Photography Training

I offer a wide variety of training options for beginners to hobbyists, and more advanced photographers. Explore the basic workings of the digital SLR camera and learn how to take the photographs you want. I can help you demystify f-stops, shutter speeds, and exposure. From one day DSLR camera workshops to longer, more in-depth courses, I can teach you the skills you need to take amazing photographs.

For advanced photographers who want to hone their craft, I offer Lightroom training to help you harness the power of RAW processing, colour management, and retouching.

Work With Me

  • I started with a rough idea of how I wanted the marketing and branding material to look. Kirsten took my 'It needs to be boardgamey, but not nerdy...' direction and finished with something we are proud to have emblazoned all over our store. She is quick, creative, and somehow always seems to make exactly what you want and then some.

  • Kirsten is so fast! I'm always amazed with how quick everything gets done. I'm so thankful I can email her with my freak out moments, and she's always there to help.  She's fun to work with and comes up with creative solutions for problems. I've already received lots of compliments on my website and logo design.
