  • The Pro Series Portrait Workshop was incredible this morning. I learned so much, and more importantly, can apply it to my photography immediately. My only regret is I should have done this sooner. It would have saved me a ton of money and frustration.

    Venita
  • What an amazing 1-1 appointment! I cannot thank you enough for sharing so much invaluable information... and in a relatively short amount of time. You have an honest and enthusiastic approach to teaching that is fun and refreshing. The added bonus... you have saved me from hours and hours (and hours) of doing things the hard way! Time is money, and because of your time saving tips, I will have more of both!
    Anissa
  • Great class. alot of difficult information explained in an easy to understand way. Taking it to real life examples of work she did was very helpful. (favorite part) tips & tricks of working some shots. Hands on help to make sure everyone learned their camera.
    Sarah
  • On two occasions I’ve had the pleasure of attending professional development classes with Hartong Digital Media. I look to Glenn and Malinda as leaders in educating visual storytellers in the multimedia frontier. They left me inspired and informed.

    Joy
  • Malinda, as I count blessings, I am thankful for you. Thanks for always helping me, ready to answer any questions, even if I already asked them 5 times before (; , for imparting your “photographical wisdom”, for teaching me, for your patience, for always getting back to me. This is your profession, and I know your time is money- and I am grateful! And even more so, thanks for nudging me to begin to think like a photographer. You are a wonderful lady and a class act!!!
    Ruthann
  • There are many aspects of Elements. The actual selection was guided somewhat by questions. In this format the class covered what participants wanted to know. This interaction with small class size optimized learning. Outstanding Class! Favorite part: Personal interaction with the class. The subjects introduced in class give a sound basis for further learning between classes.
    Thomas
  • Thank you so much for inspiring me to become a better photographer. Your classes, generosity and expertise of photography is truly amazing. I have found your classes to be very informative, fun & Inspiring. You are a great role model and wonderful teacher, and i feel so honored to have met such a wonderful person.
    Tami
  • I had an amazing 1on 1session with Malinda this week. I HIGHLY recommend her. She is patient, answers any questions, is funny and very engaging. Best of all we sat on her front porch surrounded by beautiful nature while I learned. You won't be disappointed.
    Trish
  • Thank you so much for my 1-1 photography class. I really enjoyed working with you. Your experience has been a great help while I work to improve my own photography and editing knowledge!! Looking forward to working with you in the future.
    Mary Rose
  • After working with Malinda in my 1:1 class I feel more able to take “photographer” quality pictures. After sharing some recent shots with her she easily identified several things for me to correct to help enhance the way my pictures turn out . Her advice on how to use my camera was very informative and really enhanced my latest round of photos taken. Malinda also gave me pointers using Photoshop. One pointer in particular will save me hours of wasted time. The class was worth every penny.
