Photography BEGINNER *Series* SAVE when Signing up for all 3 Classes HERE

YES this is the Beginner Photography Series Dee has taught since 2012! YES this is the series Dee created and taught through the local community college and at various towns in the North Iowa area! YES it IS worth it - the time FLIES by during each class, before you know it you've gone from using your camera in Auto mode to KNOWING what to do with your camera!!! You will learn things from Square One - whether you've been using your camera for years or you just took it out of the box, we want to make sure you know it ALL! Students consistently say Dee teaches in a way you will understand - and there is always hands-on practice, photo stations, homework, workbooks for follow-along and notes and resources to take home!

The Series of 3 classes is for Saturday mornings, every 2 weeks. By the time you're done with these classes you can take your own professional family portraits in time for Christmas cards!

The classes Series include:

Beginner 1        October 14th, 9:00 a.m. to Noon

Take your digital photography skills to the next level with D Portraits' Beginner 1 course! We'll walk you through basic set-up options, explanation of terms, automatic scene modes, White Balance, tips for creating better pictures including the Rule of Thirds, and much more.

Beginner 2       October 28th, 9:00 a.m. to Noon

Take your digital photography skills to the next level with D Portraits' Beginner 2 class!

With hands-on assistance in the classroom, you'll be able to practice what you learn and hone your skills.

Beginner 3       November 11th, 9:00 a.m. to Noon

Start to really venture out of “Beginner” stages and begin taking control of your camera and the finished product: your photos!  Get to the next level with custom settings such as Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO, custom White Balance, Histogram, Lenses, Filters, and more.

Learn steps, with provided Summary Guides, to put it all together from Class 1, 2, and 3.  We give you the roadmap for future success with your camera, so you don't have to try to remember what you learned in class!
