Course Description

A lot of photographers have asked me how I get tweens and teens to look natural in family photos. It's TOUGH, trust me, but it's not impossible to get older kids to relax and enjoy a family session. A lot of it is how you interact with them. I have created a video that shows the difference of how I photograph a family with older kids compared to photographing a family with younger kids. Bottom line, they are just two completely different sessions. Watch me as I teach you tips and tricks with working with different ages!

The class was very practical with two complete examples of how to work with different age groups for a photo shoot!!! I LOVED the live demonstrations and appreciated all of the pro tips and suggestions for family sessions! Thank you for making such an enjoyable and resourceful class!!!

Photography is fun! Family pictures are fun and memorable. Children like to play games and have fun also. Overall, the lectures were interesting and a learning experience. Out door photography can be challenging, however, fun and getting involved is one way of making the event successful and fullfilling. Thank you absolutely. Excellent!

This is an excellent template to use for my shoots.

By Justin Black on 11/20/2021

Appreciate that the course shows actual shoots and talks through them. At times I hoped for a little more direct coaching to the viewer, and saw a few spots that should have been edited out for professionalism.

By Laura Kaiser on 11/16/2021

So fun, I really felt I could connect to you Angie, I can't wait to practice some of what I learned through your videos! Thank you!

I appreciate the attention to detail and the examples that are given.

By Elizabeth Miller on 9/24/2020

I love that she gives live actual photo shoots. I am very new at trying to do serious photography so it would be helpful to know the lens she used with the subjects running toward and back away from her. I tend to use auto focus in cases like that.

By Myra Quigley on 8/2/2020

This was great! I loved hearing you talk through what your thinking in how to pose them. I loved seeing the final shot with the camera settings. I wish there were more if them.

By Shawn Merriman on 8/1/2020

This was a really good introduction with good insights.
