"I have learned so much while watching several of her portrait and composite processing videos over this past year. I particularly enjoy her unscripted style of instruction, as she takes the viewer through her process and explains the “why” behind her techniques, rather than just stepping through them. Watching and listening to the thought process makes the tutorials feel genuine and provides a very enjoyable learning experience."
