Digital Photo Bootcamp & Portrait Photography Workshop
Each year, I offer two opportunities for in-person photography education in a small group setting at my studio in downtown Plymouth, NH — Digital Photo Bootcamp & Portrait Photography Workshop.
Digital Photo Bootcamp

Build a strong foundation for your photography in this two-part course. If you want to take better photographs of your friends and family, nature, or your travels, then this Introduction to Digital Photography course is for you. By the end of the course, you’ll be more confident in your camera settings and your photography skills.

Testimonials
“Maundy Mitchell’s Portrait Workshop was stellar, i.e. five-star stellar! Small group of five photographers; Maundy; and two fabulous models. Maundy is a superb teacher. The class allows for much collaboration among attendees, Maundy and the models for creating great portraits. Very worthwhile, immersive, and enjoyable.”
– Georgia Green
“I had the privilege of attending a portrait workshop taught by Maundy at her studio in Plymouth. I am a fan of her portraiture and was excited to learn from her. The workshop exceeded my expectations. From the technical, to the artistic, to the people skills involved in creating great portraiture, Maundy is a master. She was engaging as an instructor and maintained a wonderful balance of taking questions while also making sure we got through all the workshop content. I highly recommend Maundy as an instructor! I would also highly recommend her if you are looking to book a portrait session for yourself or a loved one. Not only will get amazing images but she will give you an uplifting personal experience!”
Steve St. Lawrence
“I recently had the pleasure of taking two classes with Maundy Mitchell: the Portrait Photography Workshop and Introduction to Digital Photography this past Spring/Summer. Photography has been a hobby of mine, but I had never taken a formal class until I enrolled in Maundy’s courses. I learned an enormous amount, and it really sparked my interest in pursuing additional classes in the future to enhance my skills.
Maundy’s hands-on approach, approachable teaching style, and extensive background and expertise in photography provided an excellent learning experience. Her ability to inspire and motivate students is remarkable, making the classes both fun and highly informative.
I would encourage anyone interested in photography to take a class with Maundy. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, Maundy’s classes are the perfect place to get started and inspired.
In addition to being a great instructor, Maundy is an extremely talented photographer, and I was honored to learn from her. Her passion for photography is evident in her teaching, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from such a skilled professional.”
Amanda Welsh
“Last weekend I took Maundy’s portrait workshop. It was wonderful! She was totally prepared with a full day of packed curriculum, (and two amazing models). I had the privilege of meeting five other fabulous, fun aspiring portrait photographers as well. If you have an interest in improving your photography skills, I highly recommend her workshops.”
Jen Hohenboken
“Maundy’s classes were excellent, beautifully structured to blend the technical and artistic aspects of digital photography. In each course, she offered theory, examples, hands-on work, and supportive critiques that allowed us to better assess our photos. And because she kept the classes small, Maundy was able to take time with each of us and provide thoughtful ideas for our ongoing improvement. My husband and I had earlier enjoyed a portrait session with Maundy, and she brought the same professionalism and joy to her classes as she had to our photo session.”
Sara Jayne Steen
“I highly recommend The Beginner Photo Bootcamp & Portrait Photography Workshop. This workshop is very valuable to people looking to improve their photography skills under the guidance of a professional photographer. By the end of the workshop, I felt more confident in my ability to use my camera in manual mode.”
– Rebekka Curley
“Maundy Mitchell is an awesome teacher. I took both her ‘Introduction to Digital Photography’ and ‘Introduction to Portrait Photography’ classes. I was able to fill in some gaps in my learning through her classes. She provides an excellent summary of basic photography techniques and delivers hands on learning. She knows how to encourage students to explore their hidden talents while gaining a new appreciation of art. I really enjoyed how she analyzed the work of famous artists, such as Rembrandt, John Singer Sargent, etc. [She applied their techniques to] her photography work and turned them into pieces of art. I also learned so much about lights, how to set up lights, how to build connections with anyone being shot through her Studio Portrait class. I enjoyed her classes very much! What she taught me about photography and art will stay with me.”
Tinglan Yang
“Maundy Mitchell’s portrait photography class is the most educational and helpful of any photography class I have taken. She knows this subject of portraits as seen through the history of portraiture in art. Her instruction focuses on being aware of light and the photographer making a meaningful contact with their subject in their quest to produce a successful portrait photograph.”
Molly Drummond
“Learning from Maundy Mitchell has been the best decision I made for my photography. I highly recommend both of these classes!”
Marissa Prata
“Maundy is not only an Incredibly talented and skilled portrait photographer, but a gifted instructor who is able to translate technical photo and camera talk into understandable people speak. The reviews of each of our photo homework with affirming yet instructive comments were invaluable in learning the craft. There is so much to absorb and it was so much fun, I would happily take this same class over and over.”
Kathy Kelsey
“Maundy is not only a great photographer and portraitist, she is also a well-spoken and articulate teacher.”
Bruce Denis
“I just completed the eight sessions of Maundy’s two photography workshops. I was a complete novice when I started – didn’t know the first thing about my camera. And I was in classes with people who were real artists! But Maundy has a marvelous ability to teach to all levels at once and to use examples from each student’s work to broaden everyone’s understanding. I feel I am still at the beginning of this journey, but that I have the tools to continue. I would encourage anyone, at any stage in their photography journey, to take Maundy’s classes. You will be so glad you did.”
Stephanie Osborne
“Maundy is absolutely amazing and I would recommend her to anyone. I participated in her 4 week Portrait Photography class and I was completely blown away. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and I can say I’ve gained so much from this course. Highly recommend to anyone that’s looking to expand their photography skills or to simply allow her to take your portrait. She is the best!”
Chelsea Klinger
“I took Maundy’s [Introduction to Digital] photography class. She was a wonderful teacher, very informative and kind! I can’t wait to take another course!”
