    Absolutely loved the event and loved the teacher. I learned a lot. She explains things well and never makes me feel dumb with my beginner questions. She's friendly, knowledgeable and if she doesn't know something she's says so and then tries to help figure it out. I love how she teaches then has a go take some pictures for what we just learned then come back discuss and do it again. This is my 2nd event with her and I plan to take more of her events.

    Jessica's presentation, with prepared examples, was extremely helpful in suggesting ideas and approaches. She obviously knew the subject and how to present it clearly. I'll be watching for future workshops lead by her. And seeing a bald Eagle was a great bonus, even if it didn't have much to do with composition!
