For Photographers: Private Classes/Mentorships

I'm so excited to be a part of your photography journey! I’ve been taking photos for decades but my background is in education. I earned my MA Ed in Instructional Technology and worked in museum education, where I created and managed educational programming including photoshop classes, animation and creativity. With my background, I bring a unique perspective to photography. After having children and transitioning into my role as an emotive, natural light photographer, I've captured countless moments filled with authentic emotions and connections. Now, through private photography classes in Boulder, I'm enthusiastic about sharing my knowledge and insights with emerging photographers who are eager to carve out their own artistic niches. Our collaboration will be a balanced mix of relaxed yet focused learning, fostering growth every step of the way. I'm looking forward to exploring this creative path together!

Tailored Photography Classes and Mentorships

Each private class and mentorship experience is uniquely tailored to the individual. I'm here to guide you along your path to becoming the best photographer you can be. Together, we'll dive deep into the art of capturing emotions, harnessing the beauty of natural light, and nurturing your distinct style.

Chatting Session

Let’s chat about it all! I'm excited to help you demystify your camera and its settings. We can dive into the basics of camera operation, from understanding your camera's functions to mastering exposure settings. We can talk rules of composition, teaching you how to frame your shots for maximum impact- and learning that it’s okay to break those rules too. We can hang on zoom, meet for coffee or even go for a walk and play with your camera.
