The Magic Of Photography

Photography is often considered the art of capturing moments in time, but it is more than that; it is the power to freeze those moments, and in doing so, unveils a world full of magic that transcends mere images. Photography is a unique art form that allows us to relive moments, tell stories, express emotions, and
explore the beauty and diversity of our world.

At its core, photography is an extraordinary time machine! It enables us to freeze the passing of time, holding onto fleeting moments that would otherwise slip through our fingers.

Photography is a universal language, one that communicates across boarders and languages. It is a medium that can convey complex emotions and stories without the need for words.

Photography’s magic lies in its ability to unleash our imaginations, and allows us to see the world through a different lens – capturing the extraordinary in the ordinary! It empowers us to recognize and appreciate the beauty and wonder that surrounds us daily.

About Your Instructor, Lara Koppmann

As a mom of two boys (now teenagers and headed to college) I know how fleeting time can feel. I struggled to be in the moment as time felt like it was on fast-forward.

But no matter what, I always made sure to document things in our life once a month. Every year I photographed us all together (no matter how much fighting, arguing, or Xanax I had to endure).

My images are some of my most prized possessions, and I want the same for you! Whether you are a parent, hobbyist, or someone looking to take their creative eye up a notch, this series is for you.

With just a little practice, you will be able to take your images from good to great!
