Testimonials

Barbara, I appreciated your workshop so much. You introduced me to a completely new artform! I had no idea I could make such beautiful (and sale-able) products using equipment I already have. You are so generous with your information in a way I have not experienced from others in the field. I have decided to do my own printing using the information and resources you gave. I have even bought my first font and fear I may be addicted. My tendency before was to completely over design everything. I now know that my photographs say so much that they benefit far more from simple designs. (Carli Morgan, Silver Moon Photography, Fresno)

“The class offered something I haven’t seen anywhere else. I don’t know anyone else who is
teaching this – I didn’t even know it was possible. In three hours Barbara totally changed the way I’ll be doing business cards, note cards, books,photo albums, etc. This is a big part of the answer to my perennial question – what do you do with your photos? Barbara combines easy, elegant design with quality materials and techniques to bring your presentation to a whole new level.” (Janine Smith, Los Angeles)

"I have a degree in mixed media art & printmaking and have always admired the old Orotones...you can only imagine my delight when I ran across your site and found that you have SIMPLIFIED a grueling, yet amazing technique for modern-day artists! You are a hero in my book! I have been looking for something unique to offer my clients, as well as add to my line of jewelry. I make jewelry for approximately 300+ photographers across the US and am always on the lookout for new processes to compliment my jewelry line. THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge and talents...and I couldn't be any happier with my kit!" (Holly Perona, Perona Designs)

"I would like to thank you so much for inspiring me. I reside in Panama, and recently read the article in Rangefinder that features you as one of the month's amazing photographers. I always look for the articles that will move me and inspire me and always wonder " is there really something that hasn't been done? Probably not, but it is in the simple elements of relationships that you find your art and that is truly talent. Your story is remarkably beautiful." (Celeste Martinez, Panama)

"Super class...thanks sooo much, we both enjoyed it very much indeed. I sure appreciate it when I run across a giving person who cares about getting the message through to her students." (Pat & Helen McCarthy, Arizona)

“It is astounding to me how many referrals you get by incorporating this type of product into your photographic business." (Michelle Corales)

“I have searched the Internet extensively to gather information and how-to in this specialized area of photography, and I haven’t had much luck. I was overjoyed to discover Barbara’s workshops!”
