ABOUT ME
Hey, I'm Melodee
& I'll Be Your Instructor
As a former school teacher, I wanted to be able to contribute financially to my family, but the desire to work from home while my boys were young outweighed everything. I’d been photographing as a hobby for several years and loved it, so starting my own home-based photography business seemed like the answer. What I learned, was that I just need a kitchen, a camera, and a computer to help me do it
- Pretty Focused was created in 2017

" It was a major "aha moment! "
"When I first started with Pretty Focused I had very limited knowledge of how to use my camera correctly, I understood there was an exposure triangle but my biggest issue was how to make that work for the best picture using correct lighting, aperture, and shutter speed. Learning that helped me to be able to understand how my camera worked together and how to nail my focus. It was like a major aha moment once it all clicked I am very grateful for Pretty Focused and the way this course explained that I could understand how to use my camera correctly."

" I am surprised how much I learned! "
"This course taught me that there is so much more that a camera can do other shoot in auto focus. I learned that your camera can be customized to all sorts of settings according to what you are trying to capture. And that there are different factors that can help, or hinder, your ability to get a great shot. This was all new to me but I am surprising myself at what I can learn."
Andrea -
" My photo quality has improved so much from this course. "
“The only experience I had shooting food was posting what I was eating on Instagram. The tips and tricks Melodee has shared helped me take my photos from beginner to holding their own among elite food photographers!”
Kim -
" Your photography knowledge is really expanded. "
“After joining Pretty Focused I learned new ways of using aperture and lighting. It expanded my previous knowledge and made my photography better overall.”
