Get the Goods: Black Friday Discounts on Photography Classes!

This weekend one of my favorite local photography schools is having a special "Black Friday" discount on Gift Certificates and classes. Shop early and save.

I'm telling all of my friends to buy me gift certificates for classes. It's the perfect gift for the photographer in your life who already seems to have everything. Besides, the things photogs need are too expensive anyways....like new lens and stuff. Education is much better, and your friends will know they are contributing something useful.

Before going to the malls, you can do some of your shopping online. Buy someone a Gift Certificate for a class in photography. You could also buy them a class on his or her favorite topic: Lighting, Photoshop, Wedding, Architecture and more. Hey, if you are looking for gifts to give to your favorite photography blogger (that would be me of course! ;) I would LOVE to be able to take Armando Martinez's Photoshop 3 class as well as Andrew Clark's wedding class! HINT HINT!

Now through Sunday, enjoy big savings on classes and gift certificates. The sooner you buy, the more you can save.

Starting Friday, save 25% on classes and Gift Certificates. Beat-the-Clock and save more.

Gift Certificates can be applied toward classes and workshops. Gift Certificates can be mailed or emailed. Please provide your mailing address with the Google Checkout, your Gift Certificate will be mailed immediately.

If you prefer to pay over the phone call: (720) 324-0111 or email: info@illuminateworkshops.com

SPECIAL OFFER: $50 Sitting Fee for Father's Day Portrait Gift

You aren't out of the woods yet! You may have made it through Mother's Day, but Father's Day is just a month away. Why not surprise Dad with a professional framed portrait of yourself so he can have visual proof about you in his office when he brags about you being a "Chip Off the Old Block!"

If you book a portrait session with me from now between June 11, I will offer you this special promotion:

One hour-long sitting for $50 and one favorite 8X10. Purchase additional prints through a private online gallery.

My friend Kristen booked a session with me and gave her mother the gorgeous portrait above. During Christmas last year, this set of siblings gave their parents portrait for a gift.

If you are in the Denver area, of course I recommend registering for a class with DPA instructor Russ Burden. I've taken numerous courses with Russ and my readers know he provides the weekly "Instructor's Tip" that appears on my blog on Mondays. Russ is out of town this week taking a group of students to Monument Valley as part of his nature photography tours. But he will be back next week. A posting of DPA classes from July through December will be on the website very soon.
