This was my 3rd photo workshop with you and, as in the first two experiences, I was not disappointed. You are an excellent workshop leader and I always come away from your workshops knowing more about the technical and creative skills of photography and I’m always happy with the photo opportunities you presented and the results I have achieved. Thanks, and I look forward to doing more workshops with you in the future. Tony Kouneski

Irene I want to express how pleased I was with your Tangier Island photo workshop.  Your coordination and knowledge of the Island made the time spent worthwhile.  Knowing where to go in the early morning dawn and the boat charter to photograph the working watermen were the highlights of the trip.  I also found the critique of our photos very helpful and showed that making a good photograph better is just taking a second look.  I would encourage anyone who wants to improve their photographic … Read more

This class on flower and garden photography centered on Longwood Gardens gave me several new perspectives on how to take photographs.  Irene has a wealth of knowledge and experience, which helped me improve composition and see images in a new way.  I came away from the class with a completely new appreciation for taking photos of flowers and garden scenes.  Irene has a very helpful teaching style.

Enjoyed a super weekend in Assateague with lots of new photography friends. Visited many beautiful spots and tried to do them justice capturing them to pixels. Thanks much, Irene.

Thank you so very much for your excellent judging at the Charlotte Camera Club.  Everyone enjoyed your clear and concise comments on all the photos submitted to the monthly contest.  Personally, after I implemented your suggestions on my photo, it finished first place in another club’s contest the following week.  Your suggestions were excellent!  Thank you from me and the entire club for your time and expertise. 

Can’t wait to hear your presentation at the Club at the end of the month.

Thank you for the excellent presentation last night. Your images were outstanding, and we all learned a lot about both the subjects and the best way to approach them to get the best shots.

I attended Irene’s workshop at the Chincoteague Wildlife Reserve in the Spring of 2022. She was an outstanding guide.

She worked with each participant individually, teaching composition and camera settings. She does not take her own photos during the workshop, ensuring that her attention was solely on the workshop participants. She had … Read more
