“This class is worth every penny and then some. I cannot say enough positive things about Danielle. I have had a digital camera for several years and was resigned to being intimidated by it. Danielle explained the functions of the camera and its settings so well. For the first time, I FINALLY get what it means to take the camera off “auto” and why and how to do that.”“

What Our Students Are Saying
This class taught me so much about my camera that I actually feel like I can now use it and create some great memories. Don't be intimidated by your camera and miss all the great options available to take great pictures. Sign up for a class with Danielle, you'll be in love with the prospect of being a much better picture taker when you leave. I can't wait to practice and go back for another lesson soon!
I learned more today than I could ever have imagined! I'm so amped to get started taking pictures of EVERYTHING in the manual setting no less!! Something that yesterday was overwhelming to even think about. Danielle is kind, patient and funny. I've been wanted to take a class for years and finally jumped in with my old Canon. The only thing I regret is not taking this class sooner!! Don't wait!
This class is worth every penny and then some. I cannot say enough positive things about Danielle and this class. I have had a digital SLR for several years and was resigned to being intimidated by it. Danielle explained the functions of the camera and its settings so well. For the first time, I FINALLY am getting what it means to take the camera off "auto" and why and how to do that. We then took what she taught us and practiced with it outside-the only way to see if I was "getting it"
I am so happy I attended Danielle's photography class! The experience was like no other. She was clear, funny and talented. I learned many things I did not know before. I am excited to apply what I've learned. Thank you, Danielle!
I've had now two photography classes. Every time I leave with a new wealth of knowledge. There's so much to learn and Danielle has so much to share. I'm not a very creative person and Danielle shares how to look at things in a creative way. I'm excited about learning to look at things differently. We all can be artistic in our own way and it takes a great teacher to show us this. Highly recommend taking a class. You will learn so much! 100% worth it!
Danielle is truly a talented teacher and photographer. I highly highly recommend taking any of Danielle's courses if you want to become a better photographer or creative for yourself or a business. My mom took her DSLR beginner course and I've never actually absorbed so much useful information before. I've sat on YouTube trying to learn how to handle my DSRL before but it never clicked as it did during this course. I actually feel like a pro now or at least on my way to becoming one. I was surprised at how little I knew before taking the class. I can't wait to take her Lightroom course!
I am an entrepreneur trying to make things happen. My goal is to learn the art of photography, apply it to my business and my personal life. I have had the opportunity to take both her photography and lightroom classes. I am a complete beginner but I am so pleased with everything Danielle has shared with me. I have not become a photographer overnight but I have so much useful information and I do not feel lost. I have a place to start and more confidence. Danielle is also super patient with her students and I can not wait to take more classes!
Danielle was a wonderful teacher. She is patient and took time to explain things to me and gave me time to practice on my own. I look forward to taking another class with her sometime soon.
I've taken multiple classes with Danielle. She's very in-depth and I learn so much more than I expected too each time. She provided great tips and explained the settings in a way that finally made sense to me. She really knows how to break down the science of photography. Danielle has a great, positive attitude, and her passion for photography is contagious!
