“I am so glad I took this course and practiced this Spring because now I feel like I can tackle a newborn session anywhere!”

So I had my basement newborn session today and it freaking rained and was overcast!!! But armed with my OCF knowledge and my digital camera, I think I rocked it! Imagine one window that was 18″ tall by 36″ wide – that was all I had. I am so glad I took this course and practiced this Spring because now I feel like I can tackle a newborn session anywhere!”
-Melissa Jeffcoat

“I’ve been practicing at home with my kids…and I get it. I totally get it!”

I’ve been practicing at home with my kids…..and I get it. I totally get it….thanks Kim! I’ve always been afraid of film indoors….but have always wanted to make the switch. And now it’s time to ditch the digital, re-brand, re-market, re-build and I am all in with film, indoor, outdoor, in-studio, I’m down. I got this! Yay Kim and yay me!”
-Jennifer Brotchie

“I can’t believe how amazing flash is! Your class changed my lifeee!”

OMG! I got my scans back today from Indie. I can’t believe how amazing flash is. Your class changed my lifeeeee! I’m so glad I bought your class. I’ve been so scared of flash for some reason until your class! I took photos with and without flash and the flash were so amazing!

“Adding off-camera flash to my home sessions is a total game-changer!”

Guys! Adding off camera flash to my home sessions is a total game changer when you live in a state that has like an 8-month-long winter. If you are a photographer looking to learn flash you should definitely check out Kim Hildebrand’s Lighting for Lifestyle class!

“1st film scans with flash came in and i’m so excited!!”

First film scans using flash with film came in and I’m SO EXCITED!! So happy with how they turned out, even if they’re just simple test shots over breakfast with my baby girl.
