fall in love with the magic of film

If you’re a family photographer feeling like you’re in a rut, film is such a beautiful remedy for creative burnout! Film can be an expensive medium to master. If you’re not exposing, focusing, or operating your camera properly, it can be a lot of money wasted in the process. This is why I have bundled up all my (20 years!) of knowledge so you don’t have to waste time and money learning this beautiful form of photography.

This course is for photographers who want to:

-realign with your artistic intuition
-reignite your creative spark
-spend less time culling and editing
-spend more time on your own creativity and vision


We go through everything from what film camera to choose to how to find your voice as an artist in order to bring your unique perspective and vision to your family photography.

this course is for you if you…

  • are in a creative rut

  • aren’t booking dream, aligned clients

  • are a chronic over shooter, bogging yourself down with too many images to cull

  • feel like your work is comparable to every other photographer in your area

  • struggle to find your editing style (constantly purchasing presets, hoping for the one)

  • are drowning in a constant editing pile — nagging at you constantly, stealing your peace + presence with your own family

  • have tried film before but it just didn’t quite work

  • don’t know how to make the transition/addition of film within your business

“Game-changer for my photography business!”
