FAQs
What should I bring?
Many classes are phone-friendly! Check the top right corner of class images - you’ll see either a camera & phone or just a camera.
Some advanced courses require cameras, tripods, or other gear. Check your class listing for specifics we’ll always let you know in advance.
Can I host a party, field trip, or group session?
Yes! We love custom bookings. Reach out to schedule:
Birthday parties
Homeschool or school group field trips
Scout badge programs
Creative corporate events
We’ll build a customized hands-on photography experience for your group.
What if I miss a class?
We do not offer refunds for missed classes.
However, if your schedule allows, you may be able to join a different group to make up the lesson.
Just reach out and we’ll do our best to help!
What’s your refund or cancellation policy?
We’ll contact you 1 week in advance if your class has low enrollment to discuss rescheduling or offer a refund.
All classes cancelled by us (due to low enrollment, weather, or teacher emergency) will be rescheduled or refunded in full.
Weather cancellations follow the Charleston County School District schedule.
Are parents required to stay during kids’ classes?
Nope! You’re welcome to drop off and pick up, or stay and relax in the mall. For younger kids or learners with special needs, we’re happy to discuss what works best for your family.
Can you accommodate learners with special needs or medical conditions?
Yes! We are a welcoming and inclusive space for learners of all abilities, backgrounds, and identities. If your child (or you) has a disability, medical condition, or any other support need, please reach out. With a Master’s in Special Education, Erika designs our courses to be inclusive and engaging for diverse learners. Our hands-on, interactive approach keeps students actively involved, and we’re happy to provide accommodations.
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.
