Photography for people who want to take pictures good

Did you recently (6 years ago) get a new DSLR camera and lens kit from Costco? Are you afraid to experiment with manual settings because you think you’ve found your happy place in that little green square of [A]wesome? Do you just want to take great pictures of your kids, your cat, or your precious moments figurine collection? We can help!

This class has been widely requested and we’ve put together a super FUN, enlightening crash course for you to take your photos from crappy to happy and your insta feed will soon be getting double tapped faster than a…. well nevermind.

Class will include instruction, workbook, and styled hands on photoshoot with Frannie Wilson of Ampersand Studios. Learn the basics of exposure– setting your aperture, ISO and shutter speed like a pro to get the best outcome along with a touch on composition, posing, lighting and even editing your images.

Disclaimer ***This class is designed for straight up beginners… If you’re a professional photographer looking to hone your craft, this is not for you. This curriculum is designed for people who simply want to take better photos in their everyday life. We will not be talking about the business of photography. Any skill level is welcome to take the class, just be warned that you might be bored if you already know the basics.***

Better Human Book Signing by Ronda Conger – wednesday, December 16, 2015

Learn the secrets behind becoming a better human. One thing that’s not a secret? Doing so is a full-time job. It takes discipline to become a better human in your own life. Better Human is not just a book; it’s a branded movement to help you excel at everything you do in life. Whether you’re an executive, employee or entrepreneur, Better Human gives you the knowledge and direction to adjust the very fabric of your life. Ronda Conger practices what she preaches by leading, inspiring and sharing what she has learned with others. Her book and the Better Human movement will show you the way.

ABOUT RONDA CONGER

Some say she was raised by wolves, others claim truckers. No matter what her upbringing, this super woman has flourished in a male dominated industry for 22 years. Beginning in the wild, wild West of Las Vegas in 1993 with KB Homes, a top five national homebuilder, Ronda Conger, has staked her claim as the Vice President of Idaho’s largest homebuilder, CBH Homes, where she leads the CBH troops daily, overseeing all areas of the company for the past twelve years.

Her resume doesn’t stop there. As owner of a real estate company and a mining company, a board member of the St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital, and a cabinet member for the Treasure Valley YMCA, she happily serves as an active member of the Boise business community. 

It’s been rumored her high energy and passion come from shot gunning red bulls daily, but she’ll tell you it comes from her incredibly hot husband, Jim Conger (just ask her) and her two sons.

She thanks the heavens each day for this incredible journey and is so very grateful for the opportunity to serve and love all those that she comes in contact with.
