"My 13-year old daughter loved Ms. Marie's photography summer camp! It was her introduction to photography, and she learned how to use her camera (which Ms. Marie helped us purchase), lighting, freezing motion, and framing shots. She especially enjoyed the last day photo shoot! She is now comfortable using her camera and experimenting with photography. We would highly recommend this fun and educational camp. Ms. Marie was wonderful!l."
