During each scheduled class, at least 10 students bring their cameras, lenses, and manuals to learn fundamentals such as aperture and composition in an outdoor setting filled with natural light.

Jennifer Owens Photography
Drawing creative inspiration from hobbies that include crafting and cooking, photographer Jennifer Owens specializes in capturing spur-of-the-moment images of engaged couples, families, and newborns. She also shares her expertise in classes that introduce beginners to concepts such as adjusting ISO settings on a digital camera or using the right shutter speed for moving subjects. Owens is equally comfortable in outdoor settings, and can demonstrate how to take advantage of the magical "golden hour," the time around dawn or dusk when the sun adds warmth to portraits and turns photographers’ photos of raw pizza dough into fully baked pizzas.

“I am so happy I went to her class . Her style of teaching makes it easy to learn . Before attending Jens class I had taken a similar one two weeks prior , and seriously I learnt so much more from her . She made it simple and easy to grasp . I left feeling the class ready to use my camera with more confidence , because I finally understood more about the features . I hope she has follow up classes , because I would definitely love to attend .”

“I loved Jennifer's class! I've had an old-school digital Nikon for years, and for years I've tried to teach myself how to use it -- but I just don't do manuals. Jennifer put everything into focus (pun intended) and made it much easier for me to grasp the concepts. Now I feel a lot more confident behind the lens. ”
