  • You're doubtful that others will want to buy the kind of family photography you want to shoot

  • You're not sure how to develop your own unique family photography style

  • You'd like to know what equipment and kit is best for family photography where you're working in family homes and on location using only natural light

  • You'd like practical advice on how to elevate your family images artistically using light and composition in creative ways, both in family homes and outdoors

  • You'd like practical advice on how you can capture genuine moments, relationships and emotion between family members

  • You'd love to see a real, RAW, unculled family shoot so you can see exactly how a session was shot and how this translates into the final edited product

Kristian Leven

"Anna is rightly regarded as one of the very best family photographers in the country, and her course is considered the best training tool for new family photographers, so for me there was no question that I wanted to learn from her"

"It's given me fresh enthusiasm for shooting family portraits"

Adam Riley

“I first started shooting portraits over 10 years ago, but since I started photographing weddings they have taken a back seat. I was keen to get shooting more family photography again, but wasn’t really sure where to start. I often paused the videos to jot down notes and ideas, and it gave me fresh enthusiasm for shooting family portraits. I’ve really enjoyed putting Anna’s advice and help into practice and am shooting more portrait sessions than ever!”
