Inside Creative Christmas, you’ll discover 12 fun, festive photo recipes, complete with inspiring examples, suggested camera settings and easy-to-follow instructions, so you can experiment with creative techniques and capture Christmas photos that are anything but ordinary!

Christmas is the perfect time to get a little more creative with your camera!
With twinkly lights and sparkly decorations everywhere, there are so many opportunities to experiment, try new techniques and create something a little magical.
But sometimes we don’t know WHAT to create, never mind how to get it!
And during the festive rush, who has time to figure out the settings or wade through a whole photography course?
So before you know it, the decorations are coming down—and you’ve taken the same old photos, wishing you’d tried something different.
That’s why I created Creative Christmas: to help you turn “I’d love to try that!” into “Look what I created!”

Creative Christmas is a short, focused collection of festive photography recipes you can dip into and start using straight away.
Each recipe includes:
A short, easy-to-follow video

Plus, you’ll get little extras like our prompts list and overlays, so you have everything you need to be inspired and creative this Christmas!
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
Step One

You can work through all 12 recipes in order, or simply pick the one that catches your eye and start there.
Step Two

Expensive gear or specialist tools - as long as you have a DSLR or mirrorless camera, you’ll be able to do the majority of the prompts!

Hi! 👋 I'm Audrey Ann!
So lovely to meet you!
I’ve been a photographer for 17 years and a photography educator for over 14 of them — helping nearly 8,000 students around the world build confidence behind the camera and take photos they truly love.
And although I love teaching the technical side of photography, Christmas is the perfect time to simply play!
To try something different.
To experiment with different techniques.
To document the season.
And to create images simply because they’re fun to make!
That’s exactly why I created Creative Christmas.
Inside you’ll simple techniques, creative ideas and festive recipes, with the goal of just sending you off with your camera to have FUN using them!
Audrey
What do I need to complete the recipes? Will I need extra equipment? Can I do this with my phone camera?!
Let’s clear up all the gear questions at once 😛
You’ll need a DSLR or mirrorless camera and a lens, along with Christmas lights, decorations and a few everyday items. Each recipe tells you exactly what to gather before you begin.
You can try (almost) everything whatever gear you have!
Why almost? There is one recipe requires a zoom lens so if you only have a prime lens, there is one that you won’t be able to do. Otherwise I’ll show you how to get the best results with what you have!
As for whether you can use your phone instead, please note that everything was designed with DSLR or mirrorless camera users in mind.
So although you will definitely be able to do some ideas with just your phone camera, and others you may be able to adapt if you are comfortable using your phone camera to take creative photos, you’ll get the most from this course if you are a DSLR or mirrorless camera user!

Creative Christmas was created with DSLR or mirrorless camera users in mind, so many of the techniques need that type of camera! So although you could do some of the prompts with a phone camera, you wouldn’t get the most out of this workshop, so for that reason, I won’t recommend it to you!
