Who Is This For?
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your craft, these sessions are tailored to meet you where you are. All you need is a passion for photography and a willingness to learn! You must have basic knowledge of using a camera (ISO, SS, Aperture) and flash.
​
You must be located 100+ miles outside of Nashville, Tennessee. Add $1000 if you are within 100 miles of Nashville, Tennessee or within 50 miles of Chattanooga, TN. This does not apply (I will first review) to the beginner newborn mentoring.
