"With more than 40 years as a professional photographer and over 20 years teaching, I help adult learners build real confidence with photography and the tools that support it. A lot of my students come to me feeling behind on technology or overwhelmed by “all the buttons,” and that’s totally okay—my approach is calm, patient, and step-by-step, with an emphasis on understanding what you’re doing (not just following clicks).

I specialize in online training through Zoom, which makes it easy to work together no matter where you live. Sessions can cover digital and analog photography, iPhone photography, Lightroom Classic/Lightroom, Photoshop, Nik, Topaz, photo organization, Mac productivity, and practical troubleshooting for cameras, catalogs, color issues, and workflow headaches. I’m known for clear explanations, steady support, and strong client feedback—people consistently tell me they feel more capable after just one session.

My background includes assisting Irving Penn, years of commercial and fine-art work, and teaching as a college professor. I earned a BA in Photography from the Brooks Institute and an MFA in Art from the University of Miami. Whether you want a portfolio review, mentorship, help choosing gear, or simply want your system to stop fighting you, I’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity and confidence." less...
