Childhood in Motion Workshops
CHILDHOOD IN MOTION: THE WORKSHOPS
Designed for parents looking to capture sincere, casual, and fun shots of their kiddos between formal portrait sessions, my class provides practical, custom tips to boost your photo skills. Crafted with the beginning "momtog" or "dadtog" in mind, you'll receive 1:1 mentoring that allows you to capture everyday images of your child(ren) for years to come, covering DSLR camera settings, lighting, and our favorite tips for working with small subjects!
THE SWEETEST MOMENTS in childhood ARE UN-POSED
Childhood is messy. And sweet. And fun! But mostly messy...right? Well our photos don't need to be any different.
My philosophy behind "Childhood in Motion" is that beauty lies in the everyday details: playing in the park. Building Lego towers in the living room. Playing with the family pet. THESE are the moments where life is truly lived.
Our mentoring sessions help you capture the everyday details that show your family (however you define it!) in it's truest form: no posing, no forced smiles, no tears, no stress.

PART ONE: IN-PERSON MENTORING
At all of our mentoring sessions, you'll receive:
- Delicious coffee (or grown-up beverages!), goodies and time to chat with Carli about questions you have. I love getting to know you!
- Camera and lens basics (including camera settings that are best for children and portraits, tips for when to use a specific lens, and flash settings). The takeaway? You know how to operate that DSLR you've been toting around (without using the "auto" setting!).
- Lighting 101: How to manipulate the lighting in your home or outside to get the best shots for your setting.
-Tips and tricks for "non-posing": How to capture kiddos authentically, without all the fuss.
