3-Day Photography Camp · La Vernia City Park · Summer 2026

Your phone's been in
detention since September.

The one class in Texas where having your phone out is LITERALLY the assignment. TSS Photo Camp is 3 days of real photography — using the camera already in your pocket. Shoot, edit like you mean it, and leave with a portfolio website that's actually yours.

03 / The three days

Three focused days. A lot happens.

01
Seeing
Composition, framing, and what your phone is actually capable of. Two shooting walks through the park to put it into practice.
Composition Leading lines Framing
02
Light + Editing
The session that tends to change things. How light transforms a scene, portrait work, and a full run through Lightroom Mobile.
Light reading Golden hour Lightroom Mobile
03
Voice + Portfolio
Editing finals, selecting the portfolio, writing the artist statement, and the website reveal.

04 / What's included
TSS Photo Camp kit — backpack, t-shirt, field journal, sticker, and personal portfolio website

Everything they need. Theirs to keep.

Every student gets a full camp kit on Day 1 — real gear to use throughout all three days, and theirs to take home when it's over.

01
TSS Backpack
A quality bag to carry their gear to and from camp every day.
02
Camp T-Shirt
Official TSS Photo Camp tee — something to remember the week by.
03
Field Journal
For notes, sketches, and ideas throughout the three days of instruction.
04
TSS Sticker
A small thing. It ends up everywhere.
05
Personal Portfolio Website
Their own photography site at their own URL — built during camp, theirs forever.
02 / The thing nobody else does

Every student gets their own photography website.

At their own URL. Their photos. Their words. Their portrait. Their signature. Something they can share with family, put on a college application, add to as they keep shooting. It's not a printout that ends up in a drawer — it's a real portfolio they own.

05 / About

Photographers and videographers who love to teach.

Ryan and Chloe have been photographers and videographers for most of their lives — senior portraits, sports, families, events across the La Vernia area. Between them, they also have four decades of youth and children's ministry experience - mostly in local churches. TSS Photo Camp is where both come together.

Photography changes how you move through the world. Genuinely. You start looking for light you'd normally walk right past. You find yourself framing moments before you even pick up the phone. You slow down and actually notice what's in front of you. That shift — once it clicks — tends to stick. That's what we're here to teach.

07 / Questions
What equipment do students need?
Just a smartphone — iPhone or Android, anything from the last 4–5 years works great. The camp is built around mobile photography. No extra equipment to buy or bring.
What if my student doesn't have a phone?
We have loaner iPads for anyone who needs one. Just mention it when you sign up so we can plan ahead.
How do I know which session is right for my student?
Each session lists a recommended age range. If you're on the edge or have questions, text us at (210) 291-4553 — we'll point you to the right fit.
What are the daily hours?
10 AM to 3 PM, all three days.
What's your refund policy?
Deposits are non-refundable but fully transferable to another session or another family. Full refunds (minus the deposit) are available up to 14 days before camp starts.
Will there be more camps after this summer?
Yes — we're planning to expand. Sign up for any session and you'll be first to hear about what's coming next, including a future video camp.
