Coolest thing I learned: how changing the angle can completely change how the pictures will turn out. I wish I would have known all this stuff about taking pictures with my phone before I went on vacation. 

Summer camps are back in 2022. Stay tuned for dates!

Learn skills to last a lifetime, explore, get creative, notice the little things (REALLY little!), and learn some amazing techniques and Pro Tricks to photograph daily life and create awesome memories, and maybe even explore a career.

  • I enjoyed learning about my camera and taking pictures of nature. Note: Caroline used panning to better capture the feeling of speed as this great blue heron took flight.
