Meet the Teacher
Hi there!
I'm Miss Mika
Your Bubbly Camp Instructor
Hey there, fellow adventurers! 👋 I'm Shemika, the girl behind the lens. As a mother to 3 amazing, fun, and loving rugrats, my journey in photography began with the love and chaos of capturing moments with my own little ones. By day, I'm a Teacher's Assistant at an elementary school, where I weave tales and shape young minds. But when the sun sets, I transform into a child portrait photographer extraordinaire, specializing in creative and fantasy photography. With over 8 years of experience, I've turned dreams into reality through the lens, gracing the pages of child magazines and inspiring others on podcasts and publications. I'm here to put your mind at ease when it comes to learning everything there is to know about creative storytelling through your images! Let's embark on an adventure together, where every click of the shutter is a portal to a world of endless possibilities. Adventure awaits, will you take the journey?!
FAQ
I. What age range is the camp suitable for?
This camp is best for kiddos ages 10 years old to 16 years old.
III. Do children need to have prior photography experience to attend?
Absolutely NOT! The camp is designed to cater to beginners as well as those with some experience. We will teach them the basics and move on to a little more advanced things towards the end of the camp.
V. Will there be outdoor activities or photo shoots?
Yes, there will be outdoor photo shoots planned during the camp to provide hands-on experience in different settings. We will also be using our storytelling skills to come up with a photoshoot!
Who will be teaching the camp?
The camp will be taught by Shemika aka Mika, an experienced child portrait photographer and educator with over 8 years of experience in the field. She is also currently a Teacher's Assistant at BISD.
II. What if I have more than one child?
Both children can join! There is a 10% sibling discount for the second child. If you have 3 or more, please contact Shemika before registering for the camp.
IV. What will my child need for the camp?
Children will need to bring a DSLR camera and a laptop with Adobe Photoshop installed. If your child does not have a camera of their own, there are places you can rent a camera and lens. Please reach out if your child does not have a camera. Parents may need to subscribe to Adobe for access, but a free 7-day trial is available. I would do the trial once camp begins.
What is the showcase and when will it be held?
The showcase is an exciting event where we celebrate the creativity and achievements of our campers by displaying their work from the 5-day camp. Held in the evening a couple of days after the last day of camp, it's a wonderful opportunity for children to showcase their photography skills and share their stories with family and friends.
What is the cost of the camp?
The cost for the 5-day camp is $175 per child. Please note that the camp fee is non-refundable. However, if you find that you cannot attend the scheduled camp day, you may transfer the payment to another camp date or opt for a one-on-one session.
