Exciting deals to share with you!

We had an INCREDIBLE response to our very first workshop collaboration. And Monty and I definitely received some great feedback from those workshop attendees, feedback we’ve used to tailor the agenda for future workshops. So thank you to all the Feb. 19 attendees!

For those that couldn’t make it, the first workshop was focused more on camera function with a basic overview of workflow and instructed shoot time after the class for those that could stay. (we were actually there for almost an hour after!) During this class, we asked the group if anyone would be interested in a part 2-editing session. Almost everyone raised their hand. So, here we are. Offering a part two. We’ve cut the class size in half, allowing more opportunity for q&a and hands-on assistance. And the time will be spent mostly on how to make basic edit adjustments to improve your images. We will also offer instructed shoot time again but during the last 20-30 minutes of the class.
