FAQ

What do I need to provide?

Just a place for the kids to sit and a table to set my small portable backdrops on. I will bring all the supplies needed for the class.

Can we choose our own themes?

Absolutely! I will work with you to make sure my supplies match your event and age group. I also have a costume theme add on!

What does the set up and clean up process look like?

I will arrive 15 minutes early to set up the backdrops and all the materials. I stay about 15 minutes after to make sure everything is packed up and looking the way it did before I arrived.

What is the process for the class

During the workshop, children learn the basics of photography and camera use, followed by a short Q&A to build confidence. Students then split into small groups — one group creates a mini photo scene with props and takes their picture while the other designs their decorative photo frame. Groups rotate so everyone participates in both activities, and we finish by assembling their printed photo into their custom frame before cleanup.
