• All of the images you take may be used in your portfolio

• Additional information and details will be emailed to you after your enrollment.

• The exact schedule is subject to change based on weather as we do have an outdoor shoot as well.

• If the group or some of you would like to take the day after to shoot each other either outside or in the studio I will make arrangements for that as well. It is always good to shoot our fellow photographers!
