About

About The Workshop

When I first started my photography studio, I was so hungry to learn! I saw the work of so many amazing senior photographers and I wondered how in the world did they do that? Through a lot of study and hard work, I gradually figured out how to achieve the artistic look I was after in my images, and I discovered a business process that would let me offer a high-end experience to my clients and give me the opportunity to work with the right clients and produce artistic results.

This workshop is my way of sharing my first-hand experiences as a photographer while using my skills as a teacher (I taught at a college for 10+ years) to help you achieve your creative and business goals in senior photography.
