Workshop 101 Testimonial:

"I have been practicing everyday and just taking a picture of anything and everything. I finally took my children out on one of the really warm days that we had and did a mini shoot to test my new skills. Can I say the pictures turned out so good. They are way better than before. The pictures were all in focus and had good lighting. I am so glad I took your class it has made a big difference. Now instead of deleting all of the photos and maybe keep 1. I keep at least 50% and delete the rest. Thank you so much for everything." ~ Carlena Scott
