Island Sun Photography

I teach at your pace. Everyone has a different learning style and I'll develop a customized plan that works for you. I'll spend time with you at no charge for the first time either by phone or online prior to your first lesson to develop the lesson that works best for you based on the type of photography you want to learn. I'm available to answer questions in between lessons because I want you to progress and not have to wait a week before you can get out and use your camera. 

My background includes a professional photography certification from the Washington School of Photography. I was formally trained in both film and digital media, worked 12 years as a professional photographer running my own business, 2 years of teaching as a community college adjunct instructor in black and white film and digital photography, and 2 additional years of continuing education in various photography courses for adults. I have also several taught private classes and small group workshops using any type of camera including cell phone cameras, point and shoots, SLR film cameras and DSLRs. 

When I was learning photography, it was a thrill to finally be able to create the photograph that I had in my mind. I love to help my students feel that same thing when they really understand how to use their camera to capture the image they are thinking about. Teaching photography is one of the most rewarding jobs I've ever had and I feel so fortunate to help each and every student of mine!
