"Most times investing in knowledge is better than the latest & greatest gear."
Quinn Kirkland
When I first started my photography experience, I always wished for someone I could bounce off my questions to. I did quite a bit of Google and YouTube searches and this did help.
As I met people in the industry and was able to associate and ask questions, this is where my bulk of knowledge came from. In the classes I offer, your success depends on your willingness to learn and bring all the questions you may have. If I don’t know an answer, we will figure it out together.
I offer a few series of classes based on your level of expertise.
"An Investment in Knowledge always pays the best interest."
Benjamin Franklin

Lightroom Classes
- "Success is Best when Shared" - Howard Schultz
Using Lightroom for RAW image processing can make a substantial difference in your photos. What is the difference between JPEG & Raw??
Whether you’re a seasoned user or brand new, I will walk you through the proper workflow and techniques to help make you successful
Before beginning this class I highly recommend subscribing to Adobe Lightroom/Photoshop. With a monthly cost of $9.99,
Lightroom not only helps with editing but is also a great way to catalog all of your images.
A good computer is an investment to your success.
Using a slow computer will be frustrating. I use a 27″ iMac. Windows-based computers work great too. We will discuss backup solutions for photos in class.
We will touch on a bit of Photoshop techniques depending on class ability.
At the end of this class series, the goal is to become proficient in Lightroom. Be prepared for some homework!
