''Pro-Am is  personally orientated, beginner or professional, request an event to suit you. Input from all members is expected, so activities (shoots or classes) can be arranged to work for your schedule & interests.

Classes in directing / posing, photo editing & retouching online, also lighting, and composition, even wedding shooting organization, classes in person.

BRITT has been a professional teacher since the 80's - as well as a model internationally - so she understands both sides of camera. Britt is available to assist the members - before, during and after all events.

''BRITT is able to create the scenarios for better model and photographer participation and images''.

Britt shares knowledge and skills - Pro coaching for models and photographers at events is available, or can be arranged separately.

The published shoot or class 'fee' is for Members Only, with cameras please.

Models can ALWAYS attend any shoot dressed in ANY style they want ... TRY pairing with any designer, or hitting a Thrift store, It's all good.
Models can have 3/4 looks, if time allows. Membership is only $30 for a whole year!
