Learn how to take Family pictures! Forget all that stuffy posing and fake cheese smiles! Heather has 25 years of preschool teacher and photographer experience to share on how to get the best photos of kids ever.
-Learn how to ‘unpose’ kids by sitting them how you want them and then distracting them with stupid questions and ridiculous comments that get real smiles and genuine interaction.

Heather recommends that you request a SIGMA loaner portrait lens like the 85mm 1.4.
*Please be advised that while we strive to ensure easy access for all, due to the naturally varied topography or downtown areas, portions of any walk may be inaccessible to those with mobility concerns.
