A 1/2 Day Workshop all About YOU!

Okay already – enough of you have asked for this so here it is. Do you have a new camera or an old camera and your shots just aren’t coming out as great as the beauty you see ? Is there is some subject you want to capture but just haven’t done it justice ? Maybe a private photography session with me can help. Depending what you like to photograph we’ll arrange a 1/2 day agenda to cover best ways to photograph your favorite subject and how to optimize the settings of your particular camera. I’ll share my experience with photo editing, printing and even preparing prints for sale/publication if thats your interest. Fees starting at $195 for one person or $250 for two. Call or email me with your interests and preferred dates.

I was photographing the road side scenery when this beautiful family came to me smiling. I gave them a few Soles in exchange for taking the photos. After I took a couple photos I asked the child to hold the lamb alittle closer in but I didn’t realize he was going to eat the flowers! Bet the next photographer didn’t have flowers in their shot.
