Information for" Be a Pro" Easter and Spring Photography workshop.

This is a new concept that I'm trying out. For a session fee you would normally pay another photographer for spring/Easter pictures, you pay me to be with you as you shoot your very own client and you get the pictures you want! Below is the description:
