Classes and Workshops

Photography is a passion for me, and I love to share that passion with others. Whether you are new to photography or are a seasoned pro, I can help you develop your creative, technical or business skills. From one-on-one personalized instruction, to group classes, workshops and photo walks, the options vary widely. Get in touch if you yearn to learn and let’s make it happen.

CREATIVE PHOTOWALKS

I occasionally host creative photowalks in the Kansas City area. I prefer to keep it simple and fun. We gather a group of people who are passionate about photography and spend a couple hours walking around an area photographing together. We often meet after the walk to break bread and share images. It’s a great way to make new friends and share the passion for photography and each photo walk has prizes for best image.
