Thanks to Will's unparalleled teaching methods, I was not only conversational in the terminology, but knew how to put it into use - by the end of class. I'm currently part of Will's Critique Group. The assignments are fun, inspiring and challenging. It's a great opportunity to try new things and share your photography experiences with an extremely supportive group. Thanks to this Critique Course, I can see my work improving on a daily basis. Will goes the extra mile for his students. I needed to shoot in a lowlight, no flash, theatre setting, with no room for error. I sent Will an email, he got right back to me with "setting starting points" - my photos came out great! Hope to see you in class!

I spent one hour with Will and he would explain things to me and if I said "I don't understand" he would explain it again but in a different way. At one point he was explaining film speed and I just could not remember whether the higher number was better when you have a little light or a lot of light and he explained it three different ways then said "use this to buy more light" and it stuck completely. I really appreciate someone who knows his stuff but as a teacher is more focused on helping me understand.

This is the same review as I have on Google…read more..... As of the time of this review, I am giving two stars over the process of pictures for my son dating back to October 2023. Several times I call, an automated message comes back and says that they cannot answer my call and to call back. No e-mail or options to leave a voicemail is very inconvenient and shocking for a company that has been around for as long as this company has been (I even attempted Google Chat as it as presented an option on Google - no answer). My son had pictures taken due to the "airport" promotion for January - it is middle of February and told today that they are still working on it (some pictures have been updated at the airport already). I paid for the balance for very expensive pictures on December 21, 2023 and told that the pictures would be ready in two months. I called today (one day short of two months per timeanddate.com) and was told that the two month mark is actually February 28 and to call back then (which I will probably need to call three times again to get a hold of someone), which tells me that our pictures were not even sent to the printers until December 28. I would think that after the thousands of dollars that people spend for pictures here, the studio can afford voicemail or e-mail. I will revisit my review as time progresses once we get the pictures back and IF (and from the reviews I have read here and on the BBB website - which of course legal tactics are used to put the consumer at fault, thus retaining the A+ rating) my son's picture is ever displayed at the airport. Updated June 2024 After having one of our brag books being made incorrectly, the studio did correct it and provided with a couple of extra. It was rather disappointing that we had to make yet another visit to the studio (with difficult parking) to pick them up. I asked if they could ship due to the inconvenience and they do not have any materials to ship (they receive daily shipments of pictures so they should have materials - or go to UPS, FedEx or USPS to get a small box - less than $20 to ship - small price given the overall amount we paid). The picture in the airport did not get up until May, was not January, but at least it got up. My final review of this place is going to be 3 stars given the overall experience and the (in my opinion unethical) strong-arm sales tactics that they use to get people to purchase pictures. The studio is good to have you sign all sorts of disclosures to cover them from a legal perspective, so it would be difficult to sue or to file a complaint with the BBB. My guess is that they have gone down that road WAY TOO MANY TIMES to require signatures beforehand.

This workshop is for experienced photographers only and those who want to learn from their style. They are doing their thing all day for those in attendance. It's amazing how I can read some negative reviews that complain they didn't take them by the hand, or tell them to stop stuffing their faces and get to work. It is completely up to the participant to observe and get the most out of their investment. If you're not prepared to sweat and work, then don't bother showing up.

I have run my own photography studio specializing in newborns since Jan 2011, and over the years, I've taken a total of 3 classes with K&T. All three have been excellent, and have helped me tremendously, depending on the stage that I was with my posing and photographic artistry. I would say that it's definitely worth the money if you can afford it and if you're looking to become a better artist. K&T are amazing amazing ARTISTS, and if you LOVE newborn photography, and spending a day in their studio and watching them work is like spending a day painting with Picasso. I've just never experienced anyone like them. Even after all these years, it's so clear that they love what they do, and are not jaded at all by what this industry has become (meaning that newborn photography is now a commodity and there are a ton of other people teaching classes that most likely first learned from THEM just a couple of years ago). They are very honest and open, and I've never had a question go unanswered. You have to approach them as great artists first, and not necessarily an elementary school teacher that will sit you down and teach you your abcs. What they do is so natural to them, that you have to keep your eyes and ears peeled and ask questions like "Why did you put that there, why did you turn the head this way, why did you use that kind of material, what would you do in this case, what do you think about this" etc. They will answer everything and then some. I never understood people that go to these workshops and start socializing with other photographers to the point where they miss the action. Hello! You're not there to chit chat about your kids or eat cookies, otherwise why bother?? I wouldn't go to a workshop taught by someone else simply because I refuse to pay money to someone that first went to K&T to learn (or even worse, learned from someone that learned from someone that went to K&T) and then is "teaching" other people. Why wouldn't you go experience the real deal instead of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy. Here are some tips to get the most out of your workshop: 1. Get some basic newborn sessions under your belt first, even if they are free models. That will help you get the feel for working with a baby and what issues might arise, and then know what questions to ask. 2. Pay very very close attention to their lighting. Lighting is everything, and how they manipulate it, how much light there is in the room, how far away the baby is from the light source, how the baby is positioned in relation to the light and how many shadows there are on their face, it's all super important. 3. Observe their stylistic sense. Watching them coordinate set-ups is probably like watching Coco Chanel dress up in the morning. The way they feel color and texture is one of a kind and can't be taught like a multiplication table. Pay attention. 4. Keep your eyes and ears peeled and ask a ton of questions. 5. And enjoy!!
