Super cool opportunity from our friend Kristin Murrell

📸 TEEN OR BEGINNER PHOTOGRAPHY CLASS ON THE FARM

I’m so excited to offer a 3-day hands-on photography experience for teens ages 12–18 at Dominic’s Farm!

This small group class (limited to only 6 students) will teach teens how to confidently use their DSLR camera while capturing beautiful images in a real outdoor setting. We will be photographing real subjects and animals on the farm!

Students will learn:✨ Shooting in manual mode✨ Natural light photography✨ Composition & storytelling✨ Intro to editing

We’ll photograph animals, nature, and life on the farm while building real photography skills.

The final day will end with a parent showcase of their images.

📍 Dominic’s Farm – Queenstown, MD📅 April 16–18💰 $495

Spots are very limited so each student gets personal instruction.

The Kent Island Optimist Club and Shop with a Hero Program is saddened by the loss of such a wonderful member of our community. Billy has supported our program since the first year in 2014 right up to sponsoring multiple children for this year’s program. He has been a pillar of our community and will be greatly missed.

Share Memories and Support the Family.
