I was introduced to Photography when I was 12, and the way I fell in love with it can be a nice example of how a child can love photography which can even become a lifelong interest and passion.
My life was changed forever when my dad gave me a professional camera on my Birthday. I was creating my family’s chronicles (my mom is still very grateful to me for taking pictures of my grandparents when they were still with us), photos of our vacations that could have been forgotten after so many years without my photographic records.
Me being a kid recorded all the trips I took in my life and was able to create memories that would have been lost as our mind would forget and can’t hold all we see and experience.
In the creation of my course I combine two of my passions: teaching kids and photography. I am a teacher by education and know how to make the learning process interesting.
Having friends with kids of this age I see they are facing the same problem like I did – they don’t know what to do in their free time, many of them are bored like I was at their age, others-prefer to hang out in virtual reality offered by video games.
Photography is not only an interesting way to occupy kids in their free time, it teaches them to see the beauty of the world around us which is always there but isn’t always noticed!
Photography takes them back from the virtual world of video games to the real world which can be full of pure beauty, kindness, and humaneness which we seem to be deprived from lately more and more. Learning photography, kids can use the same gadgets but they will not slow their mind development (what many scientific studies prove) but will serve them as a tool for stress relief and bring them closer to natural spirituality. Let them make their contribution to your family chronicles creation that can be treasured for generations!
I implemented Larisa Crockett’s concept of unification with nature in my class through her photography program for kids. We followed her engaging lessons during recess and after-school activities, and sometimes, they even complemented our academic classes! The results were amazing!
As teachers, we are always concerned about nurturing kindness, compassion, and observation in our kids, helping them connect to both each other and the world around them. To truly observe means to become part of nature, to embrace the miracles that surround us. In our tech-driven world, however, kids often lose touch with the real world. Statistics show that they are deprived of many experiences that help them stay grounded as human beings.
Being able to see these miracles fills life with joy and sparks constant discoveries. And sharing these discoveries? It’s only possible through photography! In today’s world, it’s accessible and easy for everyone.
Encourage your kids to turn their gadgets around and start capturing the masterpieces nature offers. They’ll learn to appreciate the world even more deeply!

I never imagined that a course I took as a teenager would open so many doors. When I started learning photography, it was just something I was curious about — but I fell in love with it. Larisa’s course “Setting your camera for the best shot” didn’t just teach me how to use a camera, improve my shots — it taught me how to see, how to tell stories, how to connect with people through images. Now, while studying at university, I’m working part-time as a photographer at a kids’ activity center (before that I worked as a photographer at the University Media center) It’s the best of both worlds — I’m gaining real experience, earning money doing what I love, and still building my future. I’m so grateful I had the chance to learn early. This course gave me confidence, direction, and a skill that’s become part of who I am. I know that if you start photographing correctly, you will never give up that joy and happiness that comes with every photo you take.

I didn’t expect this course to impact the way my child thinks. She now talks about ‘framing’ and ‘leading lines’ at the dinner table — and it’s clear she’s thinking more critically and creatively. The shift from snapshots to storytelling happened so naturally, thanks to the way the course is structured.

We signed up hoping to spark a hobby. What we got was something much bigger: focus, patience, and pride in her work. My daughter (11 years old) used to rush everything — now she waits for the moment. This course didn’t just teach her photography. It taught her how to slow down and see.

My 9-year-old son has always been shy, but this course gave him something that’s ‘his’. Now he walks around with a camera and purpose — he’s not just watching the world, he’s engaging with it. He recently told me, ‘It’s so cool I can show people what I see now.’ That confidence? Worth everything.

Before taking Larisa Crockett’s Photography Class my
9-year-old daughter had an interest in photography, but now she has a passion for it! She found the classes engaging and has learned so much. (I have been listening in on the courses and have learned a lot, too!)
The most powerful testament of how much she has learned can be seen through her photos. As she has progressed through the course her newly gained skills are apparent. The transformation has been incredible.
