I recently had the pleasure of a one-on-one photography class with Kip May. It exceeded my expectations on every level. Kip is not an instructor; he is an educator. When we concluded our time together my skillsets had improved dramatically. I had specific goals in mind and Kip made sure that each of them was met and that I was satisfied with my progress. If you are a beginner, intermediate or an accomplished amateur you will find that Kip can, and will, help you step up your "A game"! Very highly recommended. read more

My wife and I used Kip May as our wedding photographer. We went with Kip's package that included engagement photos, photos of the wedding and a photo book. Kip's services went above and beyond the price we paid him to do the work. He was very transparent about the process and what we should expect. Plus, he took input from us on things we'd like to get into our photos. Our wedding had about 75 guests, half of those children. Our guests ranged from 6 weeks to 90 years of age. Kip and his assistants made sure we had good pictures of everyone at the wedding and reception. They were great at working with children as well. After the event, Kip let us review the photos that he and his staff took so that we could select the ones we wanted to move forward with in the editing process. The end results were amazing. The pictures look beautiful - all of our family and friends love them. Overall, Kip and his staff were great to work with. We plan on using him again for family photos. I cannot stress enough how easy he made the process and how he and his team went above and beyond for us. We recommend using Kip for any photography needs. read more

I recently took Kip's "Camera Basics 101" Workshop. His workshops are enjoyable, informative and an enlightening experience. The hands-on experience inspires and challenges you to try new techniques and provides a new way of thinking photographically. You'll come away with a real understanding of light and the experience of working with models in the studio and on location, giving the confidence to know which type of light to use no matter the situation. Best of all, you'll come away with some incredible images. Thank you Kip for planning and instructing a wonderful workshop! I look forward to taking more. read more

Kip knows his business and he can teach it to you. How do I know? Because I've taken his class and he's taught me to make better photographs. Kip will teach you how he goes about the process, step by step, and make it all seem easy. I walked away from his class with principles of photography that I can not only use but that I can remember each time that I take a photograph. For me that is an amazing thing. read more
