How it works

What we teach

Know Your CameraTwo hours with your new camera — modes, focus, exposure, and the settings that actually matter. The class most people start with.

Film Photography 101Loading, metering, shooting a roll, and what happens to it in our lab. Film camera loaners available.

Editing BasicsGetting your photos off the card and into Lightroom or your phone — culling, quick fixes, sharing and printing.

Photo Walks & MeetupsEvenings and weekends around Boardman and Mill Creek. Bring anything with a lens. Free, all levels.

Private lessons

One-on-one at the store, on your camera, at your pace — an hour goes a long way. Call or text to set one up.

Groups, clubs & schools

Scouts, camera clubs, classrooms, senior centers — we’ll build a session around what your group wants to learn.
