My son really loved this class -- he said it was the most favorite class he's ever taken! The structure, with a little bit of learning followed by applying the lesson immediately by going out and taking pictures, helped him feel like he was progressing quickly, and kept him excited about what he was learning. His creativity was stoked and he's continued playing around with photography since completing the class. We couldn't ask for a better experience!

My son LOVES this class! He has taken 3 classes from Erika now and every time one ends, he immediately asks when he can take the next one:) This class is well thought out and very interactive. I highly recommend this class to any parent with a kiddo interested in photography or even just a really creative or artistic kid! Thanks Erika! See you again soon:) 

Such a fun class! My daughter loved it and learned so much. She feels more confident in her photography skills. We plan on signing up for another class.
