You have a fancy camera (or you want to buy a fancy camera) but don't know how to really use it!

You're unsure of where to start

This course taught me a lot about my DSLR camera! It’s very informative and fun! Kyla is the perfect person to be teaching this course. She is so fun and easy going. If you have a question she has an answer! She is so nice and an awesome person to learn from!
“informative + fun”
- Katie Mendez
This course was so helpful in helping me master my camera. I started off being really unsure and hesitant to mess with any settings in fear of ruining a moment/photo. But, Kyla’s course gave me the confidence I needed to use my camera as a tool to make art rather than relying on auto mode to do all the work!
“confidence mastered”
kind words
Over 12 years ago, I bought my first DSLR camera, eager to capture beautiful moments of my kids. Auto mode was my go-to, but I often felt frustrated with blurry action shots, weird colors, and grainy images.
Determined to improve, I learned manual mode, and that’s when everything changed. I gained control over my camera, creating vibrant, crisp photos that captured the essence of each moment. Now, with over 5 years as a professional photographer, I’m excited to share my knowledge with other moms who want to master their cameras and create stunning images.
When I’m not behind the camera, I love adventuring with my kids, playing piano and singing with my hubby, decorating our home, or exploring the great outdoors.
