it's time to elevate your picture game.
Happy Snaps workshops was originally created to teach parents how to properly use their DSLR & mirrorless cameras to capture better pictures of their children.
While the core mission to teach users how to properly use their cameras is the same, we now offer workshops and courses for teens as well!
Your kids are growing fast and time is flying by. Every day is filled with beautiful moments, and you don't trust your memory to hold on to them all. You don't want ALL your pictures to be from your i-Phone, so you bought a "fancy" camera; but it has so many buttons and dials! You need help figuring it all out.
Happy Snaps workshops are for parents like you. We teach you how to use your camera to take better pictures of your children.
Are you ready to start using that camera you received for christmas, or did you just want to leave it in your closet?
