What some past participants are saying:

“I felt like I came into the class with some knowledge of photography, but I left REALLY understanding some of the basics.  I feel like my photography “skills’ have increased about 100%!” -Jessica M.

“This was honestly the best way I’ve ever been taught.  I’ve taken a couple photography classes and still had to learn on my own.  But I understood everything you were saying and  your examples helped me take my photography even further.” -Devrie J.

“I can’t tell you how much I learned from your workshop! My pictures have greatly improved and I owe that all to you. Thank you!” -Carrie G.

"It finally makes sense! Thank you so much for your incredibly enlightening workshop. It was worth every penny! -Sarah M.

One last thing...
To promote the workshop I have some postcards that I got printed for each city. I'm looking for someone in San Antonio and Denver to help me out. 

I simply need you to take the postcards to areas around your city where you believe people who have cameras shop. Places like craft/scrap booking stores, camera shops, fabric shops, coffee shops, cupcake shops (all photographers like cupcakes, right?!), pediatrician offices,  kids clothing stores, OB offices, baby specialty shops...the list can go on and on.

You will kindly ask the owner/manger if you could put your postcards at the register for their customers to enjoy. After that, you're finished!

In return for helping me out you will receive my photography ebook, hard copy, and the exposure guide. send me an email if you're interested: katie_perkes@yahoo.com

good luck!
