“Before taking this class, I knew pretty much nothing about photography.  I had a shiny, brand new DSLR camera- but really no idea how to use its many features.  Let’s just say, it stayed in auto mode all the time.  Manual mode was just too scary.  But I’m happy to say that by the end of the class, I was confidently taking pictures in manual mode and loving it!  I was finally able to understand all of the talk about aperture, shutter speed, and exposure.  This class was just what I needed to gain the confidence to start exploring and having FUN with photography. “

The best time to start a new adventure is now!

I have been teaching photography in person and online for over 5 years and love every moment of watching my students grow and produce beautiful images capturing their daily lives.  Some have even gone onto professional photography careers.

Sign up now to claim your seat in our 4 week online beginner photography class.  This class is for people who have just purchased their first DSLR to those who have some knowledge and experience but want to really ‘get’ it.   We start nice and easy introducing different skills and technical information along with practice assignments to help you really grasp the knowledge you need to confidently photograph your life.   The class provides information in a private website with different sections that include text, graphics, images and video to help all types of learners.  The information is delivered in an easy to understand way.

“I have had a nice DLSR for a while and was stuck shooting on automatic.  Despite my best attempts at reading the overwhelming amount of information related to photography my photographs still lacked the beauty and artistic touch that I desired.  Thank goodness I found Shannon with Life Long Impressions.  Not only did she teach me the basics of photography and advise me in lens selection she has continued to mentor me along the way.  No longer do I have to take 200 shots in hopes that I will get 2 I like, but I can reliably shoot in manual mode on my camera and I am pleased with the results.  I also took a Lightroom editing class with Shannon which has helped me turn my pictures into art that I have had printed on canvas and paper.  I highly recommend Shannon.  She is so knowledgeable about photography and editing and makes class so much fun!”

“I took Shannon’s photography class online and LOVED it. We had purchased our Cannon rebel 3 at Christmas but I was way too overwhelmed to use it and it seemed like every time I tried to take pictures they were a flop. Shannon’s class gave me the confidence and skills I needed to want to use my camera and actually get beautiful results. The class went step by step teaching you the basics of all the cameras functions. I learned about aperture, how to blur my backgrounds, focusing, getting the best light, and on and on. I am so much more confident now in my photography skills! I loved the feedback I would get from Shannon on all my pictures I sent in. She was really positive and helpful as she encouraged me to make simple changes to get a better picture. It was also great seeing the pictures that the other students in the class took and the feedback they were getting too. We were all learning together and it was motivating and fun!

I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking to improve their photography skills.”
