Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you offer photography lessons?

I offer photography lessons in Palm Beach and throughout the surrounding areas including West Palm Beach, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Lake Worth, Boca Raton, and Jupiter. Most sessions are held on location or virtually, depending on your needs.

Do you teach beginners, or is this for advanced photographers?

These lessons are perfect for beginners who just got a new camera and want to learn how to actually use it. If you’ve been stuck in Auto mode and want to confidently shoot in Manual, you’re in the right place. I also offer advanced techniques for those looking to refine their work or build a creative portfolio.

Can I learn photography even if I only have a smartphone?

Yes! While DSLR and mirrorless camera lessons are my specialty, I also offer tips for smartphone photography… especially for content creators, small business owners, and bloggers in the Palm Beach area who want to elevate their visual content.

Do you offer private 1:1 lessons or group classes?

I currently offer mostly private 1:1 lessons tailored to your pace, goals, and gear. Group classes may be an option if you have a small group who is interested in learning together at a reduced rate for shared time. Simply reach out to inquire.

How long is each lesson, and what do I need to bring?

Lessons are typically 90 minutes to 2 hours depending on the format. Just bring your camera (or phone), any gear you have, and your questions. I’ll help you get familiar with your settings, improve your composition, and feel confident shooting in different lighting. If we’re shooting outdoors you will definitely want plenty of hydration and comfy shoes too!

Do you offer lessons for teens or homeschoolers in Palm Beach County?

Yes! I love working with teens and homeschoolers in Palm Beach, Jupiter, and beyond. I make sure the lessons are fun, hands-on, and adapted to their learning style. Feel free to reach out if you’re looking for something educational and creative.

Can you help me with editing or portfolio building too?

Absolutely. Whether you’re building a portfolio for school, social media, or a personal project, I can help with photo selection, editing tips (using Lightroom or free apps), and organizing your best work. I often work with clients in Lake Worth and West Palm Beach on creative development.
