Why Me?
Hi, my name is Kristen! I am a family photographer based in Naperville, IL. I have taught photography to other photographers and moms, ESL students for a few years (I have a TESOL minor/certificate), and have taught children in various settings. I will be here every step of the way and will have a good time with the children!

FAQ
How much is the class?
It’s $5 for 30 minutes. I will be teaching six classes in one semester and six more in the next semester.
When does the class start?
The first week of September.
What if we don’t have a nice camera?
Don’t worry! This course is designed for kids who own an iPhone to a digital camera. Your kids can still learn amazing skills and learn how to have fun taking pictures. If you don’t know if you want to get a nice camera, then I recommend just using the iPhone for the first semester and get a nicer camera in the second semester.
How do I register for a class?
