In a nutshell it’s a crowd-sourced funding platform for creative projects worldwide (pardon my buzz word). There are a ton of great projects you can help support like documentary films, artisanal food labels, or physical products. The site is really inspiring. Be sure to head over there.

My husband just sent me the link to a fabulous project there called The Loog Guitar. This is a great product that kids will love. One of the best things you can do for children is encourage them to be curious and learn for themselves. This product not only allows you to put it together with your child (thereby giving them more ownership compared to buying one off the shelf) but it also introduces music to them in a way that makes it easy to get started. I love it and I’m glad to see they have surpassed the money they needed to fund it. Bravo!

Our workshop is geared towards parents who are relatively new to digital photography. I will be teaching some camera basics, some of the tricks I’ve learned including how to get great results with available light, basic processing, and we will also be demoing a live shoot at Crissy Field. Here are the details:

This was shot with very little light on a typical overcast day in San Francisco. I will be teaching simple, inexpensive tricks on how to make better images.

Modern Kids Photography Workshops: Make better images of your kids

Over the past year, tons of parents asked us questions about photography, so we decided to host our very own workshops. These workshops will be fun, informative, and geared toward new moms and dads with dSLRs. All workshops are hosted at Fort Mason in San Francisco.

You will learn basic techniques for photographing kids, as well as basic digital photography tips on shooting and processing images. We will even demonstrate a live shoot. The only requirement is that you own a dSLR and have basic knowledge of photography.

Workshops are $175 and you will definitely come away with great tips and new skills for making better images of your family. I’m offering a $25 discount if you sign up by Monday, July 27th.

Join us on the following dates:

Saturday, August 8th, 9am-12pm
Saturday, October 3rd, 9am-12pm

Email hello[at]modernkidsphoto[dot]com to book your spot in the workshop. Coffee and breakfast treats will be provided.
