Spring Photography Classes

Who is ready to kick it up a notch in their photography skills this Spring? I have a wide variety of classes that I am offering over the next couple of months. From amateurs to professionals, there is something for everyone.

Creative Composition for Children and Pets

Sunday, April 11th 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Virtual class

Turn ordinary moments into extraordinary images using a variety of composition techniques. You will learn how to create impactful images that will have your friends and family loving your images on social media. You will have images that you will be proud to display throughout your home.                                                                                                               

The class is focused on those who just want to be able to create better images around their home. You don’t need a fancy camera and your cell phone or point and shoot will be just fine.
