“My son had a great time in this class. He's very new to photography and this was good for young beginners.”
“My sons, 11 and 8, took the beginner photography class and loved it! I enjoy photography, so having a class like this gives me a hobby that I can do with both of my boys! I enjoyed seeing how each of them captured the different subjects each week! Looking forward to the summer camp!”
“My teen really enjoyed working with Erika. She was very responsive and encouraging to my student.”
“The class was a great blend of two passions my son has, cars and photography. Mr. Hatfield gave wonderful tips and techniques that truly inspired my son. He asked my son to try some and post pictures to the site. I was very impressed when he replied back with his feedback. I would highly recommend this class and others by Mr. Hatfield.”
“Another excellent course by Erika Hatfield! This course provided everything you need to know about marketing a new photography business. As always, the instructor provided positive feedback and constructive criticisms in a very timely manner. My learner is looking forward to the final course in this series :)”

It was wonderful. My daughter is 9 years old and absolutely loved taking this class. She learned so much about photography and would come home from class and tell me all about it. We can't wait for the summer camp to start.
