  1. This course is the most productive, informative photography course I have ever taken. You may enter a as a timid novice, but you will certainly exit as a confident, inspired, photographer! The course instructor has many years of experience first as an artist and illustrator, then as a talented photographer. You feel inspired from the moment she begins to teach. For those of you familiar with the basics of photography, she will teach you the most innovative recent changes to digital photography. She will share her secrets of the most up to date techniques that will enable you to capture life's most cherished moments in an unforgettable way. Sign up before the classes fill up! I've already signed up to take her next course!

  2. Dear Melissa,

    I wanted to thank you for helping me pursue my new found love, photography. Before I took your class, I thought that I would never learn even the basics to take a good photo or to find my way around my new camera. But, you have a talent to break it down and make it simple for anyone to learn. I could have read 10 photography books and taken 8 college courses to get the valuable lessons you have taught me in just one day. God has given you a wonderful gift to share with others and I am a so blessed that I was able to be one of the ones who was able to receive that give.

    I am looking forward to growing as a photographer by taking the remainder of your classes. Again, thank you for helping me grow my passion for photography and for being a good friend.
