Come join me for a fun event next week! I’m going Come join me for a fun event next week! I’m going to be hosting a Do It Together Week where students will work together to complete one or more modules of my Craft Photography Basics course. We will be hanging out in a pop-up Facebook group that will only be active during the Do It Together Week. The week is designed so that you get support and community while you learn and practice your new skills. Registration for the week closes on Sunday, March 22! I’ll pop a link in my stories. And if you’re already a student, don’t worry, this fun event is automatically included in your previous purchase. Just log in to the course and click into the section in the introductory module for the March 2026 event.

Yarn is by @badsheepyarn in the colorway Celeste (gifted yarn).
