Aspiring photographer trying to master your skills

Capturing Pro worthy pictures doesn't have to be complicated, or expensive! 

Shake the thought that quality pictures require a fancy camera with every bell and whistle. Focus on the fundamentals that create "AW-Mazing" moments, by developing the non-negotiable skills that go beyond the lens.  

I'll be candid. . . it's not the camera, it's the creative

You want to take photos that express your style, story and are scroll stopping on social media. 

Settings on a camera, and knowing how or when to use manual mode has you resorting to online searches that confuse things even more.  

and while finding the perfect lighting isn't too crystal clear either. . . 

Nope, I'm not a mind reader, I've just been there!

After 10+ years as a professional photographer, 

I had to learn many of my talents and skills the old fashion way. . . trial and error.

Luckily all of the that "trial and error" has paid off.  It's allowed me to have a successful business, while being a mama, and enjoying my family.  I get to use my creativity to capture memories that become priceless treasures. 

Being a photographer, whether at a pro level or just for your personal knowledge gives you the opportunity to create works of art in a style that suits the exact mood and vision you had in mind.  

This brings me to a question

Would you rather...

spend the next 10+ years dabbling in photography, getting frustrated about camera settings, and feeling overwhelmed with the editing?

 

Or, would you rather...

master the top insider secrets that will have you creating pro-level photography worthy images in just a few weeks (or even a weekend)?

 

Hmmm....10 years is 3,650 days! 

Meet your teacher

I'm Ilona Jade

When I was starting out, I had to dig through loads of information to learn something I could use to get the photos I wanted. Overwhelm and frustration was mounting as I would try and try to get the images to come out the way I was envisioning them. 

Sometimes they were blurry, and other times they looked okay.

There were times my photos would be way too bright or way too dark and I had no idea what I was doing wrong.

I would ask myself, "why is this so dang hard!?" Clearly I underestimated the skills and talent that the photographers I looked up to had, because my images wouldn't come close.  

After countless amounts of trial and error, figuring out each problem as it came up and perfecting the consistency of my photography style, I finally made it!

Looking back, It's humbling and a little shocking that I was able to get clients without being able to guarantee the amazing photos right off the bat.  I owe those clients my greatest appreciation for letting me practice and perfect my skills, while capturing their most precious milestones.

Camera

I have learned a LOT over a 10 year span, but the most important thing was 100% this: 

1. The type of camera you use is irrelevant, especially when learning the fundamental skills for pro-level photos (even if it's your phone camera you start out with).

2. There are things that are non-negotiable to master, and there are things that are "nice to know," but don't matter as much.  

3. I didn't have the luxury of having someone minimize the fluff of what I needed to actually learn, but the amount of time and frustration it would have saved me sounds like a dream! 

4. Creating Candid with a Camera Crash Course Pro™ has allowed me to support the next wave of photographers that want to eliminate the guesswork around camera settings, lighting and editing. 

In as little as a weekend (not 10 years), students inside this course will master the essentials that will be their solid foundation to what allows them to create the images they have circling around in their creative minds.

Melissa of Seattle, WA had this to say:

"I picked up photography after I had my daughter and wanted to take gorgeous photos of her. I was doing my best but really needed a one stop course to help me understand everything from manual shooting and the best settings, to how to edit photos in lightroom to get the look I wanted.
