“The class was really enjoyable. Everything was explained well. I enjoyed the balance between learning and practicing. It has prepared me for more photography opportunities. I have a lot more confidence with cameras now! Before coming I felt like it would be very technical and was nervous about really taking hold of my camera. Now I feel very confident with manual mode. ”
“I really enjoyed it because the atmosphere was warm and welcoming while also being professional. I am far more confident in only one class. It was fast-paced, while still leaving lots of room to understand the material. I felt slightly nervous, not knowing a single thing, but as soon as it finished, I was confident in my ability to take picutres and change settings.”

A little bit about your teacher!
Hey, I’m Jade! I’m an award-winning photographer and I’ve been in the portrait photographer now for over 10 years and I can honestly say, it’s my favourite thing to do! I’m into art, interior decor and design and all the pretty, shiny things . .
I’ve photographed over 800 babies and families on the Gold Coast, and it’s
been such a joy that it hardly feels like work. I want you to fall in love with photography like I did, and to do that, you need to fall in love with your camera too!
