Can't say enough positive things about Christina and team throughout the whole process, from booking, planning, to execution, everything was handled with professionalism and kindness. During the planning process, Christina made a suggestion to change our walk location, based off of a site visit - I was very appreciative of this and it was a huge improvement. The team came out to Half Moon Bay to host part of our company for a smartphone photography walk. Christina was our lead instructor and she brought a whole team with her, so we were adequately taken care of. We had a great time while learning new photography skills, mingling with our colleagues (it was a team building activity), and enjoying the scenery. Christina was very responsive and willing to work with our group size and whatever we needed. Thank you, team!

My team and I had just as much fun as you did! We love creating experiences that bring people together through photography, and it means so much to hear about about your feedback! Thank you again for trusting Photosprouts with your team-building event. We hope to see you all again!

**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved it!** I'm mostly a landscape photographer, and my only street photography experience was snapping shots while traveling. So I wasn't sure what to expect from Photosprouts' street photography workshop in San Francisco. We shot in Japantown and Pier 39, and it blew past my expectations. I picked up a ton of new techniques and could see my photos getting better as the day went on. By the end I finally got how different street photography is from landscape. Totally different ballgame! Christina is awesome: upbeat, patient, thorough, and encouraging. Moreover, she encourages you to see your photo as your art. In other words, she does not push you to copy her artistic preferences. She encourages the inner artist in you. You can't help but like her teaching style. If you're an intermediate or advanced photographer looking to branch out into street photography, this is a great way to build a solid foundation. Highly recommend! --- Want it even shorter, or with a slightly different opening line?

I took a class with Christina that was arranged as a work event last Saturday at the Embarcadero; the class was very informative, I learned a lot. I highly recommend PhotoSprouts.

I had the pleasure of taking the newly offered Editing in Lightroom class, taught by Simha. They were thorough and provided lots of detail. In the past, Lightroom has been a bit confusing to me. Since taking the class, I decided to delve in and have been able to successfully use Lightroom to edit photos, thanks to the skills I learned in this class. This class is a great addition to Photosprouts’ catalog of classes. -Shari H.

I had the pleasure of taking a beginner photography class with Jordi. I wanted to learn the basics before deciding whether photography was a hobby I wanted to pursue. Spoiler alert: I bought a camera two days after taking Jordi’s class because I left feeling so excited about photography! Jordi did an excellent job of explaining the core concepts of photography in an easy-to-understand way. I was able to get hands-on experience right away and put the concepts into practice. Jordi had a camera ready to go, and I was taking pictures within 10 minutes of starting the class. Jordi also provided a printout of notes that I’ve been referencing regularly as I get more comfortable with my camera. At the end of the class, Jordi even provided recommendations for cameras at different price points, which was incredibly helpful as I was deciding what to buy. Beyond the quality of the instruction, Jordi was a joy to spend time with and made the class such a positive experience. The two hours flew by, and I left feeling confident that I wanted to pursue photography as a hobby. I’m so grateful for this experience and would recommend Jordi’s class to anyone who is photography-curious! I’m excited to take more Photosprouts Photography Workshops in the future.

My son absolutely loved Photosprouts’ photography camp for teens! He learned new photography skills while having so much fun visiting different locations and exploring a variety of photography styles. Christina and her team were incredible, and I’m so grateful they made it such a positive and memorable experience for him. I highly recommend Photosprouts to anyone looking for a fun, creative camp for their teen!

We had such a wonderful experience with this three-day photography camp! My 14-year-old daughter thoroughly enjoyed the program and came home each day excited and enthusiastic to show me the work she had created. The camp was engaging, fun, and thoughtfully designed to encourage kids to explore their creativity and develop their own creative thought process. Christina, the Camp Director, was incredibly well organized and communicated clearly each day about the activities and focus areas, which made the experience feel very well structured while still allowing the students plenty of room to explore. One of the highlights was seeing how everything came together at the end of the camp. The final presentations by each student were amazing and gave the kids an opportunity to share their work and see what their peers had created. It was wonderful to see their creativity, confidence, and individual perspectives come through. We highly recommend this program to anyone looking for a fun, creative, and meaningful experience for their child. It was a fantastic opportunity for our daughter to explore photography while building confidence and expressing herself creatively!
