Mariah Smith wants to know, “Did you received a new camera for Christmas?” This mama and professional photographer has made an art of helping to explain photography – beginning with how to use your camera.
Want to know how to actually use that fancy camera? Mariah will teach you the ins and outs of your digital SLR (the ones where the lenses come off). You can finally figure out what all those little buttons do and why you’d ever want to touch one. She’ll also help you learn where the light is, and how to use it to capture quality images. This new skill will take your photography to another level. Then, she’ll guide you in how to use Photoshop Elements to edit and print gorgeous prints. Finally, she’ll share her expertise in how to do the “art part” of telling a story with photography.

More about Mariah Smith
Mariah Smith is a well known mom-prenuer who was recently featured in the North Bay Business Journal. Sono-Ma loves that she is passionate about home births, which she hopes to write a book about one day. Mariah is also a breastfeeding advocate as evidienced by the breastfeeding gallery she created for the Sono-Ma Support Tent - a family oasis offered at local festivals. You’ll also find her giving back by shooting photos for “Little Troopers” or the “Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep” family-support organizations.
When it comes to describing her photography… “The images she creates during an unscripted family portrait session are unmatched. Mariah has an innate ability to connect with her subject and produce images that are as genuine to the subject as they are beautiful. She brings this skill to her scripted & commercial work as well. If you ever take one of her workshops, she’ll talk to you about “falling a little bit in love with your subject”. Mariah studies each & every subject and always finds at least one thing that she loves…whether it’s the shape of the vase, the way the 3 yr old crosses her ankles when she sits or the contrast of the dark truffle on the creamy brie. When she finds what she loves, she focuses on that and uses her camera to share that beauty with you.” (via Mariah Smith About Page)
