Sara Jensen Photography-In Focus

Rare opportunity for a basic photography class with SJP! Details below :).

Beginner's photography class to be held February 25th from 10am-12pm. Cost per person is $125 and includes a booklet with the information we go over. Limited to 4-6 people. Going over camera basics, how to shoot in manual mode, lighting, composition, and Q&A. I love doing these classes, but rarely have the time in my schedule to get them in and don't know if or when the next one will be, so if you're interested, let me know ASAP. And a little personal share from a recent jedi-infused family walk :).

FOR SALE! Nikon Nikkor 50mm 1.8 lens $85 (no shipping--local sale only). It has served me well, but time for a new home. Great condition, no flaws. Hood included in price. Most of the images seen on this page and my website were taken with this lens. Email me if you're interested [email protected]

Fun at gymnastics tonight! Go check it out to see some action shots under low light conditions--settings are at the end of the post :).

Gymnastics Fun…Personal Share {The Woodlands, TX | Child Photographer} Personal share tonight, I just can't help myself :). The kids were SO excited to start gymnastics tonight! Were not really big on organized sports in our house--we kind of let them just be kids...

I LOVE this. I think the point should be that while not every moment is enjoyable, they are all important, and all should be treasured in their own light.

Don't Carpe Diem Every time I'm out with my kids -- this seems to happen: An older woman stops us, puts her hand over her heart and says something like, "Oh, Enjoy every moment. This time goes by so fast."

Photo by Lori Coughlin from the workshop on Saturday--full manual mode. She's doing great learning her camera! I encourage all of the other participants to send their images in as well--both from the Workshop and for critique!

Merry Christmas from SJP In Focus! A little example of a black and white conversion here…not all conversions are created equal, and it takes a lot more than one click of a button to get a well executed black and white that will show off detail and definition in your image…definitely a skill worth working on!

Are you getting someone a new camera for Christmas? Or know someone who got one last year and still doesn't really know how to use it? The perfect gift this Christmas--a seat in my January Amateur Photographer's Workshop! Space is limited…contact me at sara@sarajensenphotography to reserve a seat!
