Portland Photo Tour

Jennifer is an awesome instructor. She has a way of explaining things differently so everyone can understand as we all learn differently. She is able to make everyone in the class feel comfortable asking questions and making it fun. The classes are small enough that allows for some individual attention. And, the fact that they are small classes, we can learn from each other. If you are looking for a photography class, I would recommend one with Jennifer.

Jennifer is a great teacher. She’s encouraging and explains things in a way that people of all levels can understand. She gives a great mix of help while allowing the photographer to explore their creativity. I’ve done a couple tours with her and will definitely do more.

I have taken several of Jennifer's classes and I can't recommend her enough. I received a DSLR as a gift and was incredibly excited, but had no idea how to use it. I was afraid to change any settings for fear of breaking something. White balance? Exposure compensation? I had never even heard of these things, I certainly didnt know how to access them on my camera, or how to use them to improve my photography. That changed after ONE tour. Jennifer is very easy to understand, she takes the time to make sure each individual is able to get the results they are looking for, and she gives TONS of great photography tips throughout each tour.

Jennifer does a great job of explaining photography skills to any level of photographer. She is knowledgeable about the main brands of cameras and has a nice supportive way of explaining how to improve your work without making you feel inferior.

My 14 year old granddaughter and I had a first instruction with Portland Photo Tour and Jessica really explained some important practical basic applications in a way that was easy to understand. I'd recommend Jessica to anyone who is wanting to ease into understanding your camera beyond basic auto mode.

Jennifer is a great teacher. I like The way she explain how to do something then you try to do it on your own. She takes time with each student and answers all questions you have. I learned a lot and for the first time took my camera out of auto.

Jennifer was a really patient instructor with me as I am a very beginner in the middle of more advanced photographers with me, she is adaptive and very nice. Go for it!

The small class format allows for both direct individual instruction as well as learning from fellow photographers and their questions. The outdoor Urban settings allow for wonderful visual topics to explore. I would recommend the tours and have taken several myself.
