Awestruck Photos, LLC After years behind the camera, I'm working to put you there! The hourly rate for one-on-one instruction is $100.

Awestruck Photos offers individual and group photography instruction to bring out the photographer in you! Individually tailored instruction is available and can be arranged directly with Dawn through Messenger or text. These sessions are uniquely designed based on your stated goals, using any camera including your cell phone. Some common requests include how to take better pictures, file editing

and storage systems, and tips on setting up a photography business and working with clients. You can bring a friend and get instruction for two for $150 per hour. Group events are hosted by https://virginiabeachphotographygroup.com/. Additional information for classes hosted by Virginia Beach Photography Group:

Beginner Photography classes are three hours, hold a maximum of 6 students and require a DSLR. The priority is to teach you how to use manual settings to gain technical control of your images, with a second class offering composition and perspective to produce attention grabbing photos that draw the viewer in. Meetups are two-hour guided photography gatherings of up to 12 people using any camera, including cell phones. While these are instructor-led, they offer experiential opportunities, not curriculum-driven teaching. I am a consultant for Virginia Beach Photography Group. I design, schedule, and lead the events; they handle advertising, set pricing, and manage registration.

Summer may not be officially here yet, but the heat and humidity have arrived! This morning's Beginner's Photography II class challenged us a little (like remembering to clear the condensation on our lenses) but a lot of good work on composition came out of it. This class will run again in October. Between now and then, we've got a couple of Beginner's Photography I classes and fund meetups, so check out the calendar here: https://virginiabeachphotographygroup.com/

We tried something new this weekend and had a walk about at Fort Monroe to admire the architecture. It threatened to rain us out, but we waited for a bit and had dry weather the rest of the day. And that morning cloud cover was great for lighting!

Our next event is the Beginner's Photography II class on June 6, 2026. This is a three-hour class working in manual mode and practicing composition. Registration is available here: https://virginiabeachphotographygroup.com/

Next Saturday, 4/18/2026, we've got a Beginner's Photography Class scheduled for 9am. This class will cover the exposure triangle and the part that ISO, aperture, and shutter speed play individually in achieving the perfect exposure. We'll delve into how to choose which setting to prioritize based on the image you want to produce, and how lighting and composition impact those choices. There will be practice activities, and plenty of time for one-on-one coaching. If you're ready to up your photography game, this is the foundation you need.
