish with editing tips that make your photos shine.

This course is $499 and includes everything you need for your self-paced journey: weekly lessons, downloadable workbooks, quizzes, and more. Plus, if you prefer a more hands-on experience, you can add 1:1 mentoring calls to personalize your learning even further.

I’m really excited for you to dive into this course at your own pace. Once you’ve got these fundamentals down, you’ll feel a whole lot more confident stepping into family sessions, knowing you’ve got the tools to make it all come together.
