FAQ about Summer Enrichment Online Courses!

Me Ra Koh

Empowering moms to capture their kids is all about giving moms the tools they need to make time stand still, so when her little giggle erupts–the sweetest sound you’d ever heard–you know how to freeze it in time so you hear it again every time you look at the photo.

FAQ in the last 24 hours!  (you ask the BEST questions!)

In the last 24 hours of this blog post going live, we’ve had such a GREAT response that it’s posed more questions.  Here are a few of the answers and a question (second poll) for you!

1.  I’ve watched your DVD “Beyond the Green Box” and learned a lot from it. Will your “beyond the green box” course be different that the DVD? SOOOO Excited about these online courses!

A:  First, I’m SO EXCITED TOO!!!  Yes, it will. We will cover some of the main components in “Beyond the Green Box” but go much deeper on Focus Plains, creating a blurry background with ANY lens whether it’s the Kit Lens or a low f-stop lens. Over the years of teaching women, I’ve found that many have a big disconnect around the idea of focusing, depth of field, and how does Shutter Speed tie in.  In our CONFIDENCE Workshops we cover these things on a much deeper level than the DVD, and that is what I plan on doing for the online courses. I want to challenge you with fun photo exercises to so you understand all the main components of your camera and can move from understanding to creating.   If you have a chance to watch “Beyond the Green Box” it would enhance your experience in this course, but it isn’t required to do the course.

2.  I’m excited about the online Wedding Workshop!  I’m curious about the format. Will there be any live interaction like a webinar format or will it be reading and writing?

A:  Great question.  The assignments will be posted every Wednesday.  This way you have tons of time to shoot over the weekend and edit Monday and Tuesday.  I don’t want this to be a stressful process of rushing to get an assignment turned in on Monday morning.  This experience is meant to be enriching, filling you up.  Two, detailed, personal critiques will be done (one by me and one by another pro wedding photographer) and returned each week so you can build on the tips and challenges we draw out in our critiques.  I will also have a set time each week to be on the Private Forum so you can ask any questions.  And it won’t be much writing at all, more reading and shooting like crazy!  🙂

3.  They all sound fabulous! Hmmm…where to start?? Are they all going to be running at the same time, or is it possible to sign up for more than one at a time? Any discounts for signing up for more than 1??? My head is spinning!!

A:  I NEVER thought of this, and that’s why I LOVE that you asked it!!  YES, we will totally offer a discount to those of you who take more than one class this summer with exception to the CONFIDENCE Grads who will already be getting a discount if they take the “Magic Light” course as a refresher.  I’m going to offer one class at a time.  This way I don’t get overwhelmed with the critiques.  So you can try one, and then do more after you see how much you learned!

4.  I really NEED Brian’s Business Course!  Is it okay if your business is new, barely even begun?  Or would it be over my head?  When do you think this course will be offered?

A:  Brian is so pumped about empowering all of you with powerful tools that we use every week!  This course is for EVERY level of business.  If your business is super new, this course will help you get clear about your financial goals, what YOU define as success, and how to get there.  If your business is several years old, you will feel like a REFRESHING BREEZE is hitting you with a whole new way to look at your financials and determine goals for the quarter, year and more.  Be prepared to think-think-think and search your heart on what you want from your photography business!  We plan to offer this course at the end of July/early August.  So please email us at info@fioria.us to be put on a waiting list if you are interested!

Now, here is my question for all of YOU!  Will you vote today so we can best meet your needs!  If you already cast your vote on this second poll when I updated yesterday’s blog post, you don’t need to vote again.

CONFIDENCE GRADS!

Have you received my last two emails that were sent JUST TO YOU?  If not, please email us today with your updated email.  We want to catch you up on what we are offering to CONFIDENCE Grads, and you will also get the opportunity to register for these online courses before anyone else.  But we need your most recent email to make it happen.  Registration for our Summer Enrichment Online Courses will go live TO YOU ONLY end of this week!  Be prepared and send us your recent email to info@fioria.us.

Let me know in the comments if you have any more questions!  I LOVE them!

Do you have a different class idea that you would love us to teach online?  If so, post it in the comments, and if others reading along agree, have them “like it”.  If it gets enough likes, we may just offer that class up!

Excited!

    I’m super excited about the camera how To class and the lighting one! Especially The lighting one!

    I was SO excited to get the email announcing these classes! I voted for the wedding workshop since that’s what I’ve been trying to break into over the past several years, but I’m just going nowhere. I’m getting out-voted 3:1 though, but I plan on taking all classes you offer anyway! I still hope to go to a Confidence Workshop someday (please come to Pittsburg!), but until I can afford to go, this will have to do for me. 🙂

    I would love to see a class that focused on travel/vacation photography and how to get some of those fabulous shots that you do… I know you have done a few “recipes” but I can never get enough of them~ Thanks!
