What is the...
If there’s one thing I absolutely love about being a photography educator, it’s witnessing those light bulb moments during workshops. But traditional workshops have a major downside: they’re crammed into just one or two days.
Think about it: would you have mastered cursive in a single day as a child? Or tackled the Pythagorean Theorem in high school on Monday only to be tested by Wednesday? Learning doesn’t work that way, and photography is no exception.
That’s why I created the Family Bootcamp—a two-month deep dive into the fundamentals of family photography. It's a focused, modern program that equips you with the skills you need to succeed.
Last year, I launched the first-ever Family Bootcamp with 35 students. They ranged from total beginners to seasoned photographers with over a decade of experience. What happened just a few weeks into the course blew me away.

weekly curriculum
The transformations were incredible. From graded assignments to weekly video office hours, from step-by-step instructional videos to personalized feedback, I saw growth in ways I’d never witnessed in 15 years of teaching in-person workshops.
Here’s what’s included in the Bootcamp:
Lighting and Location Scouting: The foundation of every great session.
Family Posing Flow: Simple, effective techniques that work for families of all sizes.
Interaction and Prompts: Tailored for kids and adults at every stage.
Editing: Bring it all together with techniques that wow your clients.
You’ll get:
Weekly videos and live demos (indoor and outdoor lighting)
Bi-weekly virtual office hours for Q&A
A digital workbook tailored to each week’s lessons
Pre-class assessments, homework, and a graded final project
A certificate of completion to show off your achievement
Enrollment is limited to ensure every student gets the attention they deserve. For $799, you’ll receive two months of transformative education designed to elevate your work just in time for the busy season.
Mark your calendars: May 2025 is when the next Family Bootcamp begins. Whether you’re ready to blow your clients away with newfound skills or start your career equipped with tools I wish I had in 2008, this is your chance.
