AUTUMN PHOTO BOOTCAMP
by
If you have kids and a camera, love autumn and love taking photos, join our mini course and learn how to make the most of autumn's colours, textures and light and leave with great photos of your kids in just 5 days.
IT'S FREE, IT'S ONLINE, IT'S BEGINNER FRIENDLY
There is a reason why autumn is family photographers' busiest season. The colours, the beautiful scenery, the gorgeous light - it CAN look absolutely stunning in photos.
EXCEPT, sometimes it doesn't.
You were aiming for a lovely whirlwind of golden leaves, you got...well, dirt in the air...
But you can do better
And most of it has nothing to do with the camera you're using, and everything to do with understanding where to position yourself, where the light is and what angle to pick. And this is where we come in.
WHAT YOU GET:
We give you 5 practical, instantly actionable lessons that cover core photographic concepts especially related to photographing kids and families PLUS daily challenges - all with an autumnal twist, all non-technical and jargon free, so that even if you're a complete beginner, you can still end the week with a load of fantastic images and plenty of big ideas for capturing your little ones. And it's FREE!
ALL YOU NEED is a child / children you can practise your photos on and a camera (a camera-camera is best, but if you don't have one, a phone camera will suffice!)

HOW IT WORKS
If there is one thing I know about learning photography, it's that you can't learn photography by just watching / reading stuff. You have to actually do it. So this course (as all our other courses) puts practice and proper human support at its centre. This is how it works:
dedicated Learning Platform
A few years ago, we decided to invest in our own learning platform and moved all our courses there. It integrates a space for learning materials and community and support and that's where you'll find this course. After signing up, you will be prompted to set up a free account on the platform and you'll use it to access the materials.
One lesson per day ONLY
We will be drip-feeding the lessons to you one per day. Why? Because we want you to actually have the time to read/watch it, digest it and most importantly TRY it. No practice, no learning. And it's significantly easier if you're trying one thing at a time and not 5! Plus some of them will be building on each other.
Human (ME!) support
Nothing beats real support from a real human who's been teaching this for years (me!). I'll be on the platform with you every day, supporting, advising, answering questions, highlighting the best, suggesting improvements and celebrating your progress. That's how you learn!
Hi, I'm Ania
If you join our course, you will be seeing a lot of me! I'm the founder of Photoparents, award-winning photographer and photography educator. I'm also a Mum of 2 spirited girls and when I say spirited, I mean, not the kind that sits politely and poses. So I made it my mission to teach parents how to capture their children naturally, in their own environment, as they are, and who they are. This is what we teach in our courses and this is what we will be encouraging here.
Will you join me?

Here is what our past Autumn Bootcamp participants told us:
That was such a good autumn photo bootcamp again! I especially enjoyed the lessons about leaves kicking/throwing and the lesson about flat lays and will definitely print many of the photos taken this week in our yearly photo album!

I'm really enjoying the course, following the lessons and reading them the night before is great! The advice you give is great, and I'm glad it's not full of detail I don't understand, the perfect level for me! Definitely learning new things. Really enjoying it!

First bootcamp I've done and totally new to photography, but loved every second. I've a long way to go but feel like I've learnt so much already over the past 3 days and my pics have already improved. Loved seeing lots of pro pics for inspiration too. Shows what you can achieve and is really motivating.

I’m loving the bootcamp. It was last years boot camp that got me started on photography and I am now an level 2 grad and happily shooting in manual. The lessons are a brilliant recap and gives me focus on my shots each day

I have always loved taking photos and it’s been great to take part in my first bootcamp to learn more. I love the daily challenges and the materials are so helpful. They are explained really well too thanks! I feel like I’m starting to improve and think more about the photos I’m taking
Kate M
I’m loving all your materials and the fact that the daily tasks are perfect for everyone incorporating a challenge element for the alumni. Bingo is fun too!

Frequently asked questions
In short - NO. Ideally, you will have A camera - it definitely doesn't need to be big or fancy. However, if all you have is your phone camera - you can still join - we won't be going into anything technical at this stage. This week is about teaching you to see things a bit differently, and that you can do with any device.
NO. You DO need to create a free guest account on the platform, but that is entirely separate from our membership. We will not be asking for any payment info - literally just your name and email. Once set up, you will only have access to the Autumn Bootcamp materials, and nothing more. If you wish to, you can delete your account after completing the course.
No. The materials will be released in the morning of each course day and you'll be able to access them from that point on till the course closes. I will be popping up live in the group but you don't need to be online at the time.
No, you don't. We make this course deliberately non-technical so that anyone can join. We know that every time we run a bootcamp, we get a real range of people who join - from complete beginners who only ever use their phones, to seasoned 'clickers'. Everyone gets something from the course - from learning the basics, picking up a few tips and tricks on how to make your photos better, see your kids in a new light to inspiration and prompts to just take photos you wouldn't have thought of before.
Nothing. Nada, Nic, Null, Zero. There is no hidden cost - it's Free - simple as that. We are a Photography education company and we run full size paying courses that go a lot wider and deeper into the art and craft of photographing children, and while we do hope that having a taste of our courses might make you consider joining us, this mini course is really, truly free.
