Become a Mamarazzi Academy Graduate!

Mamarazzi Academy is geared toward moms that want to take better snap shots of their kids and family. This Photography workshop is not for photographers or those that are close (within 1 year) to starting a photography business. I started my photography business because I loved photography and wanted to take the best pictures I could of my son and I wanted to stay at home with him! I’ve made many mistakes along the way and look back on so many things that took months to figure out that I realize should have been easy to get! I’m here to make it easy on you and teach you the basics so you don’t have to find out through trial and error like me! I am not here to teach a professional photography class! I want to help moms like me, not put myself out of a job! I wish there was someone offering these classes when I was first getting started!

Why named my workshop "MAMARAZZI ACADEMY"

If you haven't already figured it out. . .as moms, believe it or not, we are like PAPARAZZI to the stars of our lives, running around with our cameras, behind bushes, in a mudhole, close up in our kids faces shooting constantly saying, "Oh you look so pretty!" "Give me a smile!" "Over here, Over here" just trying to get that "one shot", So I found the name to be VERY fitting!
