Learn Flash. It’s a game-changer.

Have you ever wanted to learn flash photography but were worried it was going to look “flashy”?

Yes, me too.

But, after giving up my studio space 10 years ago, I have worked really hard to find a way to shoot in-home family sessions on film, even in the dark of winter and in the tightest of spaces; and found the perfect solution.

Flash.

As the OG of in-home flash photography on film (yes I have copycats bc it’s so good),

I have years of real work and thousands of examples, troubleshooting tips, and more.

I am so excited to announce I am now offering  1:1 mentorships about learning flash photography in an in-home setting!  I taught on this very subject at Click Away in 2018, and with amazing feedback from my attendees, I created the Lighting for Lifestyle online course and offer mentorships.

“I went to every other session saying how great this class was, how much my mind was blown!”

“I thought this was the best class at Click Away.  I went to every other session saying how great this class was, and how much my mind was blown!  I immediately came home, and looked for the feet that came with my Speedlite!  Trying out all these techniques tomorrow in a very small NYC apartment. The fight against finding a well-lit room in a client’s apartment is over!”
