Have you ever wondered how to develop your own style and brand?

Walk with me as we take your art from imagination to reality while keeping a profitable business in-mind.

Our class will focus on finding the artist within. We will discuss inspiration from start to finish, and exploring the elements of a photograph that will evoke emotions and tell the stories you want to share. The workshop is a hands-on creative workshop that will help all photographers from beginner-to-advanced, who want to get to the next level in their photography careers.

The class will allow you to walk away with a stunning and diverse portfolio. You will be shooting along with me as I share my posing, creativity, and shooting tips. If you are unable to come to me in Houston, Texas, you will receive weekly shooting and editing assignments instead.

You can choose to take your class in One Day, Two days, or 6 weeks.

Classes are limited to One or Two students at any given time, so that you can receive 100% of my attention.
