OUR TEAM
From preschoolers to professionals, we help learners build real photography skills through hands-on projects, expert guidance, and tons of encouragement. Our team of instructors are all working photographers who know how to make learning both fun and practical.
We believe that with the right support and a little practice, anyone can become a confident, creative photographer. Everybody takes pictures!

Next Level Photo Education began in 2018 as a side project - a few winter classes for kids and adults when photography was slow. When I invited those first groups to my home studio in Pennsylvania, I had no idea it would become the heart of my work.
When the pandemic hit in 2020, I brought my classes online and quickly connected with students from over 25 countries. What started small grew fast, and today Next Level Photo Education offers a wide range of learning experiences for all ages online.
