Geared for those wishing to enter the wedding and portrait photography business (or for those who simply want to take family & friend portraits) with opportunities to build your portfolio and receive a little instruction from Sonny & Monica of Family Affair Photography.  Each meeting will examine a different aspect of the portrait and wedding photography business. We will be giving participants a chance to work hands on with models on location and in studio.

The majority of the classes will take place in the South Sound area, namely the Tacoma area.  Classes will be limited in size to assure each photographer can benefit from the experience. Over the course of time we plan to host photo session in various types of portraiture, and offer some meetings to discuss business practices, photo editing work flow, marketing, and lighting.

If you're thinking of making photography a career instead of just a hobby or you simply want to improve your skills photographing people, this is the perfect opportunity to have fun, learn from your fellow photographers and possibly find out if this is the right career choice for you.
