{Picture Perfect} Online Digital Photography Classes 2012 Class Schedule and Enrollment Now open

Well, there must be a bunch of you out there that received fun new cameras for Christmas!!  I have had several emails come through asking for the 2012 {Picture Perfect} class schedule so that you can learn how to use them!!:)  I’m excited to announce the new class schedule for 2012!  It always makes me excited to teach people about something that I LOVE and that I KNOW will make a wonderful change for you and your shooting abilities forever.  Once you know how to tell your camera what to do, instead of having it pick for you, your pictures WILL change for the better and you will be AMAZED!!!  This is the PERFECT class for mommies who want to learn to take better pictures of their kids.  That is what drove me to become a photographer and I know it is what drives many of you to want better pictures!:)

Session #1 will begin February 6th.  Enrollment is now open and these classes do fill up, so don’t delay!  :)  I limit the number of students each session to keep them small so that I can give each student the amount of attention that they need.

Here’s a little reminder of what this class will cover…

If you are the proud owner of a Digital SLR camera (you know, one of those fancy cameras that you bought at costco or somewhere that allows you to change lenses) that you use as a really expensive point and shoot than this class is for you!!

If your camera has never left the safety of auto mode, than this class is for you!

I know there are thousands of you out there!! You bought those cameras because you wanted better pictures…well, the magic isn’t really in the camera…YOU make the magic happen!!!

Join me for this jam packed, super fun and informative six week online course full of VIDEO tutorials (that’s right, you get to WATCH something  just like you were in a classroom, I am the only class that I know of that offers more than just an audio file!!), fabulous handouts, creative and technical assignments…all to help you grasp the exciting world of manual photography!!

This course will include getting to know your camera, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, lighting and composition.

The classes offered this year will be:

Session #1 begins February 6th

Session #2 begins March 5th

Session #3 begins April 9th

Session #4 begins May 7th

Session #5 begins July 9th

Session #6 begins August 13th

Session #7 begins September 10th

Session # 8 begins October 8th

Session #9 begins November 5th

Class size will be limited.

cost:$ 200

You can register now securely through paypal for any of the sessions to hold your spot.

Session Options

For those of you worried about vacations, three day weekends  and such and worried about timing, I want you to know that these are VERY flexible classes.  There are 6 lectures, and I leave everything up and running for about 12 weeks so you have quite a while to watch everything, even multiple times if you want.   Along with every lecture there is also a .pdf file of the lecture with all the images examples and text so that you can print it out and put it in a binder to reference later.  It ends up being about 125 pages of image examples and how-to information.    Just for those of you concerned about missing a week!:)

A few things past students have said about the class:

“Tammy rocks!  I definitely learned a lot and things I haven’t learned in other photography classes.”

“Thanks so much for doing this class. I have taken a few at the local community college and came away feeling like I should just sell this camera and pay for a good photographer every few months. Now I am actually excited to take my camera places and I’m not afraid of it anymore!! THANK YOU!!”

“I just wanted to extend another thank you for helping me to understand my camera.  It felt so good to leave class knowing so much more about my camera then before I took the class.”

“You just really teach this very well…you are addicting..you are easy to learn from .”

“I just wanted to thank you for all the effort you put into making this such a great class.  It was really easy to follow.” 

I can’t wait to have you join me on this exciting adventure! Once you start shooting manually you will NEVER look back!!!

Have a great day!

Make This: My Heart’s a Stereo Homemade Valentine and free printable

I have been desperately trying to come up with something clever for Andy’s valentines this year.  Boys are hard to begin with, but then when they get older it gets even more difficult to be creative and fun, but not too cutesy.  We were rockin out in the car the other day to our favorite song of the moment Gym Class Heroes: Stereo Hearts and it hit me!!  My heart’s a stereo…it beats for you!  The challenge became building a stereo out of candy.  Well…i think it came out pretty cute…what do you think?

and the back…

or you can do it without the boom box handle… ;)

A funny side note…when I asked Andy if he knew what a stereo was he said  “nope.”  Feeling a little dated here!!;)  Anyways, he loved them and thinks they are totally fun…even if he does have to explain to all the kids what a stereo is. lol!! ;)

Would you like to create these yourself?  Here’s what you’ll need:

-large (movie theater box size) box of sweetarts  (Walmart or the Dollar Store are the cheapest I’ve found)

2 small boxes of lemonheads or similar

2 large chocolate coins

2 medium chocolate coins (you can find all these coins in bags at party city in their candy section)

1 small box of nerds

2 rolos

if you want to create the handle you’ll need about 6″ of ribbon.  Tie a knot at each end and then glue the handles at the knots to the top of your stereo. 

You’ll also need this free printable message for the back of your stereo. ;)  You know I love you guys!!:)  Cut them to about 3.5x 5.5 size.

And…if you’re in the mood to listen to the song, here you go! ;)

 have a great day!
