”My daughter thoroughly enjoyed Jamy’s Beginning Digital Photography Class. Jamy has a lifetime of knowledge and experience to share. Even better than her expertise, she connects well with her students and is able to teach in such a way that her students are able to grasp the concepts being taught. I highly recommend her class for anyone interested in learning more about getting better photographs with a digital camera. “ ~Melanie Carroll
