Room by Room: Simple Natural Light Portraits

I love D'Ann's photography. Have been following her for some time now and when I saw the breakout I couldn't resist to learn from her. I had been guessing how she creates certain images, but now was a chance to learn first hand. And the breakout didn't disappoint! D'Ann is a great instructor who didn't hold back any of her secrets. I could't be happier about the content in this class, so many amazing shooting videos with explanations as well as editing videos, they are priceless! This is a must-have breakout if you love D'Ann's photos and would like to learn how to do that magic yourself! It is absolutely worth every penny.

Such a great session!!! I'm only about 1/2 way through as I was a late signer upper - but loving it! Thank you!

Thank you to D'Ann for another amazing breakout! I was wondering whether or not I would learn much from this breakout after having taken the Understanding Light workshop but I definitely learned quite a lot and had other information I learned in Understanding Light reinforced. I loved that she showed us how she edits her images not just using presets and actions. Some of the techniques really blew me away. I am really excited to put all I learned into practice.

This was an amazing course to take. D'Ann is such a wonderful photographer to learn from. I am looking forward to taking any new classes she has to offer.

D’Ann!
Your beautiful kind soul was as beautiful as your photos.... thanks for helping me grow

I wish I would have bought this breakout sooner! Not only has D'Ann opened my eyes to new locations to shoot in my home, but she has shown me that it is possible to shoot in areas with little light and lots of clutter. D'Ann is a wonderful teacher, and the behind the scene's videos are worth the piece of this breakout alone!

I've thoroughly enjoyed this breakout! It's got me more excited to shoot indoors and that is something that I haven't felt in a long time. lol

Fantastic course! Thank you

This is my first breakout and I am blown away by D’Ann’s mastery not only of photography but also her teaching abilities. This is the type of a teacher everyone wants – honest, positive, motivating yet skilled at passing the information in a constructive way to encourage growth through every one of her timely responses. Thank you D’Ann!

I bought this breakout while taking Mastering Manual Exposure and what an AMAZING complement to class! D'Ann was so warm, knowledgeable, and generous with her feedback. I am SO impressed that I am totally convinced to do live breakouts in the future-- especially with D'Ann if she ever has another. However, whether or not you were able to do this breakout live, I highly recommend it. Having the room exercises organized by D'Ann is so helpful! I'm not sure if you'll see this D'Ann but THANK YOU!

I think my big thing is I love, absolutely LOVE your images. your out of camera is amazing and the warm paintery (new word) feel as well as the magic you put in post is amazing! I took this class to see how you do that . I only work in Lightroom (other than adding watermarks or head swaps in photo shop) so seeing all you do in Lightroom that I didn't know about blew my mind, the gradient the masking that I didn't know, I need to keep replaying. I haven't touched the photo shop side of your edits but hav added the gradients of light to dark and dark to light and see a huge difference already.
My goal before was to just be clean, tact sharp and correct color to the real moments I try to capture between the posed shots the family books me for, but you got me balancing on beds, desks, bathtub edges, and since I am trying to learn studio lighting- as I natural light photographer I felt like I was giving up, but seeing that you use it as well gives me more self confidence in learning and creating and improving. thank you!

Wonderful, eye-opening breakout! Great videos, clear explications. My favorite is the garage shoot, such brilliant idea! Thank you!

This breakout has been simply delightful. D'Ann shares excellent content and knowledge on how to capture and edit beautiful images with what and whom you have at home. Natural light is such an interesting animal and it's such a blessing to learn more about it from someone who seems to have absolutely mastered it. Thanks for sharing your heart, D'Ann!

D’Ann’s teaching background is SO apparent in her presentations. All communication is clear and easily understood. The visuals are breathtaking. Listening to her is like finding an old friend, only better!

I was delighted with the awesome content. I have LOVED every minute and learned SO much! I primarily shoot families and senior portraits but wanted to expand my skill set. I was drawn to the breakout by your images. They are full of wonderful moody shadows and depth. Also the editing videos were such a treat. I have been wandering around my house, tryin different lenses and learning. You make shooting indoors look effortless. Thank you, I still have much to learn!

So much great information

Such an incredible breakout by DAnn! Her work is magical and so inspiring and her breakout is packed with some amazing content! One of the best things in the breakout are her lovely edits. Grab it today and its only $25!!

D'Ann's breakout was really wonderful - there really is something for everyone at all levels to learn here. I always enjoy watching others shoot and learning through their process, but I REALLY love learning editing tips and tricks and this breakout is full of D'Ann's editing wisdom and expertise. Her portraits and photos are breathtaking and this is well worth the investment! Thank you, D'Ann!

D'Ann, thank you so much for this invitation into your home and your process. You are so inspiring and utterly talented. You made everything look so simple and effortless, but most importantly, you are very engaging and approachable during the entire breakout. Looking forward to using all the tips and tricks I've learned from your videos. This was my first purchase from Click Photo School, and if the other instructors are as great as you, I'll definitely continue investing in future breakouts and workshops.

More classes like this please!! I thought this was an inspirational class for any level. Everything was so well put together and D'Ann shared some really creative editing techniques using custom overlays that I look forward to trying. I loved how she shared her editing process without using actions or presets. So glad I purchased this breakout!

I absolutely LOVED this breakout! I have never really enjoyed shooting in my home and struggled to find the right light/angles to make me happy with not only the story behind it, but the beauty within the image itself. This class helped me bridge that gap. From shooting to editing, this class had everything I needed to light my creative spark from home. I learned so much from the editing portion that I have been inspired to dive deeper into Photoshop as a way to enhance the natural strengths in these types of photos. Thank you, D'Ann!!

D'Ann is an incredible photographer and a talented teacher and she has put together an amazing Breakout.

It goes without saying that D'Ann is an incredible artist. But what I found especially wonderful about this breakout was discovering her clear, actionable teaching style. D'Ann explains everything so well that you understand exactly how she has achieved the images she shares. I found myself rewatching segments to really lock that information away in my mind. There is so much to learn from someone that has mastered light as well as D'Ann has and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the class.

Absolutely amazing breakout!! I have learned to appreciate the light coming into through my windows instead of being frustrated by it. I am doing a 365 Photo Challenge of my kids and this breakout was a much needed breath of fresh air to reignite my creativity and keep that momentum going. I have taken so many new favourite portraits of my children and even jumped into a few of them myself. Thank you so much for all your tips and trick in post processing. I am a professional photographer for about 4yrs and have been blown away by the DIY hacks D'Ann shows us, just incredible through and through. Thank you so much for giving us these nuggets of wisdom.

I am taking "Understanding Light" with D'Ann and was so excited to grab Room by Room from her as well. Photographing in my own home can feel so uninspiring at times and the push to view the space/light differently has been amazing. I love D'Ann's teaching style - so straightforward and thorough. It makes it so easy to put it into practical application! ❤️

This breakout is awesome!! It has pushed me to shoot in places I normally never would have thought to and taught me so much about how to use directional light! People of all skill levels can find a benefit to this class. Best of all, D'Ann is such a good teacher with such a big heart! You can tell she loves helping others. She took the time to get to know each of us and really encouraged us to share our photos and questions. Take ANY breakout that this amazing woman teaches! It will be money well spent!

I have purchased many many breakouts in the past, this is by far one of my favorite.
It is worth every penny and packed with information.
I've started trying the new things I learned from D’Ann’s and it's amazing to see my growth!
I highly recommend this breakout!!

I loved this breakout. D'Ann is such a generous person and it is reflected in her artistry. I learned so much room to room and in her edits. I highly recommend this beautiful breakout. She is such a gifted photographer and educator!

I am very much a beginner and only engage in photography as a hobby. Without a camera, software, or any professional tools, I still gleaned so much from this class!! It was amazing to me how D'ann interacted so well with such as diversely skilled classroom (and so many students). I hesitated to sign up since it was my first and only photography class and I often struggle to navigate my way through virtual learning, however D'ann was extremely organized and made it an error-proof/user friendly class in that regard. I have somewhat high standards for medical professional and educators since I am in that field myself, however I was completely blown away by how personable and knowledgeable D'ann came across not only in the curriculum but in the feedback as well. She gave higher level feedback to the higher level students and she also modified the feedback for a beginner like me. She was able to take into consideration the tools and skill level of all of her students. That's really impressive!! I especially enjoyed that her discussion board was open to everyone, as it allowed me to learn from my classmates. I would recommend taking any class from D'ann since it was so well done! I don't think you could go wrong!!

I have admired D'Ann's work for.a long time and always wanted to learn from her. When this breakout was announced I was so excited! D'Ann takes you through every room in her home, covering the lighting challenges and benefits you might expect to see in each room and how to work with it, as well as how to work the room as you shoot. I love watching the behind the scenes and editing videos. This breakout is a steal for only $25!

This was my first breakout class and I LOVED it! Even though I didn't participate as much as I had hoped (only because I didn't have enough free time at home), I got way more than my money's worth! The exercices made me move out of my confort zone, both when shooting and in post. The videos are great, and I keep watching them over and over again as I try to edit. Finally and probably most importantly, D'Ann is extremely responsive and generous of her time. The few questions I asked or photos I posted received a reply almost instantly, even when I posted them really really late at night. I will definitely look into more classes or breakout sessions by D'Ann.

I have really enjoyed this Breakout! How she uses light to illuminate her subjects is amazing. I also really enjoyed seeing the pullbacks of how she took her pictures and seeing her post processing thought process. Having the camera settings named on the pictures was very helpful too. Her photographs, how she uses light and demonstration and explanation of everything was extremely helpful and inspiring.

Wow!! This breakout is so so good! I am speechless.
I couldn't enjoy and learn more. D'Ann is who makes this so special, she is so good teaching and she gives so much attention to all our questions.
I did other classes here and by far this is my favorite!!
I can't wait to more breakouts and workshops with D'Ann.
I would like to suggest one breakout with many edition videos. I just want more from her. :)
Thank you D'Ann!

I am a not a novice photographer but have really gotten so much out of this breakout. The materials are so well organized and D's videos are amazing. I am learning some things that I did not know and watching how she creates her gorgeous images has inspired me to run around my house with my camera. My kids are not that excited but I am getting some wonderful keepsakes and having fun. I highly recommend this breakout to anyone at any level. She is even including some info on her use of her Profoto B10 which I am super excited about having just purchased this light.

I learned so many new editing techniques that i didn't know before. D'Ann really shows you how to add the magic to your photos and take your work to the next level. Her work is so inspiring and seeing how she uses her space and photograph's her family has given me so many new ideas! This was a fantastic breakout!

D’Ann presented so much valuable material in a way that is so relatable to everyone. Her tips have made a difference in my work already! Her work is beautiful and you will not regret this purchase!

I am loving this class so much! The length of the videos is perfect and just what I needed to get a dose of creativity during a busy week of full time work, homeschooling and running after a toddler :)!! I grabbed my camera this morning, and while I had to do a little begging, I managed to get a five minute bubble bath shoot with my eight year old, SO much fun! I love shooting indoors and this class was just so inspiring and your images are absolutely gorgeous D’Anne! Thank you!!

Also I just wanted to list my favorite parts of her class: Her beautiful spirit and the gorgeous use of her sacred space. Her philosophy of photography and shooting her kids....Her creative light setups around her stunningly beautiful home. She shows how to create a red rad overlay in photoshop, the storytelling, garage portraits so adorable, bubble overlay love this edit, B10 studio lighting setup with her flower spring blissful kitchen shoot,creating radials, gorgeous dodge and burn midtones and highlights, phenomenal color overlay creations, lamp bedroom shoot with awesome bokeh overlay magical edit, and her stellar backlight shoot and edit, painting enhancing the sun beams beyond beautiful awesome creations. I Love D'Ann more than words could ever express so uber grateful and full of gratitude for this beautiful soul in our magical community.

D'Ann is in the top 1% of the most AMAZING instructors at Click Photo School!!!! Her classes are always beyond MAGICAL!!!!!! This class is a must take!!!!!!!! She is utterly PHENOMENAL!!!!! You will absolutely LOVE this AWESOME class!!!! XOXO

This was a great breakout! D'Ann is wonderful teacher, and I loved seeing how she creates the magic in her images from start to finish. It also, definitely helped me see how I could take photos in literally every room in my house by just paying attention to the light, and the placement of my subjects. The editing videos were also very helpful, as D'Ann shares both how she brings more light into her photos, as well as how she enhances the light she has already captured. I have learned a lot, and really enjoyed this breakout!!

I really love how D´ann explains all her workflow to create such magical images... she also shows every single step of editing. She is very suportive and every single questions is answered, she is great as a mentor and photographer.

This breakout was exceptional. It takes you outside your norm and very simply gives you great ideas. D'Ann is an amazing teacher and explained everything so well! I will be taking more of her classes. Thank you D!

This breakout has been such an inspiration for me! As a military family we move every few years and while our previous house had tons of beautiful natural light and huge windows, our current home has tiny windows and frustrating light. This breakout has motivated me to experiment again and try to find the light in the rooms of our current home. It is also alway so interesting to me to watch others edit. I've already learned some new techniques to try in my workflow. Thank you D'Ann!!

This has been a wonderful breakout! I’ve learned more about the light it my home and have been able to build on some of my skills!

D'Ann offers a variety of creative photo setups that anyone can adapt to their own home. She also provides detailed editing videos that accompany her shooting videos, which have been a very enjoyable bonus to the course. I am looking at light in a new way as I shoot in my favorite places throughout my house and I am thinking through shots more with an eye for how I want to edit. This has been a treat, and I know I will be referencing her videos again in the future!

This breakout was amazing! I learned so much about finding good light in my home. But the big game changer was watching D'Ann set up her shots and edit them. I learned so many editing techniques. I'm excited to create some really beautiful images in my home. Thank you D'Ann!

I am so inspired. Using my home as a backdrop for life with my kids has always been a dream. I could never capture it the way I wanted. Your breakout has been incredible. Looking at lighting and angles and each room so differently now. Thank you for sharing with us.

D'Ann's classes are all amazing, and this one is no different. This class is for all levels of photographers, D'Ann is great at explaining what she is teaching, so that it's easy to understand. She has made using indoor light so much easier, and a lot of fun. It's so fun to watch her photographer her children, she brings such joy to her shoots.

This breakout is amazing! Her explanations are so in depth but at the same time so easy to understand. She is also so quick to respond to any questions in the discussions. I am definitely going back to her videos multiple times to make sure I don't miss anything! Thank you so much for such these lessons.

I've been digging into this breakout and it feels so good to be inspired. This time has left me a bit grey and not seeing the beauty around me like I normally do. Learning from D'Ann has been a breath of fresh air. Thank you for this amazing class!

I loved this breakout! a lot of amazing advices to improve my photography skills :)! Now, I have just to practice ;) ... Thanks you D'Ann.

A wonderful break out class. I found it very inspirational and informative . I have just been learning Photoshop during this stay set home time and felt this class was extremely helpful. Thank you for offering this.

This breakout has been amazing. Just the instruction on light and how to see it and the different types is enough to make it worth it — I have been paying attention to how light hits my subject so much more already! I also love that it is inspiring me to see my home in a different more beautiful way. Watching her edit has also made me realize there’s sooooo much potential in an image I just have to learn to see it. I’m amazed by all her edits teach me.
Then of course there’s the interaction! I was so excited to be able to do this live and talk to the instructor, but I took some of the suggestions she gave me and reshot something and was so impressed by how big the change was with that small tweak !
It has been invaluable for me and I would recommend this to anyone. I believe it would reignite any creative rut just simply working room by room finding the magic in your very living space you have been missing daily!

Oh my goodness I love this course! Im not sure why I thought it was a good time to take this class while unexpectedly homeschooling 4 kiddos and working a full-time job, but I am obsessed and have tried to steal away whenever I can to soak it all up. I got your email about the drawing for a free hour of your time and I was so excited I ran downstairs to tell my hubby. I have been spending hours soaking up your editing videos and trying to practice what I am learning from you with my own images and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have some one on one help. Thanks so much for taking the time to put this course together and for sharing your family and home with us. =)

Within days I have already seen a dramatic change in my photography skills. I’m so thankful for this class and a wonderful instructor that has been more than willing to answer any questions!

Can’t wait to jump into this breakout. Really hoping to pick up my camera this weekend, it’s been a while since I’ve taken any images, and I miss it.

This breakout has been so valuable to my growth as a photographer. I've watched all of the videos and can't wait to see what I can create in my home!

I am loving this breakout. It is forcing me to move throughout my house and to see different places in my house as opportunities for beautiful portraits. D'Ann is an incredible teacher and explains things simply so that they are easy to understand. She is so complimentary and is incredibly responsive to all of our questions and submissions. I'm sure to take more of D'Ann's courses in the future.

I love your caring approach coupled with your talents.

This is my first time taking a class with D'Ann. All I can say is WOW!!! Not only is she a great photographer but also a talented instructor. She knows how to communicate what she knows with her students in a simple yet concise way.

This was a fun breakout, especially while we are stuck inside at home during the COVID crisis. D'Ann's work is incredible, and I appreciate her taking the time to share her knowledge with us!

Hi D'Ann, your work and technique has inspired me tremendously. You've helped me to rethink light and shadows. I truly enjoyed this breakout. -Vanessa Guzzo

I’m enjoying this breakout! I wish I had joined at the beginning. I haven’t shared an image yet but there are definitely things I will come back to! I can truly say, for the first time ever, I am disappointed that I have windows in my garage!

You’re the most brilliant artist I’ve seen in a v long time. Need you to mentor the f outta me freal. Thanks.

I learned something new in each section of this generous break out class. I loved seeing how D'Ann sets up, shoots and edits. Her images are gorgeous, and she's a calm, clear and skilled teacher!

Such a good breakout! I’ve been wanting to learn about how to better capture my family inside our home and this is perfect for that!

I have been thoroughly enjoying this breakout and would highly recommend it! Having taken D’Ann’s previous breakout and learned so much from it, I knew I just had to sign up for this one as well. The PDF is full of stunning images as well thoughtful tips and techniques for achieving beautiful portraits in your own home. I have loved watching the behind the scenes videos and get insight into D’Ann’s thought process for setting up shots to match her vision...for me, that has been incredibly helpful. Her editing videos have already given me new tricks to add to my toolbox. And on top of all of that D’Ann has been incredibly active on the live forum, answering every question and providing thoughtful and useful CC on participants’ images. It’s been a true pleasure to learn from her and I will certainly sign up for any future breakouts or workshops D’Ann offers! Thank you D’Ann!

This breakout has been incredibly inspiring! So much information for tips on finding beautiful light in your own home! D’Ann is so helpful with her participation giving tips and feedback. I feel the information gained in this breakout will inspire me for a long time. In a time when we are trying to make the most of our abundant time at home this knowledge inspires me to create. I have seen such a difference trying out all of the information so clearly presented in the breakout. My shooting has improved immensely, and I feel I have found so many new places to shoot in my home that I love. I can’t wait to watch the editing videos and try out the techniques!

D’Ann’s breakout is wonderful! As a beginner she helped so much with general photography questions, light and editing. She presented so many creative ways to photograph in the home. Her videos are easy to follow and implement. You won’t be disappointed in this class!

This breakout is incredible! Every photographer (beginner to advanced) can learn something new and be inspired by this class! I enjoyed watching D'Ann walk us through her home and showing us how she creates her beautiful work. She covers many different types of light and setups and is such a talented teacher with how she presents the information. Her editing videos are easy to follow and I've learned so many new things to add to my own workflow when editing. I highly recommend this course for anyone looking for some inspiration. Thanks for pouring your heart into this breakout, D'Ann. You are truly so talented and have created something really special for everyone that's lucky enough to learn from you!

WOWOWW I have just finished this breakout , D'Ann you are a breath of fresh air..Thank you for taking the time so share your skills and technique. You have a beautiful family and a amazing talent. I'm only starting out on my photography journey and am in awe of your creativity. I have picked up so much from this breakout . Its left me busy in my creative mind and also wanting to learn more. Happy mothers day . And thank you for sharing.

This breakout is so incredibly valuable! D'Ann provides tips and inspiration for capturing beautiful moments in your own home. I love photographing outside in the beauty of nature, but home is where my heart is and I've been wanting to document that more. D'Ann's breakout has brought new life to my 365 project. Definitely a must for creating beautiful images all around your home!

D'Ann's breakout is fantastic. You will suddenly see new and creative ways to photograph in your home. Her videos are full of information and easy to follow and implement. Her beautiful work is also inspiration in itself. If you're wondering about this class, take it, you won't be disappointed.

I am really enjoying this breakout from D’Ann. Just looking at her photography in her home in the course is inspiring. She gives great, gentle feedback and motivates us to grow! The editing videos are also fantastic in helping me learn how to add to the vision I have captured.

I loved this breakout from D'Ann! She brings just the right mix of pure inspiration and technical advice to ensure that everyone can walk away having learned something. I particularly appreciated a look at the behind the scenes - the set-ups, the approach D'Ann takes to composing her frames and the way she explores multiple angles in each situation. Through these videos and all of her rooms, D'Ann finds a way to share a really broad array of lighting, shooting and editing techniques. It's hard to pick a favorite room, but I really loved the bedroom lamp light one because it's just so tricky to do well and D'Ann's images are magical!

D'Ann has been one of my favorite photographers since l found her on Instagram about two years ago. I admire her work and she's been an inspiration. This is my second breakout with her, and l can't believe how much l have learnt in less than a week about light and editing. So, besides being an amazing photographer she's a wonderful teacher too. l am so happy to be part of this class because this breakout is so inspiring and has so much to offer to any hobbyist or professional photographer.

D'Ann's breakout is priceless! It has helped me discover the light in my house in such a new and exciting way! The combination of the videos and pdf materials has left me feeling inspired to shoot every day. D'Ann is an amazing teacher and I'm so thankful for being able to learn from her breakout and to experience her amazing talent and work. Thank you, D'Ann!

The timing of this breakout couldn't be better!! D'Ann is so incredibly talented and opens your eyes to so many things! So many awesome tips and tricks. If you want to expand your creativity at home run don't walk to buy this!

This breakout has been just what I needed to get out of a rut! With all of the pandemic craziness in the world it's been hard for me to pick up my camera. D'Ann's lessons are in bite sized chunks of goodness and have helped me to look at each room in our home so differently. I'm finding new light sources and angles that I've never considered. The videos and PDF guide are amazing - worth every penny!

Within 15 minutes of starting I’m already seeing a difference, this breakout is amazing. I’ve always wanted to feel like I could capture photos in my home. Thank you so much for allowing us into your home and teaching this great class.

I'm halfway through this breakout and loving it. It's my first breakout with D'Ann and I love how she breaks down the information into bite sized bits. It makes it easy to digest, try out the techniques and reference back. She gives you practical assignments to work with the rooms you've got and embrace your home. Watching D'Ann's creative process is inspiring!

Thank you so much for this incredible class, D’Ann!! I am so inspired by your beautiful photos, and your very clear instructions to produce the look you have achieved. This course gives me the excitement to experiment with intentional setups, especially in kids’ bedrooms, to get that peaceful, warm feel that I love in your work. I’m going to play with changing my white balance, to use side lamp light beautifully. I also loved your videos, which really brought to life your points! I must add that your farm and family are so beautiful!
I highly recommend your class!! I am refreshed and inspired to take my work to the next level!! Wish I could work with you in person, D’Ann. It would be life-changing!!

D'Ann's breakout isn't just beautiful to work through, it is filled with inspiration for you to immediately take action and find the light and love in every room.  From storytelling to portraits, she walks you through how to use any space to create emotive images.  The editing videos are immensely helpful to show how a few intentional techniques can really elevate your voice in the final piece.  It is easy to tell the amount of heart poured into the instructional material.

D'Ann has been one of my absolute favorite photographers for a long time, and I was so excited to sign up for this breakout. She does not disappoint! Her talent and generosity comes through in every image, word, and video example. She shows you so many different ways to photograph inside (and outside!) your home, using several different kinds of light, and then shares multiple editing tips, tricks ideas to make those images even stronger. This breakout is so inspiring for all photographers, no matter what your level of experience.

I pre ordered D 'Ann's breakout and finally had a chance to dig into the materials last night! This breakout is awesome! I cannot wait to practice some of her tips and instructions on reading light and getting better portraits in the home. I know what my plans are for this weekend! I am excited to pick up my camera and shoot indoors! Thank you for putting together such an insightful breakout!

This breakout is my second time learning from D’Ann and honestly she gets me so inspired every time. The PDF and videos in this breakout are full of great tips and information on how to find & utilize beautiful light to capture stunning photos of your life inside your house. The editing videos are super helpful and easy to follow along while trying to edit your own images. As always, D’Ann is answering all our questions quickly and with great constructive feedback! I highly recommend this breakout!!

Another amazing BO from D’Ann! She is an amazing instructor and tells you all her secrets! And there’s a lot of them. This BO really gave me inspiration inside my home. I highly recommend this to all! It’s worth more than your paying. PS- her BO and her course in Understanding Light are GOLD!

This breakout is full of information and it gives amazing insights on how to use different techniques to manipulate the light that we can find every day around our home. It's a must to take the opportunity to learn through this breakout!

I’ve been taking pictures of my kids (sports mostly) for years and have somewhat taught myself, thru trial and error, what works and what doesn’t. Recently I picked up Lightroom, and as with the DSLR, was teaching myself - mainly because I couldn’t find the time after work, kids’ practices/games, and raising 4 kids. With the Coronavirus pandemic, I found myself with more free time, so I figured I’d take a course to help with my picture taking and editing abilities.

I’m just a few lessons into this breakout and I have learned so much from D’Ann in such a short period of time. I especially like how she talks you through her editing processes so you’re not left guessing why she is making a particular editing choice. She is knowledgeable and encouraging and I look forward to all the beautiful pictures my new skills will bring.

I recommend this breakout.

I love your editing and seeing your process is teaching me amazing skills to up my images. Taking this class in particular during the stay home order and home schooling allowed me to go and photograph my daughter throughout the day after watching each video and get me thinking creatively again. I have been avoiding my computer the past month but now I want to try your edits and see what I can do! This course is as awesome as your images are amazing. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you D’Ann for so much useful information: shooting technique and editing! And specially communication with each participant!
Love your photo in the kitchen! Very inspiring!

thanks again for everything!

What a great breakout! D'Ann really breaks down taking portraits in different types of light ... room by room, in a way that balances the art and technical side of photography. Her PDF and videos are wonderful done, and I learned so much that I can't wait to apply while we are still under a stay at home order.

This breakout is worth every penny! The PDF is easy to understand and the shooting and editing videos are so well thought out. I highly recommend this breakout to anyone that wants to improve their in home photography game!

I am very glad with how D'Ann exlains things, it is obvious she's a qualified teacher! :-)
The content is clear and precise, and we even get assignments and all.... I cannot ask for.more! Thanks!
A.

I really loved this breakout! I was so excited to learn how to take advantage of the spaces in my home to take pictures I will love. The PDF and videos in this course did not disappoint, giving so much information and in such an accessible way. D’Ann really is a natural teacher and despite being so brilliant in her photography, she is not intimidating in her approach to sharing pointers.
I can’t wait to put her ideas into practice at home and I would not hesitate to take any course she offers!

This breakout has seriously been one of the best I have taken. SO GOOD!! And such a bargain for all the videos and information D'Ann gives. She's amazing and I am blown away by her talent and willingness to mentor and share it with us. Her creativity is inspiring and such a wonderful shot in the arm right now during this time of quarantine. Seriously, just what I needed. Thank you D'Ann!

D'Ann's breakout is everything I needed right about now. With all of us stuck at home I was running low on inspiration and ideas. The pdf and the shooting/editing videos are packed with detailed information, D'Ann holds nothing back and shares her complete workflow.
D'Ann beautifully shows how we can make amazing portraits in the most ordinary settings! Not only she teaches how to use natural light but also how the most "dreaded" lamp light can be used to created powerful storytelling images. I will going back to this breakout many more times!

Most of my treasured moments happen in my home so having a breakout such as this is a gold mine. I am learning so much about natural light and how best to use it for candid photos and planned ones. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with all of us.

D'Ann's breakout is amazing! I've learned so much from her tips and editing videos. I highly suggest this breakout if you want to take your photography to the next level. Thank you, D'Ann!

I absolutely love this breakout! I am looking at every room in my home with new and endless possibilities now. I always felt my house was too dark to shoot in but seeing her in action in her own home in the videos plus how helpful she is with feedback to everyone in this breakout is so helpful!

I´ve followed D'Anns work for a while... Every opportunity I have to learn from her I´ll take it! This Breakout was a big surprise... She really opens her home and her heart... You can expect to learn from all her skills and talent. For me it gave me a new way to look at my house, to try and take advantage of the space I have and use it in a very artistic and beautiful way. Totally recomend this :)

The materials are incredible and I am so inspired. It feels like my home has grown as I find new places to capture our family life. Thank you D’Ann!

I just started the breakthrough class but I am already loving it. D'Ann is so quick to respond, she explains with details for you to understand. The ability to upload your pictures and having her actually review and comment on your work is everything. I look forward to the rest of the class and many other classes. I totally recommend.

Whoa Nelly, where to start...First of all, I believe that everything D'Ann creates is brilliant and just so inspiring and I have been dying to learn some of her jaw dropping techniques. Well, after reading her (gorgeous) pdf & watching her videos I am so so inspired! I have learned SO much more than I ever thought and literally cant wait to try out some of her tips and tricks. Honestly, she has made me think of new ways to capture magic and watching her editing process gained me new insight as well- pumped to try new tricks there as well! This breakout is hands down worth every penny and I couldn't recommend it enough! Get it now! The end..

From the detailed videos to the beautifully written PDF this breakout is a must! D’Ann is a wonderful teacher. I highly recommend this!

This is a must-purchase breakout! It is absolutely worth every penny and packed with tips to start shooting in every room of your home. D'Ann's work is just incredible, and I watched this breakout start to finish on the day it opened because I was feeling so inspired! D'Ann is a great teacher, and watching her work her magic is so much fun! As a breakout junkie, I can tell you that you won't regret purchasing this one!!

This breakout is packed full of awesome tips for how to get beautiful pictures in your home! D'Ann covers so much about lighting, perspective, lens choice, and editing. If you are wanting to make the most of the space that you're in, especially if you are stuck at home and can't go anywhere during this pandemic, this is such a great option to help boost your creativity!

Thanks so much for getting back with me! I decided to sign up and see what happens :)
I just have one more question, would an attachment lens for the iPhone add some of that depth and detail?
I so look forward to working with you!

Hi! I love your work. Is this the breakout where we get the sky overlays as well? Thanks for taking the time to put this together!

Hi D'Ann. I took your BO "All That We Love" and it was amazing. I am excited to see you are offering another breakout. Will I receive new content and editing/shooting videos through this BO? I am hoping to learn even more from you. Thank you!

Hi my name is Carlee Dock and I live in Colorado too! I am an EI Speech Language Pathologist and i love my job. I hope to get my PhD someday or take a different route with writing curriculum. I am interested in taking photos just for fun. I do not know a single thing about anything photography related. I am not aspiring to be a photographer. That said, I have zero skills and would like to learn a little more. I was wondering 1) if I’m not financially reliant on this hobby, then how much money should I put into it? 2) if I don’t have a camera or any editing software, then could I still use some techniques from your class with pics from my iPhone? 3) if equipment was necessary, then which devices would be the most affordable and best for learning? I know that’s a lot! Thanks in advance for your help. I reached out to you because you’re in CO and you were an educator. My parents are retired teachers and here I am a therapist, so I felt we had some common ground.
