Personalized feedback—

Schedule your free mini-critique.

In this free 30ish-minute session, we’ll review a few of your images and I’ll share specific feedback, digital edits, and suggested practice. By the end of the session, you’ll have more clarity and a clear next step for your practice.

And if it feels like a good fit, we can talk about working more closely together.
