Basics of
Photography

Brought to you by

Imagine If...

You knew exactly what gear to buy and what you should have in your bag.

You could confidently take photos totally in manual mode like a boss.

You could walk outside and know exactly how to deal with every lighting situation.

You could edit photos like a pro and feel confident in your final product.

That's why I've created the Basics of Photography Course!

I have a master’s degree in education, I taught for six years, and at some point along the way, I was gifted a camera which I turned into a 6 figure business in three years.

I’m taking what I learned and using my education background to break everything down for you in an easy to understand way so that you can get started on your photography journey.

See what people are saying...

"I knew the basics but doubted myself a good amount. I 10/10 highly recommend! Meagan is an amazing, patient, caring teacher! I learned so much and feel more confident in myself now!"

"I had basic knowledge of my camera and some of the settings, I even took some great pictures sometimes, but I didn’t understand how everything worked together or what to do if I had poor lighting. I had an aha moment when I understood how ISO, shutter speed and f-stop worked together!"

"This class was just what I needed. I finished knowing so much more than I had expected. Meagan really explains things So well that I even finished thinking wow! It all makes sense now, and I am actually loving to take pictures now without getting so discouraged. I’m so glad that I decided to do this class. It was very helpful!"

"I learned so much in this class. Meagan is so knowledgeable and so much fun!"
