What people are saying!
I am a total beginner and was shooting on auto mode. Sarah went through the basics and made very thing make sense! I now feel I have the tools to explore shooting in manual and take better photographs. Sarah took the time to help tweak things to suit my camera. If you are thinking about doing it… Do it! You won’t regret it.

"After much searching I found The Photo Coach. I had never used a camera at that point and had no idea what to expect from it. The training was easy to follow gave step-by-step simple instructions as well as a group to join with Sarah on hand to help and answer any questions. Since doing the coaching I've been able to use my camera with confidence and upgrade it without worrying about not knowing how to use it. With The Photo Coach it's simple to learn any camera."

"I've loved this online course! It's been really nice to work through it in my own time and have all this information available to me to go back and recap any time. I feel much more confident in my understanding of how to use the camera on a manual setting, I just need to practice, practice, practice now! Sarah, you are a wonderful teacher, thank you.
