you can always learn something new

I almost love teaching photography more than shooting for clients… so I do both. If you own a camera and aren’t in business, I can bet that you are constantly frustrated with your images. I can help you understand all those dang buttons, show you why your friends always look yellow or green or strangely fuzzy, and even get you to walk away loving your camera again … and all in plain English!

MENTORING $1000
