  • I've had 1 photography lesson with Malinda so far, focusing on lighting, especially Malinda's favorite function -- exposure compensation. When you figure it out, you can finally take photos like this one of John the Lion at Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. I'm proud of this one and grateful for an awesome teacher. ❤️ [caption id="attachment_11305" align="aligncenter" width="267"]photo of lion with dark background unedited straight out of camera adjusting exposure[/caption]

  • A friend of mine and I just finished our first photography lesson with Malinda and it was fantastic. She was patient, kind and so full of knowledge and simple instructions. I was so intimidated prior to this and now I have the confidence to go out and take some great pictures. Malinda’s handouts and presentation blended with hands on experience is the perfect combination. I highly recommend this company and look forward to leaning more from them in the future.

  • Highly recommend classes to anyone! Malinda is a great teacher. She is super sweet and friendly. She shares her knowledge of 25 years experience and gives you useful information that will impact your photos. I learned so much in just one class and look forward to our next class.
    Also like to thank our most beautiful model Laney!

  • I learned so much in my one-on-one lesson with Malinda. I am a complete beginner and after just two hours I felt like I learned so much and was much more comfortable with my camera. She was very friendly, patient and of course knowledgeable. I highly recommend her.

  • I recently completed two 1-1 lessons with Malinda, and they were great! After the first lesson, I already felt much more confident with my camera and took better pictures. After the 2nd, I felt like I knew even more and knew how to put a few finishing touches through editing. It was great meeting on-location and taking photos with her, using the skills as we were talking about them. I'd recommend her!

  • I am a beginner at photography but I will tell you on my very first one on one lesson with Melinda I learned so much. She taught me more on the first lesson then I could have imagined! She was so nice and helpful. I feel confident at I will be able to take the photos I want when I am done with my lessons! I would highly recommend ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • Working with Hartong Digital for some photography lessons was amazing. Within the first few minutes, I had already started taking better pictures. Malinda has this down to a science and after a few tweaks here and there, your pictures are professional grade. I enjoyed the time with her, she's funny, easy going, and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend investing with Hartong, you will get the best.
