Join the Simply by Suzy Photography Course for Parents and learn how to finally start taking beautiful, real photos of your family. For all those moments, big and small, when you can't have a pro photographer with you. 

 Hi, I'm Suzy! And I've been photographing families professionally for over 10 years. But now that I'm a mom I understand more than ever how many of our greatest moments will happen with our children outside of a professional photoshoot. So I put together this course to teach parents how to start taking pictures of their life that are beautiful and real, even when they can't have a professional photographer there with them - and how to have fun together and connect more deeply with each other while doing it. 

This course is NOT a traditional class with a set beginning and end date. It is structured as an online series of videos that you will have forever access to, and can go through from the comfort of your own home and on your own time.

This course is for you if: 

• You are a parent who wants to learn how to take beautiful pictures of your family
• You are about to welcome a new baby and are unable to have a photographer at the hospital with you or at home but want to take beautiful photos of those first few days and weeks with your little one (and continue to as they get older)
• You want to learn how to get your kids and your partner to cooperate for pictures, so that when the camera comes out it's something fun and special for everyone instead of full of frustration and tears
• You are looking to do something together with your partner and your family to build a deeper connection with each other
• You have a loved one who is about to have a new baby and want to give them the ultimate gift of photography & connection
• This course is for those with a DSLR, mirrorless or iPhone camera

 

What you'll get:

• Forever access to course videos.
• Instructional videos on the basics of photography and lighting
• Live videos of Suzy photographing her children at the hospital after birth, newborn photos at home and general photos of Suzy's infant and toddler. In addition to watching Suzy shoot you'll learn tips on how to best set up and anticipate moments with your own little ones.
• Learn how to connect more deeply with your family and how to get your children and your partner to actually WANT to be in pictures
• Learn how to master your DSLR/mirrorless camera and understand how to get bright pictures and blurry backgrounds just like the pros do!
• Understand the basics of lighting and how to set up and anticipate moments with your children from birth through the toddler years
• Learn the basics of editing your photos, how to back them up and how to print them and create new traditions for your family to enjoy your photos together
