Mama photography class?

L L CG · May 2010

A couple of years ago I stumbled onto a photographer's blog here in Austin. She and another photog offered classes to new moms who have DSLR's and wanted to learn how to take pics of their babies. Does anyone know what I am talking about? I've googled this morning and I can't find it.

I've had a DSLR for almost 2 years and I am just ok at taking pics. It'd be awesome if I could learn a few more things about it before El Minip gets here. And, no, I will never, ever start my own photography bidness. I just want to get better than snapshots of my chillin.

If you remember what I am talking about, can you send me in the right direction?

Or mayyybeeeeee, one of our own awesome-mc-awesome nestie photographers could put on a clinic. For a fee, of course! I'd take it.

I dunno which class you're thinking of, but another nestie and I are taking a beginning digital photog class through UT informals. It's $84 and meets 4 times. Let me know if you want more info and I'll email it to ya.

I think I remember what you are talking about. It was the mamarazzi school by Sarah Q and Jennifer Nichols (The Nichols Photography). I just checked the Mamarazzi site and it looks like it hasn't been active since 2008 and I didn't see anything on either of the photographers blogs/websites.

I posted about this class a while ago, but the blog hasn't been updated since 2008 so I'm not sure if Sarah still does it. I would totally pay a Nestie/Bumpie to teach me how to use my DSLR.

Yep. That's exactly the one. I had boudoirs shot with Jennifer and that must have been how I found it. Thank you! And, damn, they don't do them anymore.

I JUST took a class by a local photographer who was offering this service last weekend and I loved every minute of it. It was a 3.5 hr class and I finally learned how to get off auto mode. It was geared to people just like what you are describing... not wanting to be professional but just wanting to learn how to use the camera. She is going to offer the class again since there was quite a bit of interest and she wanted to keep the class at 5 for hands-on help. She even sent us home with a bunch of step-by-step info and goodies. I highly recommend the class!! Here is a link to her blog describing the class I took and then here is her main website just for reference (sorry that I can't make clicky w/ my mac):

I might be interested in putting something together. If you're interested email me - libbyann@gmail

It probably won't be until the weekend until I have time to sit down and write something out, but it's something I've been tossing around in my head for a few months now!

I would, too!

I am ashamed of the nice DSLR I have and the just-ok pictures I take with it... too lazy to have ever put time into learning.

I guess you have to already own a DLSR? DH an I have been shopping around online (we won't be ready to buy for several more months) - but I'd love to know how to use one in advance. It might even encourage DH to bump up the 'priority level' of the purchase.

For this class, you do have to bring your own DSLR camera. I'm not sure if there are other classes out there where they provide a camera.

I totally want to play!! Just got a camera for Christmas, have no idea how to use it, having a baby in June. Would LOVE just a one time class.

atlantic · May 2010

I have no idea what a DSLR is...but I like pictures and taking better ones!

Libby - ygm!

L L CG · May 2010

I just got an email back from Jennifer Nichols saying that they have no plans to have another class in the near future. They are too busy.

I am going to read up on the informal class!

MrsAJL · May 2010

I would love to take a class like this! I have DSLR but I'm hopelessly stuck in Auto mode. Plus, I would love to know how to take decent photos of DS (and hopefully more babies in the future).

Can someone send me the informal class info?

gloria.litt @ gmail

Libby, can I get on an e-mail list if you decide to hold one of these classes? It would be great to learn from someone who does kid/baby photos all the time!

Want a personalized experience?
