“Beverly Jensen is a great photography teacher! Not only does she love teaching photography and making learning fun, she gave clear instructions and homework assignments, spent enough time with each topic and encouraged us to ask questions. She dealt with each student as an individual with their specific needs and camera, always willing to go the extra mile. We definitely came away with new knowledge, ideas, tools and skills and enjoyed every minute. Bev and her class is a blessing and an inspiration! Thanks Bev!” ~ Diane Bokulich
