The Camera Course

In our beginning photography workshops, this is one of the biggest skills our students ask to learn.

Depending on your comfort level, you can achieve this several different ways!

Not comfortable playing with the buttons and k***s? Move your object a bit and zoom in.

Feeling a little more brave? Try out some of your camera settings (that’s what they’re there for)!

Ready to go all in? Manipulating your aperture is the key to that dreamy blur.

Which option are you going to choose? 📷

Hey! I'm Tove (rhymes with Nova) and this is the face I make when I give my son a kiss but get a mouthful of boogers in return. 🤢

I started out as a graphic designer, art directed photoshoots in New York and California, and then got pregnant with my first child and that whole life came to a screeching halt.

After a few years of motherhood, I felt like "Tove" was lost. I knew I wanted to still stay home with my babies but also needed something outside of being "Mama."

Photography became that thing and I decided I wanted to take it from a hobby to a business, Tove Hansen Photography. It took a long time for me to feel confident saying photography was my job and it really wasn't until I started teaching photography workshops that I could claim that title and believe it.

In the five years since I officially launched my business, serving clients, teaching others, and cheering on fellow photographers has been my jam.

The best part? I get to do it with one of my best friends, With Alli Miller . She's the genius behind this shot and the other half of The Camera Course.

All that to say, if you've ever felt a little lost or uncertain, we see you! And we're here to help you find your way back. 🤍

Hello!! We're Tove (sounds like Tova) & Alli! Photographers, teachers, and friends. We started teaching The Camera Course in 2018 after connecting through photography and realizing there was a need for easy to understand, bite-sized (yet thorough) photography classes. Believe it or not, we went into business together after meeting *ONE* time for a quick photo session.

That's a bit about us, now we want to hear about you! Do you have a camera? Are you a professional photographer? Are you team Nikon, Canon, or Sony? (or other...let us know who we forgot!)
