Photography classes
Whether you want to become a professional photographer or you’re just starting out and want to take better photos of the people, places and adventures that matter most to you - the right guidance makes all the difference. Photography should feel exciting and approachable, not overwhelming or over-technical.
Level up your photo game with one of my in-person or online photography classes. Whether you’re new to photography or a seasoned photographer wanting to learn more about weddings, my classes below are designed to help.
IN-PERSON OR ONLINE.
I offer both online and in-person classes. For online sessions, we connect through a video call so you can learn from the comfort of your home. For in-person lessons, I teach in the Orillia, Ontario area at a variety of local venues/cafes, often meeting over a warm beverage.
Learn What Matters.
With so much information out there, many beginner photographers feel stuck or unsure of what actually matters. My classes cut through the noise and focus on clear, practical instruction to give you a strong foundation and the confidence of knowing you are learning the right skills that actually make a difference.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“I took Vaughn's couples photography course earlier this year, and it was a fantastic experience. Vaughn is incredibly knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with and learn from. I had been struggling with posing, but I learned several techniques that I will carry with me moving forward. I highly recommend this course!”
