“The best part of the program has been being able to upload photos and having your feedback and advice on them (always so quick, too!). And being able to see others' photos and have them see mine. I feel like there is a really community here. We are getting to know each other by having this little glimpse into each others' lives through the photos and the learning process. Thank you so much for all the time you put into it."

"I got a new camera for Christmas a year ago with the aim of taking better photos of my children, but I'd never taken it off the Auto setting and I wasn't particularly happy with the quality of the shots I was getting...too cheesy, too blurry, too dark, too bright, too busy and the list went on. I'd heard about Please Don't Say Cheese from a friend who had attended one of the workshops and so I signed up. Being an absolute beginner in photography I wasn't sure how much I would learn and retain at a 3 hour workshop, but I was amazed at how much I actually did learn and the quality of some of the shots I walked away with. Having Robyn on hand to answer questions was really helpful and the help didn't end there. Robyn continues to provide assistance via her website where you can upload pictures from the workshop for her to comment on, and a range of other post-workshop activities. I am now able to take the kinds of photos of my children that I have always wanted to. So, what have I learned? I am more aware now of how to achieve a blurred background while keeping the subject in focus, the best position for the subject in a shot, what to focus on and where to focus, how to capture sharp action shots of my kids rather than a blurred image as they dash past, how to use the available light and how to compensate for too much/too little light by adjusting settings on the camera, and how to take candid rather than cheesy shots of my little princesses...and this is only the beginning."
