What's included
6 live meetings
3 in-class hoursClass Experience
Each week, we will start with a class meeting via Zoom, where students will learn the topic of the week. Classes meet once a week and students will be given an assignment during each class session to complete before the next session. If students are comfortable, they may share their photography with each other during this time. If students do not wish to share their photos with the class, they are not required to. However, this is a good opportunity for feedback and growth. We will focus on positive reinforcement. Then we will discuss the next assignment. *Interested in one of my classes but don't see a time that fits your schedule? Please ask! I'm willing to work with you to set up a time that works for you!

I've been a teacher in a traditional classroom since 2002. During that time, I have experience with pre-K through 8th grade. To further my interest in photography, I completed the New York Institute of Photography courses and received my certificate of completion in 2006. I've also completed several online training to strengthen my skills. I have photographed weddings, real estate, and portraits professionally but I absolutely love photographing nature and macro shots!Reviews
