    Erika is a very informative instructor. This class was great for how to use light in your photos. I photograph my work for etsy and I found this class very helpful.

    AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING. You will learn so much and the teacher breaks everything down into real terms you will understand. I left feeling very equipped to take my own product photographs without feeling the need to go buy a DSLR camera. TAKE THIS CLASS!

    From Teacher:

    Donna, Reading your review and private feedback made my day, made my eyes well up. Thanks so much for taking the time to write and send such a positive note. It was my pleasure teaching you and I appreciated the vibrant and excited energy you had to learn, it made it easier for me to teach and care about teaching.

    Erika came highly recommended from two separate acquaintances and the class definitely lived up to the hype. I've taken several basic photo classes in the past (yes, I'm a slow learner) but Erika was able to explain things in a way that made it all "click" for the first time. And I will definitely be taking advantage of SnipSnapGo for my larger projects. Or maybe just so I can hang out in her studio again!

    From Teacher:

    Thanks for your review Meredith! I am so glad that things started to make sense for you and that I was able to convey the concepts to you simpley. I look forward to helping you in any capacity to help you achieve your visual needs! Thanks again for taking the class.

    This class was great! I learned a lot about how to take better product photographs without high end professional equipment. Lots of great tips and tricks. Great to see a studio set up and have a professional help you take photos and answer questions!

    Erika was wonderful, class was informative, If someone asks a question, she addresses it immediately. Class was a real mix but it worked well.

    Erika was a great teacher and very hands-on. I left with a much better understanding of how to manipulate and experiment with different forms of lighting/diffusion to achieve the effect that I wanted. She also explained some basic camera details (aperature, F-Stop, ISO) in easily understandable terms. I had a tricky product to photograph, but Erika really worked with me to find an approach would showcase my products.

    I wanted to learn more about photographing jewelry. I have a nicer camera, and was helped figure out the settings. However, Erika designed this class to appeal to those with all types of cameras. Whether you have a DSLR or are just using your iphone, you will walk away feeling you definitely learned something and got your money's worth. (I never *truly* understood what F-stop and exposure meant until yesterday when Erika explained it relative to vision.)

    We learned how to photograph a variety of items, large and small, in a variety of scenarios. The best part is Erika teaches you how to recreate these setups at home without any expensive equipment! If you see a setup or lighting scheme you like in one of the photos she shows you, she tells you how to do it with your own objects. It felt like there was time for everyone to ask as many questions as we wanted, and the class never felt rushed.

    I'd definitely recommend this class to anyone. There are only about 10 people so everyone gets to try every setup. I'd go back to the class just to hang out with Erika and Katy, they were great, along with all the wonderful people I met there. It's a great way to connect with other creative people and learn from peers who are explorers at heart. Loved it. <3

    I need to improve my photography skills. I took this class to that end. Erika ran it very well with a perfect balance of lecture, explanation and letting us take pictures using her equipment. We also learned the basics of iPhone photography.
