Photography has been a treasure in my life. When I pick up my camera, the world slows down and the beauty in the mundane is revealed. Photography has been a way for me to slow down life. When looking through my camera, I often find myself noticing things I would have otherwise overlooked. There was a time I worked as a photographer, shooting client sessions and weddings. In 2008, I stepped back from the professional side of photography. Now my subjects rarely sit still and almost never want to pose. Around the same time I stopped offering client sessions, I began teaching a one day intro to photography course in my home. In 2011, I took that course, SnapShop, and moved it online.
SnapShops were born out of a desire to enable others not only to grasp the basics of photography with a dslr camera, but also learn how to capture the beauty in their every days. The online workshop is for beginners, not professionals. It lasts 3 weeks, is entirely online, and self-paced. If you are interested in learning more about your dslr camera, I invite you to visit the SnapShop website for more information. I would be honored to help you go from knowing how to just take a picture to beautifully capturing the moments of your life.

The next SnapShop will be in February 2013

Canon EOS 5D
(these are a thing of the past, the new model is a Canon EOS 5D Mark II
)
Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM

Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM
- my favorite portrait lens
