Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
If students are in the Portland OR area, I try to meet in person at least the first time. Otherwise, I meet with new students online. Online sessions can be recorded at no extra charge btw!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been training photographers how to use their cameras (DSLR, phone etc), the basics of good photography and how to use Lightroom since 2006. I have done presentations to multiple photography groups, taught at photography schools (Newspace, Cascade Center for Photography) and worked with hundreds of students online and in person over the years.
I am an Adobe Certified Lightroom Expert.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My fee is $100/hour, 4 hours for $350. There is a two hour minimum for in-person sessions (within 25 miles of Beaverton OR).
How did you get started teaching?
I offered my services teaching computer basics at an auction in 1996 and realized how many people needed help. I have taught computer and MS Office to hundreds of students over the years - it was my bread and butter!
But photography is my jam - now I 'focus' exclusively on working with photographers hone their craft.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with beginnning, intermediate and professional photographers.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently did a class on Cell Phoneography - so much fun!
