Artful Parenthood:

Create a Photography Practice for Self-Expression, 

Connection, and Memory-Making

A multi-module online course that will help you go from feeling like you lack the time, skills, and creativity to artfully document your family to feeling confident and inspired as you become your family’s storyteller.


Not sure if you're good fit? Already feeling stretched thin?

I feel you! As parents, our lives are filled with multi-tasking, context-switching, and a general sense of time scarcity. It's so hard to work against that default way of operating. Sometimes it feels like a luxury to pause and ask yourself "What is most important to me? How can I find more beauty in my everyday? How can I move through today/this week/this month with more intention?" The purpose of this class is to show you a path and get you some tangible skills in creating a photography practice that fulfills you.

This course is for you if...

You have a busy, beautiful life that feels like it's happening too fast and you yearn to capture more of it,

You have a tangled mess of iPhone snapshots but no real direction in what and how you photograph your life,

You're drawn to photography and want to learn the basics to better your skill set,

You're curious about what it would look like to start a creative project of regular photo documentation,

You want to do something for yourself that isn't tied to your other obligations, something that is just yours.

"Allison has helped me channel my artistic curiosities in such a safe and supported way! She's generous with her knowledge and always meets me where I am with her warm, open approach to teaching and coaching. I feel recharged and excited for an outlet into the creative parts of myself that so often get shelved by competing priorities in life."

You may be wondering...
  • How much time should I plan to commit to the course?
    The amount of time you commit can be scaled by your level of interest, but I designed the course to be a 15-day course where you spend about 45 minutes each day.
  • When does the class happen?
    Instant access to all course materials happens after you make your purchase.
  • What if I don't have a nice camera?
    You don't need anything fancy - any kind of camera will work! I designed the class for folks who want to shoot with an actual camera (compact point and shoot, DSLR, mirrorless, film), but phone cameras will work as well.
  • Does the course require that I shoot in manual?
    Not at all! My goal is to give you a comfortable understanding of the elements that make a good photo. For folks who want to go deeper, I offer an additional module called Moving Beyond Auto Mode that covers everything you need to know to be able to shoot in manual (available at checkout).
  • What kind of instructor support is in this course?
    Each module will have a space for people to ask questions and I will directly respond to questions within one week.
  • Can I have a private Q&A or coaching session with you?
    I will be offering a limited number of coaching call spots for individuals who know they'll want more support. You can select the upgrade at checkout.
