PHOTOGRAPHY CLASSES in CONROE, THE WOODLANDS, HOUSTON! Learn photography from a working, professional photographer... Deb Evans provides hands-on and online photography classes for Children and Adults "Warning! If your kids want to take photography with Mrs. Evans, be forewarned. They will change all the settings on your camera! They will shake their head with pity when you insist on using automatic settings! They will tell the guy taking Christmas pictures of your family at the mall that he is using too much flash! They will ask for a new camera for birthdays and Christmas and everything in between! They will beg to take Photography II with Mrs. Evans next year! Aaron has absolutely loved photography class! He has learned a lot and had a great time this year! Thanks Mrs. Evans! ~ Dixie Picard "Debbie made class fun and informative, very clear teaching style - most enjoyable class I've ever taken." Melva Shrum "Debbie was very personable and friendly. Content was excellent and she taught it very well." Nadia Arensdorf

ONLINE CLASS COMING SOON
I won't teach you ALL my secrets (I still
have to make a living - ha ha), but, through hands-on instruction, practice
assignments, and feedback, I will give you a strong foundation in photography
basics, an understanding of your camera, and the ability to greatly improve
your photographs.

Lloyd A. Baird, adult student "Debbie was very friendly and presented the content in an easy-to-understand way." Adult student, anonymous class evaluation

"Mrs. Deb
is the best photography teacher ever! Her class is really fun, but I also
learned a lot too. I learned how to do shallow depth of field, and I
learned about F stop and shutter speed. My mom says my pictures are a
whole lot better than they were at the beginning of the year. My mom also
made me the official photographer of the family! Mrs. Deb’s class is
probably my favorite class I take."
“It’s a very fun class and you would be very lucky to take it. We do a
bunch of fun stuff I know [my son is] learning, because he’ll begin discussing something like white balance or aperture or something as we are driving down the road. He will call my Dad, who was a professional photographer for many years, and start telling him information, as if he wouldn’t already know it. Dad just plays along. : )
