Hampton Inn, 2 Foxborough Blvd, FOXBOROUGH, MA
Pets and children are by far the most beloved members of most families, but capturing their personalities is often more difficult than just a click of the shutter. Instructor Jen Hargrove’s photographs are often defined by her simple classic compositions and authentic moments of pets and children. Now you can join Jen as she shows you the basics of how she gets animals and children comfortable with the camera. After this class, you’ll be able to capture great images of pets and children AND how to sell simple classic images like fine art. She will cover sales and marketing as well as her Pop Up and On Location Studios. You will also learn how Jen has found success with image competition using client work and has used that success to build a highly profitable business.
