Finally Feel Confident With Your Camera
Join other parents who've gone from 'Auto Mode Only' to confidently capturing their family's real moments in 10 weeks.
Perfect for busy parents who want to dust their "big" camera.
This course is for you if you own a DSLR or Mirrorless camera and...
- Don't feel 100% comfortable using it yet.
- Aren't confident taking your camera off "Auto Mode".
- Want to understand how the settings affect the images you take.
- Are curious (and a bit scared) about the terms Shutter Speed, Aperture and ISO.
- Want to get better at taking photographs indoors.
- Want to know why your photos are blurry.
- Struggle to create the photographs you want for your walls.
DSLR and Mirrorless are powerful cameras that can create sharp and clear images that are perfect for large wall prints. Their speed is also especially useful when photographing children!
Your camera deserves to be used more and YOU deserve to learn everything there is to know (ok, nearly everything) about it.
Photography Settings Made Simple and Fun
HOW it all works (theory)
I’ll break down the Exposure Triangle the way I wish someone had explained it to me when I was just starting out.
Using Settings with Intent
Once you finish this course, you will know WHY you are using a mode over another (and there is no shame in using Auto!)
Composition & Story
While the settings are important, they don't make the photos, so we'll dive into the fun stuff at the end.
You can learn ANYTHING!
Taking your DSLR & Mirrorless camera out of the "Auto Mode" can be intimidating, but with the right teacher, you can learn anything.
FACT: It's not that complicated, but when something is new, it can take a while to wrap our heads around it.
That's why, in the videos, I make sure to:
- Explain everything technical in a way that is accessible to complete beginners.
- Repeat things as many times as needed for them to become familiar and clear.
I will also encourage plenty of practice. I won't lie to you: if you don't put what you learn into practice, it won't stick. If you don't keep practising after the course, you will forget. So I have added fun optional assignments for you.
Improve the quality of your photographs and PRINT them proudly.
- The ultimate goal isn't to get better just for the sake of getting better.
- Once you become more confident with your camera, you will be able to capture sharper, better composed and more interesting images of your family.
- These images will shine best in photobooks and framed on your walls.
- These images will bring JOY to you and your family for years to come.
- And I want you to feel PROUD of yourself for achieving this.
Warning: We're not aiming for PERFECT. I never aim for perfect. I aim for "better than yesterday" and I aim for "meaningful".
I have put together THE course I needed when I started, with a special focus on family.

MODULE 1
The Exposure Triangle Explained
This module will be focusing on the Exposure triangle and explain in detail what Shutter Speed, Aperture and ISO stand for.
MODULE 2
Using Shutter Speed with Intent
In this module, I’ll showcase photographs taken with various apertures, explain why each aperture was chosen, and discuss the pros and cons of using different apertures in various situations—whether indoors, outdoors, or based on the environment and purpose.
MODULE 3
Using Aperture with Intent
In this module, I’ll present photographs taken with different shutter speeds, explain the reasons behind each choice, and explore the pros and cons of using various shutter speeds in different situations and contexts.
MODULE 4
Composition & Story
In this module, we will step away from the technical aspect of photography and concentrate on composition, shooting with intent, and telling a story.
Hi, I’m Johanna!
For the last 10 years, I’ve been capturing families’ most special and everyday moments while also documenting the beautiful chaos of my own family life.
When I first started, however, I didn't feel confident using anything but "Aperture Mode" and was intimidated by the "tech" side of photography.
Eventually, I realised that to consistently take good photos, I had no choice but to master the basics of photography.
And you know what? It wasn't all that complicated. A lot of the technical aspects such as Aperture and Shutter Speed are quite tangible. Cameras aren't using "magic" and I was able to visualise these intimidating settings and... practice, make mistakes, practice some more, and make more mistakes (I still make them!)
Now, I want to help you do the same. I’ll break it down to you the way I needed someone to break it down for me when I started. I want you to feel proud and to start taking photographs you will be proud to print and display around your home.

Questions Parents Asked Before About The Course
Yes, you absolutely will! While I can’t promise you’ll become a professional photographer or win awards, I can promise that you’ll start taking better family photos by the end of this course. But remember that how much better will depend on how much you practice.
The course was originally designed to be completed in 10 weeks, but it’s completely up to you how quickly or slowly you go! If you'd like to take your time, you can dedicate around 4 weeks to each module. Or, if you're eager to get going, you can allocate 1 week per module.
Each module contains bite-sized videos (under 10 minutes), with the total running time not exceeding 45 minutes. After that, it’s all about how much you want to practice. Whether you spend just 15 minutes a day or do everything at once, you’ll be in control of your pace!
You’ll have lifetime access to the course, which means you can log in and revisit the material whenever you like, for as long as the course is available. This includes any future updates or additions to the content, so you can learn at your own pace and come back to the lessons whenever you need a refresher. You’re in control of how you go through the course!
This course is designed for DSLR and mirrorless cameras, but if your phone or compact camera lets you manually adjust Exposure, Shutter Speed, and ISO, you'll find it just as valuable.
Assignments are 100% optional but are a great way to make progress and consolidate what you learn in the videos.
It will and plenty of students completed the course on their phones. However, for an improved experience, I would encourage you to watch the videos / visual content on a bigger screen.
This course is a beginners' course built for parents who don't have any specific knowledge in photography as well as parents who need a refresher.
This course doesn’t include live Zoom calls or one-on-one feedback, but I do my best to answer all the questions asked in the comments (under each video).
