Emerald + Ivy, LLC :: Photography
About
I offer personalized and specific lessons meant to mentor and train both new photographers and those interested in learning more about their camera, basics of photography, and learning to take better photos.

I love being able to pass on the things I've learned over the past 10 years doing photography. I think it's important to learn the basics for yourself, your family, or for a career... and I am passionate about helping you not make unnecessary mistakes that so many new photographers do.
