“ Vicki has been the most helpful teacher I have come across! Her helpful nature coupled with professionalism makes her classes the best to learn photography, there is a lot to take in but the classes are very hands on. The assignments really helped when looking at the results - to see what we could improve upon for the next time. I just kept getting better. you want to sign up with her. Recommended! "
“ I have been stugling with my camera for over a year now. I have taken several classes with lots of people in the class, the instructor always get bombarded with questions. I don't know what they are talking about. Taking a course that's private gives me the attention I need to undersand the different elements of my particular camera and how it works. I just wanted to kow how it wall works, and now I do! Vicki is Patient and pays attention to my questions. I would do it again and probobly will take a workshop or two as I get better at all of this. Thank you!

"I attended Vicki's photography workshop for beginners earlier this year, and it was an excellent experience. Looking forward to attending more!" --James Fanguy
"Best workshop I have ever taken. Vicki went above and beyond my expectations. She provided excellent, personalized instruction, based on a customized workshop design.
She also shared a LOT of great insights based on helping me to assess my own style, taking me out to shoot in the kinds of locations suited to my needs, and then providing interactive coaching and feedback.
As a result of taking her workshop, I am going to become a much better photographer. Even before the course was done, I had already made significant improvements. I highly recommend her services." -Darren Olson, June 25th
