Private Lessons
Got a new camera and want me all to yourself? Or taking a group camera class somewhere and you need a quick "catch up" between the first and second meeting so you won't stay lost? I have taught everything from opening the box to your first digital camera to helping professionals set up their studio lights. We can do camera basics, specific types of shots, or even Photoshop, retouching, or printing. Know that if I taught photography to high school students, I can handle anything.

Private lessons are $65 an hour.  You can bundle three hours for $150. Most people learn more than they ever thought possible in just one or two lessons. We meet wherever makes sense for what you want to learn. Vacation photos? We go to pretty spots in Austin. Kids? A park. Around your house? Then that's where we go.

Feel free to share your lesson with a friend and split the cost.  Email Deanna for details. She makes very cute custom gift certificates if the lessons are for someone special!

Through UT Informal Classes:
Digital Point and Shoot Camera Photography

Unlock the mysteries of the icons on your digital camera’s program dial! Defeat shutter lag and end blurry shots by mastering the quirks of your individual camera. 

This course is for new digital camera owners who are bewildered by settings and unsure why their shots sometimes fail. We will emphasize hands-on shooting alternated with basic camera information to improve your pictures immediately. 

Students will practice shots, develop them, and present them in the second class. Bring your digital camera and the manual with you to class.

Through Deanna’s Studio
Macro Nature Photography

In this three-hour course, we will practice nature photography using the macro settings of both advanced Digital SLR and Point-and-Shoot cameras.

Learn how to capture extraordinary images of flowers, controlling the focus of your background to make your pictures "pop." We will go over the basics of Depth of Field and how the f-stop controls what is in focus in an image. Manual SLR users will learn about aperture; point and shoot users will work carefully with the various scenic modes of their cameras.

No tripod is necessary--just your camera, a spare battery, your camera manual, cool clothes, sunscreen, and water.

Mom’s Club Photo Classes

Deanna can give lessons to your mom’s club or playgroup at your meeting. She can do a one-hour talk or a two-hour hands-on workshop. Both focus on getting pictures from each Mom’s individual camera, and we’ll discuss the quirks of various brands and styles as well as the most common mistakes and how to quickly and easily avoid them. Definitely bring your camera with you!

No minimum or maximum class size, just $65 an hour for her to come. Email her for details.
