I can’t say enough about how Tami helped me step up my photography skills! I would take any class from her without hesitation. Truly enjoyed taking this class. I am a beginner photographer and I never felt intimidated or that the class was to hard to follow. The instructor always made me feel comfortable and was very encouraging with every assignment through out the class. The instructor was always helpful and made it easy to follow the lessons.

The pace was excellent as this can easily even fit into a busy schedule and do it on the days that you have time. I enjoyed getting feedback on shots that I had taken in everyday life as it really puts the application and process into perspective instead of using just any photos for examples.
Carol Bauer
Tami is very approachable. She was extremely responsive when I reached out to her with questions or for assistance. She has a lot of enthusiasm and explained the material in simple terms when needed. Her examples were good and Tami was always positive. She is a true professional.
