TESTIMONIALS
EXPERIENCE DALMATIA - KATHRYN WEAVER
Hear what Kathryn says about our exquisite photo experience in Croatia.
TESTIMONIAL - BRIANNA MILLS
"I had the pleasure of learning from Lola while on a photography trip visiting the gorgeous country of Georgia. After attending daily photo lessons, we would apply what we learned while exploring local markets, attractions, and local artisans’ homes.
My photography improved in a matter of days! Lola’s commitment to helping photographers step outside of their comfort zones to capture jaw-dropping images is a special trait of hers that is very much admired and appreciated.
I’m so grateful to have learned from such a dynamic woman and recommend photographers of any skill level to seize the opportunity to learn from her."
