Photography Courses

Sessions currently take place at the fabulous Carmenta Life in Berkhamsted, easily accessible from town centre carparks, and with a dedicated buggy parking area. This venue offers a waiting area, baby changing facilities, and a kitchen so you can get a drink.

Do you know of somewhere that would make a great venue for photography workshops for parents in Berkhamsted, Tring or the surrounding areas? Get in touch and lets see what we can arrange.

Yes. Most of our sessions are designed so you can bring your baby or child with you to class. Some babies and children will happily sleep throughout the session, some will play or read, some will want to be sat on your knee. And they all make great models for you to practice your new skills. You may find if easier if your child isn’t mobile, but each child is different and you are the best person to know if you will enjoy the class with your baby or child alongside you. If you’re not sure please get in touch. You don’t have to bring a baby or child with you to attend a session.

Each course is designed as a whole, with new topics and knowledge introduced each week. We therefore encourage you to make every effort to attend all the sessions that make up a course. We do however know that life happens, and babies have a way of falling ill just when you want them to be well. If you miss a session, you will still receive the notes of the class via email. If you need more help then get in touch and we will try to provide you with extra support so you can catch up.

If for any reason your teacher is unable to run the class then another date will be scheduled to compensate. Refunds will not be issued. If a class is cancelled due to extreme severe weather and / or dangerous driving conditions it may not be rescheduled, but we will make sure that we cover any subjects missed within the following week’s class and throughout the rest of the course.

You don’t need to have the latest top of the range camera, but you do need a camera that lets you move beyond auto. Suitable cameras includes DSLRs (such as Canon or Nikon) and mirrorless cameras (such as Olympus, Fuji and Panasonic). If you are not sure if your camera is suitable please get in touch and we can advise. You will also need to bring one or more lenses, and a memory card for your camera. If you don’t have a camera but still want to take place we may be able to arrange for you to borrow a camera for the duration of the course.

That’s me. I’m Lyndsey, an experienced photographer (recently published by Vogue – whoop!), a mum, and a former playleader. Having spent nearly a decade photographing weddings, families and horses, the arrival of my son has reignited my love of taking photos of everyday moments. I love capturing the precious memories that stay with us forever, the day-to-day routines as well as the special occasions. The expressions, the details, the relationships. The mess, the way life really is.

I’m a camera geek, and love devouring camera manuals. I’m always learning and trying out new techniques and experimenting with different kit. I want to help you understand how to use your camera to get the photos you want to take, to capture images what you will treasure.
