Is this course for you?

You have read all the generic '5 tips for better photos' and you're still none the wiser
You're not sure where to start to actually improve your photography skills
You wonder if you can take better photos even without diving deep into the camera settings

If you noddedat any of those - you're ready for our Clickstarter.

What Clickstarter is ( and isn't)

Clickstarter is a 5-day, fully online, completely free mini course focused on how you see and compose your photos — the stuff that makes a real difference, on any camera, even your phone.

Expect this from our course:

practical lessons with daily challenges
focus on what you see and how you compose your photos
Real support throughout - from a person, not a bot

But we won't do those things:

show you how to pose babies in buckets
throw heavy camera jargon at you
tell you your settings don't matter (they do — we just save that for later)

What you need?

ALL YOU NEED is a child / children you can practice your photos on and a camera (a camera-camera is best, but if you don't have one, a phone camera will suffice!)

What happens in the course?

5 days - 5 lessons - 5 challenges

One lesson drops per day for five days, starting from the moment you sign up. Each one includes a short video, some reading, and a photography challenge to put it into practice straight away. The lessons are built specifically for parent photographers — capturing a wriggly toddler is a different ball game to a serene landscape, and we treat it that way.

The course is self-paced within that structure, and if you get stuck, you can ask questions and get a real answer from me or one of our instructor

Why Composition First?

Camera settings take time to master — genuinely. So rather than rush you through them in five days and leave you more confused than when you started, Clickstarter focuses on something you can apply immediately to any device: learning to see differently. How your camera frames the world, photographic storytelling,, thoughtful composition. These skills will reshape how you photograph your kids regardless of what camera you're holding.

('But what about the settings stuff?' We go deep on that in our other courses. This is your starting point.)

Help and Support

Although the course is self paced, you'll also have a space to ask questions and get help if you need it (a real person - one of our moderators / instructors or even me). We know people learn best when they have real life support!

Who's teaching you?

Hi, I'm Ania.

I've been teaching parents to photograph their children for over 15 years — and I am a firm believer that family photography is about capturing the real, unfiltered version of your family life. Nothing posed or prettified, simply the kind of images that look exactly how the moments felt, and that break your heart a little when you find them years later.

Clickstarter is where I'd start if I were you.I created this course to address the exact things that I saw a lot of our students struggle with at the start of their photo journeys. I think it may do the same for you.

what people say

I have learnt so much in this week and can already see such an improvement in my photos. You presented it in such an easy to understand way. The task for each day made it so fun. All I want to do is get my camera out and take pictures to practice what I've learned!

Katie M.

Thank you so much! I wish I’d had this before I’d had my babies, but better late than never!!! It’s given me a totally new insight into taking photos!

Carly M

Frequently asked questions

DO I NEED A FANCY CAMERA TO TAKE PART?

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, and most of what we will be doing will work for phone cameras too. This course is about teaching you to see things a bit differently, and that you can do with any device.

DO I NEED TO BE ONLINE AT A SPECIFIC TIME?

No. Your lesson releases once a day at the same time you signed up, and it's yours from that point on. Do it whenever suits you.

DO I NEED PRIOR PHOTOGRAPHY KNOWLEDGE?

No. We get a real range - complete beginners through to seasoned clickers. Everyone takes something from it.

DO CAMERA SETTINGS MATTER?

Yes, genuinely - and we teach them properly in our other courses. But Clickstarter is deliberately settings-free so you can start seeing results straight away, without waiting until you've mastered your camera.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST AGAIN???

Nothing. No hidden fees, no trials, no catches. We have other paid courses, and we hope you'll consider those when you're ready - but this one is just free.
