PRIVATE LESSONS, GROUP WORKSHOPS, & MENTORING
PRIVATE LESSONS OR GROUP WORKSHOPS - Private lessons to individuals are available as well as workshops to smaller groups or clubs. Although I have taught a zoom class before (and would do it again), I find that you learn more in-person.
MENTORING - Please reach out if you'd like to learn more. I have mentored several high school and college students & young adults over the years. I love to teach, offer guidance, and be a great role model to those who are truly serious about photography and what it takes to run a business. With over 34 years in business, I'm a trusted professional.
Please reach out to me HERE for additional information, fees, and scheduling.
