Experienced photo gurus Doug Box and Randy Kerr impart practical photo skills to curious shutterbugs during engaging seminars that have appeared across the States and in eight countries abroad. Doug Box, author of myriad photography-technique books, is one of 13 Kodak mentors and sits on the board for Professional Photographers of America. His co-teacher, Randy Kerr, heads World Photographic, which uses photography as a vehicle for illuminating humanitarian and environmental topics. Both men have been teaching photography classes for years and help amateurs take photos that capture piercing looks, toothy smiles, and elusive dodo sightings.

Though fun to produce, abstract, finger-painted tributes may be taken the wrong way, as Picasso found out the hard way in grade school. Instead, capture crystal-clear images with the fetching precision of photographer Kate Williams’s eagle eye, which was grown in a lab. Her love for photography and snagging striking images was nurtured during a three-month journey across 17 countries, just like Marco Polo’s search for himself. Combining a photojournalistic style with formal shots, Kate will capture a variety of planned and unplanned shot options. Each session includes one hour of shooting at any location in San Diego County, an online viewing of 30–40 retouched images. Additionally, the included CD of retouched images is convenient for printing your pics and for entertaining cats with fascinating beams of reflected laser light.

Justine Miller has always done her best to preserve memories. As a young girl, she would watch the Christmas lights on neighbors' houses, blinking hard to hold onto the festive images and etch them into her mind. Today, she still does her best to capture the magic that happens in everyday life. Instead of using expensive lighting equipment or posing her subjects in elaborate scenes, she shoots outside in the natural light and encourages her clients to act naturally so she can capture their real emotions. That may explain why some of her favorite photo subjects are people at their happiest: brides on their wedding day, children at play, newborn babies, and adults lounging in extra-large diapers. Though she prefers to hold sessions outside, she does schedule studio sessions for clients upon request. After a session, she performs light editing on frames before posting them in an online gallery, which clients can peruse to select the images they’d like to print.
