Important notes to consider about the class. 

PLEASE.....

If you're not already familiar with your camera, make every effort to get to know it before arriving to class. Please bring your camera's manual as this will play a vital role in answering specific questions regarding your particular make of camera. (Without a manual, it's a real possibility I would not be able to answer very specific questions about your specific camera)

If you have pictures you'd like critiqued, please feel free to bring them along and every effort will be made to help you with those. 

And finally, bring a smile. This is going to be an enjoyable 2 hours that will fly by. 

Questions?  Please email me anytime and I will get back to you. 

See you there!!! 

*** Please note, for scheduling purposes, the cost of the class is non-refundable. However if the weather requires us to reschedule, it will be held on Saturday in February. Please keep this mind when you submit payment for the class  ***
