can we use a point & shoot camera or does it need to be an SLR camera? thanks
Hi Elaine,
You are welcome to use a point and shoot. There is a composition element of each class that works for any camera. There will be a portion of each class and many of the assignments that will not be relevant for a point and shoot. I’ve had p&s users in class before. You are welcome to give it a try and if it doesn’t work out for you I can happily refund your purchase.
What are the dates for this class? I’m not seeing those anywhere.
Hi Terri,
I’ve updated the page with dates! We’ll start class on March 15th.
When is the class and what is the cost?
Class begins March 15th. Cost is $60.
Will you be offering the kids version of this class anytime soon?
I’ll be offering Your Kids Captured Through The Lens in May.
Will you be offering your Exposure class again soon?
I’ll be offering Exposure in June of this year.
How do your classes work? Do we have to be online to view at certain times or can we go view anytime? Do I just go to this site to sign up? I know I have alot of questions…sorry. This is new and exciting for me!!
So glad you are excited Deb!
Class lessons are posted each week for six weeks. You can sign in and upload your photos at any time. When registration is live you will be able to sign up here. I’ll also be sending an early registration link to newsletter subscribers.
Keep asking your questions! I’m here to help!
Hi Katrina, I’m very new to learning about taking better pictures. Just got a new SLR camera and want desperately to learn to use it well…and not just in auto mode. Is this class self-paced? How long will the content be available? Just for the 6 weeks or some weeks after? Is there a maximum registration number? Thanks so much!
Hi Becki!
The class begins on March 15 and a new lesson is posted each week for 6 weeks. You will join others in the forum and gallery during those six weeks for conversation, feedback, and help. There will be a live webinar (Date TBD) and a chat during our time together. I am limiting registration to maximize the time I can spend with each student.
To be among the first to know when registration opens, sign up for the newsletter list. The registration link will go to newsletter subscribers first in a special email on Sunday.
Please let me know if you have other questions!
How does your kids captured thru your lens differ from this one? I probably won’t be able to take both so I’m trying to decide if I should take this one or wait for the kids one in May. Thanks !
Hi Jenni,
Your Kids covers working with your kids in creative, fun ways as well as different types of photos to capture.
Your Life focuses on using your camera most effectively. We move through all of the buttons and dials to get you confidently shooting in manual mode.
Thanks for the quick reply. I think I’ll be signing up. I’m really excited !
How long are your videos available to students after the 6 week course? I find life gets in the way during workshops like these and I sometimes fall behind. If it is limited to only 6 weeks, I won’t be able to sign up. Thanks for the info… sounds like such a great course!
Hi Jane!
The videos will be available indefinitely. I’m working on making them downloadable, but don’t have that quite in place yet.
I completely understand how life can step into things during class!
That’s amazing news that they are available forever. I’d love to download too if you got that up and going. I think I will be signing up!
I would love to take this class but I just can’t take on anything else this spring. Will you be offering this class again during this year? And can you give us an idea of what other classes you may be offering this year, so that I can better budget my time and money. Thanks.
I will be offering this class again. Most likely the fall. I’ll have a schedule for the year up later this spring.
You can expect to see these classes this year:
Your Kids Captured Through The Lens (May)
Exposure (June)
Your Life Captured Through the Lens (Sept)
Your Holidays Captured Through The Lens (December)
I’ll be working on keeping registration in the $60 range except for Your Holidays which will have a super special Holiday price!
I’ll be adding two new classes that I can’t share just yet! Soon though
Just registered for this class. I hope I have done everything right. I am really really REALLY looking forward to this class!
Thanks Vivian! I’ll double check. Excited to get things started!
I have a dslr and know how to use the manual setting, manually set focal points, and shoot in RAW but still have a hard time coming up with sharp pictures. I feel weak in the compostition area. Would this still be a good class for me or is there another one you would recommend?
Jenell -
Cute dog
We have a yorkie too!
I think this class will sharpen (
) Some of your skills and begin to tap into composition for you. Currently this course is my best match for what you are describing.
If it doesn’t meet your needs I’m happy to refund your money.
Hi Katrina,
I can’t wait for the class to start! I’ve been interested in photography since highschool – and maybe even before that…. I absolutely LOVE taking pictures! I’ve played around with the colour, focus, and flash settings on my previous digital camera, just to see what effect the different settings would have on my pictures.
This past Christmas I treated myself to a new camera. Now, I want to move away from the automatic settings and actually understand what I’m doing. I’ve mostly been playing with the zoom and seeing how high I can take it while still keeping my subject in crisp focus. But I want to learn more about how to use the different aperture and focal length settings, as well as how to set up the camera for shooting in different lighting conditions.
A friend of mine recommended this course after taking it last Spring. She found it very interesting and extremely useful! I can’t wait to start shooting!
Danielle
Awesome Danielle!
Tell your friend thank you. We are going to have fun!
This is FABULOUS and congratulations, Katrina
Too much on my plate right now, but I’ll be signing up for the September course, for sure!!
Hello
This looks very interesting to me. Will there be printouts of each class?
Hi Janet!
Yes it does.
Each of the six lessons includes a 9-10 page pdf that can be printed.
Perfect timing Katrina! I just bought myself a new DSLR last week and your class will be a great refresher. Looking forward to getting back in the shooting mode.
Will you be doing this again soon? Any chance of a wait list for this one? Our email was down, and I missed this opportunity, but really want to do the class!!
Will this class be held around Nov…or January?
Hi Cortney,
This class will run from September 18 through October 30th. I’ll be offering it again in 2013, but haven’t set a date just yet.
Do you have the dates/times for the live events? That will help me determine if I can take the class at this time.
thanks!
Hi Alex,
There are two live events. I don’t have dates and times yet. For this class I’ll be putting a poll out to all students to see what works best for most people. I always attempt to record the events to make them available for everyone. I make them available to everyone. In the event the recording fails, I record something similar for those not able to attend.
I live in Europe but would love to take the class, would the time difference be a problem for me?
Thanks
Hi Dena,
The time different shouldn’t be a problem. We have two live events that are recorded, so you will still have access to them. Otherwise, all of the information is in downloadable pdfs. The forum and the gallery are open 24/7 as well.
Please let me know if you have other questions.
Awe!! I missed signing up for Your Life! I so need this class. I did not see all the questions and answers about it and wasn’t sure I could take the class since I work, but I find out that will not be a problem. I hope you have another class soon!! I have a 5 week old granddaughter and 3 yo grandson and a camera that will take awesome pictures, but I need some training in how to use it. This looks like just what I need.
Jo, get in touch with me today and I can get you all signed up through the backdoor

Hi, I’m living in France and I would love to follow this class;
is the registration closed now, and is there another class session soon?
Thanks
Hi Nadia,
Thanks for your interest! The class registration is now closed. I’ll be offering Your Life Captured Through The Lens in the first half of 2013. Your Holidays Captured Through The Lens is the next class that I will offer.
Hi! I’m very interested in this class, it says begins in September, have I missed registration?
We started last week Shasta. Send me an email at katrina at katrinakennedy dot com if you are still interested.
I too have been waiting to sign up for this class. The page I open kept saying “registration coming in Septeber, but it was already September. I kept waiting and then when I received an email it said that day was the last day but when I went to click on the link it said OOPS. I am so confused to find out the class has already started when I have been eyeing this page waiting for registration to open. Today is September 26th and it still says “coming in September.” How did I miss it? LOL I sent a reply to the newsletter several days ago but have heard no response. Maybe the reply doesn’t work when coming from your emails. ???
Sharon Reynolds
Check your email Sharon
I just sent you a response! My apologies for missing your first email.
Katrina, I hope you received my last email. In the second to the last one I had a typing error. I went to CKC in Cincinnati this past weekend and I’m inspired. I love your 365 and blog. Behave a wonderful day.
I too was waiting for the September class…I get your daily Prompts but never saw this class mentioned anywhere. Too late? When will you do your next one?
Hi there Lynda. Thanks for leaving a comment. We are getting started on our third week. Send me an email if you are still interested in registering and I’ll take care of things for you. katrina at katrinakennedy dot com
Classes are always listed for a week or so in the side bar of the email. Everyone on the list also receives a discounted price email a few weeks before class begins.
My apologies that this one slipped by for you.
I JUST found the information on the “Your Life Caputured Throught the Lens” class and was terrible disapointed to learn I missed it. Do yo plan on offering the class again in 2013, and if so, do you have any idea when? Aloha
JC, I’ll be offering it in february. I hope you can join us!
I just saw that you have this class listed for Feb. 2013. I’m so excited yo’ll be teaching it soon! Several people have recommended this class to me. When does registration open? Thanks.
Thanks for stopping by Rachel! Registration will open in mid January Rachel. Newsletter subscribers get first notice.
Hi Katrina,
I see that this class will be offered this year.. I’m very excited, and this will be the first time I’m taking your class. I found you randomly on a forum and read your explanation on Aperture and thought to myself, “wow, she makes it so simple!” So here I am! Please, when does registration start? Thanks!
Hi Katrina – I just signed up for Your Kids but would also like to take this one to become more adept with my camera. When will this one be starting?
Hi Marina,
This class will start in March, right after Your Kids finishes. You’ll get a special discount price at the end of Your Kids! So glad you’ll be joining me.
I see the registeration is closed to this class…is there anyway to do a late registeration ?
Hi Dana,
The registration opens on February 5th with class beginning March 5th! You aren’t late at all. Subscribe to the email list for a little extra discount!
Awesome ! Thanks, I’m really looking forward to taking the class.
Hi Katrina,
just wondering how to register for your class. I know registration “opens” today, but I didn’t see anything in/on the daily newsletter as far as how to register and pay. Looking forward to it
Hi Lauren,
I’m working out a few technical issues and then registration will open. Daily emails will have a link that leads you to the sales page. Thanks for your patience.
Hi Katrina, I get your daily “Grab your 365 Photo Prompt” email,is this the newsletter? I really would love to join this class that you have starting on 3/5, is the registration open yet or am I looking in th wrong place? This sounds so exciting!
Hi there Tamera,
Registration will open on the 10th. We had to push it back a few days to make sure everything was in order. You are on the right mailing list to the get the discount!
Awesome! I can’t wait. Will you by chance talk about different lenses? I have a Canon Rebel Xti with the stock 18-55mm lens. I’d love any suggestions you may have for another type of lens to work with. We’ve got a family vacation planned to Hawaii this summer and I’d love to be able to take some great shots.
We definitely cover lenses! And you can ask anything you want about them in the class forum!
Katrina, I took your Holiday class and enjoyed it very much. I would like to sign up for Life Through the Lens class. Where can I do that?
Hi Charlotte!
Registration will open tomorrow (2/12) right on this page. You’ll see a BUY NOW button appear.
Check your email first though. Past class members and newsletter subscribers will receive a special link!
Katrina, I am still not seeing the buy button in the newsletter or on this page for the class….I don’t want to be a pain, but I don’t want to miss signing up for the class either!! Has it been posted and I’ve missed it somehow ? Thanks !
Dana, check your email
I am wanting to sign up for this class but I can’t find the “buy now” button – can you guide me to where it would be?
It’s there now!
Hi, I don’t have a DSLR but the camera I have does have a manual option I think and an aperture and shutter priority mode. Does this work for this course?
Hi Melissa,
With manual options this class will be helpful. There will be a few dSLR settings you won’t be able to take advantage of, but you will definitely be able to make the most of your camera!
Hi, Katrina. I’m already registered for the 3/5 class and can’t wait to get started! When I registered there was a webpage that asked us to share what we hoped to learn from the class, but I didn’t have time to answer right then. Now I can’t find that page. Would you send me the link, please? Thanks.
Hi Rachel,
In the menu bar select Your Classes. You can then sign in and will be able to see the main classroom page for Your Life Captured Through The Lens.
