New Year, New Dates, New Price!

Its a new year and a lot of people have shiny new DSLR cameras.  Have you figured your camera settings out yet?  Or are you still shooting in Auto?

Don't worry if you are; its not your fault.

Those manuals aren't exactly best-seller material.

Come join us for a learning experience that won't have you falling asleep.  Learn to use your DSLR camera to its full potential and learn HOW to take better pictures than what that AUTO mode is giving you.

And now its just $95 for this three hour class (admit it: you wound up spending that much at Target last time you went to "just get milk and shampoo")


Here's something you don't get from AUTO mode...
 No fancy equipment, set-ups, or Photoshop editing required.

Check below for additional information or email Elizabeth at elizhall@gmail.com with any questions.


New Dates:
Saturday, April 21 | 9:00 am - Noon
Saturday, May 19 | 9:00 am - Noon

Photography Workshop | St. Louis

We had our first private Outside the Box Photography Workshop over the weekend and it was fabulous fun! Of course we had fabulous and fun 'students' so I didn't expect anything less.  Learning to shoot in manual mode in just hours is no easy feat, but these ladies got their learn on fast.  I love seeing the light bulbs go on and the AH-HA moments!  The never ending rain put a damper on getting outside for some photos but we had two gorgeous little girls to practice on indoors.

These workshops are for dslr owners who want to learn to use their camera and take better pictures.  A few things we cover are: the basics of photography; how to shoot in manual mode; all about lighting - how to get great shots indoors and outdoors; Q&A time; and hands on practice.

There are still spots open for the upcoming June 4th workshop.  You can sign up by emailing elizhall@gmail.com.  Hope to see you there!

Announcing Beginner Photography Workshop | St. Louis

We are very excited to announce a new St. Louis Photography Workshop for beginner DSLR users.  This workshop is intended for moms who are interested in achieving better pictures by learning to use all of the functions on their cameras and understanding how to make those pictures happen.  If you are frustrated with your results or intimidated by your camera; if you continually set your dial to the green box automatic mode; then this is the workshop for you.  Its time to take control, empower yourself, learn manual mode and get your camera outside the green box.




What is it?
Four hours on a weekend.
Two instructors to teach you, and give you undivided attention and support.
The setting is comfortable and relaxed.
We take you through the basics of photography...the very basics.

We teach you the technical mumbo-jumbo then help you to make sense of it.
We show you what makes a great photograph happen.
We turn you loose on our child models to photograph, to make the lesson stick.
We review the photos for opportunities of improvement.

We'll even be there afterwards for support.


Please check the Photography Workshop page for upcoming St. Louis workshop dates.  We hope you'll join us.
