What people are saying about our workshops:
"Lisa is great! Her teaching style is very relaxed. She is open to her participant’s comments and easy to talk to, involving the participants in the workshop. This makes for a more dynamic learning experience. Definitely recommend!"
"Lisa is a knowledgeable, and thoughtful photographer. Always available to answer both artistic and technical questions. She explains things clearly which motivates her participants to take creative risks. She scouts locations to find the best and least crowded photogenic places. Highly recommend."
"If you are on the fence at all about signing up for one of Lisa’s workshops, let me give you a great big push!
Haha seriously though, I cannot recommend Lisa enough, I did a workshop with her on Mt. Rainier and I’m still thinking about that day, it was a phenomenal day! She does not make you feel pressured or slow about anything. She is patient and kind and incredibly knowledgeable and relatable, like spending the day with an old friend. She truly just loves photography and people and loves to teach and help and it definitely shows! She is an inspiration in many ways and very talented.
I highly recommend her and her classes to anyone, I am a beginner but she has so much to offer that even more skilled photographers would have a blast. Thank you Lisa for a dream come true, and one of my all time favorite adventures!
You are amazing and I learned so much!
