“My daughter loved the class and really looked forward to it each week. Erika has a real knack for teaching children of all ages.”

“This course was amazing! It gave me so much information on what I need to start a photography business as well as showing me where and what I need to research on my own. Erika was very helpful and it was really nice to get feedback on photos I took to get an idea on my skill level. Not to mention it’s really fun to have someone to share your photos with and get critiqued by a professional! Here are some photos I took in class."

“My son had a great time in this class. He's very new to photography and this was good for young beginners.”

“My sons, 11 and 8, took the beginner photography class and loved it! I enjoy photography, so having a class like this gives me a hobby that I can do with both of my boys! I enjoyed seeing how each of them captured the different subjects each week! Looking forward to the summer camp!”

“My teen really enjoyed working with Erika. She was very responsive and encouraging to my student.”

“The class was a great blend of two passions my son has, cars and photography. Mr. Hatfield gave wonderful tips and techniques that truly inspired my son. He asked my son to try some and post pictures to the site. I was very impressed when he replied back with his feedback. I would highly recommend this class and others by Mr. Hatfield.”

“Another excellent course by Erika Hatfield! This course provided everything you need to know about marketing a new photography business. As always, the instructor provided positive feedback and constructive criticisms in a very timely manner. My learner is looking forward to the final course in this series :)”

“Erika is very knowledgeable and so great with the class. She is a fantastic teacher. My teen wants to take another of her classes.”

It was wonderful. My daughter is 9 years old and absolutely loved taking this class. She learned so much about photography and would come home from class and tell me all about it. We can't wait for the summer camp to start.

“My teen really enjoyed working with Erika. She was very responsive and encouraging to my student.”

“My daughter really enjoyed this class! She liked interacting with others who shared her love of animals and learned some great tips for getting some unique pet photos.”

“Ms. Erika is a wonderful teacher! The weekly lessons and assignments allow for a lot of creativity. I highly recommend her class to anyone interested in photography.”

“Expect an introduction into many aspects of people photography. The teacher is well an excellent educator, tuned into the learners' experience all along the way. She offers suggestions and invites learners to share in a no pressure environment. Creativity is encouraged and feedback is offered. All in all, this is a comprehensive class on photographing people, using various techniques with backgrounds, lighting, poses, and angles.”

“Assignments were instructional and fun. Teacher’s response was always positive creating an atmosphere where students were encouraged to participate and be creative. We are looking forward to the next class.”
