Absolutely loved my experience! Jordan was very professional and got my business headshots back to me very quickly. He had a variety of angles to let me choose from and edited any request that I had. I highly recommend him as a photographer for all your photo needs! read more

I took the Canon basics class I came to know more about my camera settings. I signed up for other 4 classes that are offered. I have finished exposure,photoshop and composition classes. I have learned so many new techniques now. Shannon and Tamara were my instructors for all the classes I have taken so far and they have helped me a lot with clearing all my doubts. Thanks to both. I am waiting to complete my last class and I am sure it will help me to improve my skills in photography. read more

My son and daughter-in-law bought me a certificate for one of these classes. I was so glad they did! Jordan was great! Answered all the questions peppered at him that night. I think everyone came away from that class learned something. I signed up for two more and can't wait to attend! read more

I was referred to this business after two friends of mine took beginning photography classes there. I, at the time, had my DSLR Canon Rebel for over 4 years and really did not know how to use it to its full potential. I decided to take Class 1 to learn the basics of my camera and from there I felt Class 2 was essential to learning more. I am so glad I took them. Jordan was my teacher for both levels and he is a great teacher. I am by no means wanting to be a professional photographer but I feel like I have the skills now to make my family pictures look like they were taken by one! I am looking forward to taking Class 3 and 4 this summer and learning even more how I can improve my pictures. I highly recommend this company, they ever now offer classes at 2 locations with different dates to make it more accessible for people to fit it in their schedules. read more

This is based on Class 1: The Basics. I am an average photographer (in my own mind at least!), and have just upgraded from my phone camera to a digital SLR (Nikon D5300). I love it so far! But I found just using the automatic-everything mode was not enough. I used to shoot in film and now figured in this new medium it would be different so I decided to go to a class or 2 (or 3). Looked online at college courses and the ones thru local camera shops. A friend told me about this one so I looked into it. I saw the online reviews all glowing so decided to give Jordan and the Basics class a try. SO glad I did! The class covers all DSLRs so it is not camera specific - but then again it is! He has the basics handout for your specific brand. Each concept such as Aperture, Speed and ISO settings are covered, then he tells you where to find them, how they are set and any nuances specific to your brand. Jordan is animated, knowledgeable and engaging. He knows his s***! The class attracts a wide range of folks who all seem interested in interacting together. Definitely because of the atmosphere created. I'm enrolling in the next series Exposure. I will edit this review after. Can't imagine it getting a lower rating! Hope to see you there! read more

If you have a DSLR Camera, and want to get to know your camera as well as how to be a better photographer, I highly recommend the classes that Photography My Way puts on. I have taken 2 classes so far. One being "The Basics" photography class and the other is "Exposure" class. I felt that I had a pretty good understanding of the basic operation of my camera. I have learned a lot in such a short amount of time. Jordan will get you from using your Auto button to understanding how and what you can do with your manual modes. The classes are very informative and very fun. I am signed up for all of the classes and am very excited to learn what my camera can really do with the knowledge I will have gained from the classes. Thank You Jordan for all of your help. JB read more

Jordan is fabulous! He took my sister's engagement photos and frankly they were better than the photos that we ended up with at the wedding. He is kind and professional- I would definitely use him for future work! read more

I have taken five classes plus 2 private tutoring classes from Jordan before going on an African Safari last month (MAY 2019). The pictures I took turned out GREAT and were amazing. The classes I took at PhotographyMyWay helped me learn how to use my new DSLR camera and take quality photos. I highly recommend Photography My Way for learning how use your camera with the proper settings. The editing process in Lightroom is fascinating and interesting and educational. WOW!! Thank you Jordan!!! read more

This guy has skipped town and will not respond regarding make up of prepaid photos classes he promised, he said he would create a virtual option so I trusted him and did not contact my bank for refund, now that things are opening he does not answer. read more

I recently bought a Nikon D5100 and wanted to learn how to get the most of my investment. I looked at the local JCs and nothing jumped out at me. So I googled digital SLR classes in Folsom and got the hit on Photography My Way. I attended the Basics class last week in Folsom. Jordan was the instructor. The class was slated to have eight people, but two did not show. Excellent class size (one of the things I really like about Photography My Way). The class was very informative, with good handouts that were easy to follow, and were also excellent for taking the few notes that I took. Jordan is laid back, informative, and helpful. If you have a digital SLR and are looking to understand more about the functions of your camera, I highly encourage this class. I have already signed-up for the Exposure class and start tomorrow. Looking forward to it! read more

Just a couple of months ago I was on Yelp doing some research on Photography My Way when I decided to take the plunge and sign up for the Basics class in Pleasanton. I never expected such an awesome experience or anticipated that I would sign up for the following three classes AND a workshop. The Instructors are so helpful, so kind, so patient and most importantly, so full of knowledge in an environment that is encouraging and not at all intimidating. The classes are a nice size and you learn quickly that there are no stupid questions. Photography My Way took this girl who only shot in Automatic Modes and made her into an aspiring photographer who actually understands ISO, the importance of composition and Depth of Field. I move about now setting up the perfect shot in my head. I highly recommend PMW! read more

An excellent choice for learning about photography no matter what your level of expertise. The class sizes are small and the atmosphere is informal and not intimidating. There seems to be people from many diverse backgrounds and age groups. The instructors are very knowledgeable and keep the lessons fun and interesting. I would highly recommend this to anyone in the area looking for practical hands on lessons in photography! read more

I purchased a DSLR camera for my daughter that showed a interest in photography. And decided to send her to a photography class so she could learn what all these buttons do! I called Photography My Way, Jordan the instructor answered all my questions and welcomed my 12 year old girl to his class. He has the enthusiasm to keep everyone interested in what he's teaching. He Clearly knows his stuff, photography is its own language and Jordan is fluent in it! Jordan thanks, I recommend your services to anyone that wants to learn. Valerie will see you in the next class!!! Thanks a million. You are awesome!!!! read more

Farmer Photography - Valerie in her first photography class! - Session Photography Near Me

I went to the Nikon basics class last week. I had a great time learned a ton of information. Today I took my daughter ice skating and got some great action shots. Already signed up for class 2 next week I can't wait. Jordan was entertaining and great a great instructor. read more

I took 4 classes with photography my way and next month it will be my fifth class, I have learned a lot from Jordan and his team during these class and workshops. I will recommend these classes to everybody... Its a knowledge every person with a DSLR should have.. and I believe photography my way is the best company is Sacramento area to learn from. read more

I recently invested in a DSLR and I took class 1 and learned more than I ever would from the camera's manual. I love that the class sizes are small and so you can ask questions and get individual attention. I am excited to take the rest of the classes! read more

I have completed numerous classes at PhotographyMyWay and it has taken my photography skills (and business) to the next level. After taking the classes I was finally producing photographs that I had envisioned doing in my mind, but PhotographyMyWay gave me the additional skills I needed to make that vision a reality. The instructors were incredibly knowledgable and the classes were thorough. It was a breath of fresh air to be in the company of skilled photographers that had such a gift and desire to teach. When you sign up for the classes you are automatically signed up to a facebook group page allowing you to have continued assistance should you need it. It is great to have a group of peers that share knowledge and support each other. I highly recommend! Thank you PhotographyMyWay for helping me reach my photography goals! read more

I highly recommend this class to everyone looking to better their photography skills. He has classes for all levels. You cold not ask for more. Jordan obviously loves what he does. With DSLR video on the increase I really would love to see some entry level videography classes. read more

I took the first and second classes with Laura in Pleasanton. She has taught me so much about my camera and how to take a better picture. I definitely need practice but I'm excited to sign up for the 3rd class!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! read more

I got these classes as a gift for Christmas and couldn't be happier after attending. I now have the confidence to use my new DSLR in some of the manual modes and feel like I know what I'm doing! Jordan is a great, energetic and patient teacher. I'm already thinking about going back for class 3 and 4. I would recommend this to anyone - someone like me who has never had a nice camera before to someone who has some skills and would like to fine-tune things. Great class!! read more

Taking classes here was probably one of the best decisions I ever made. After deciding I wanted to take better photos of my daughter, I splurged on a DSLR camera, then I wondered why my pictures were only marginally better than before. I've only taken the first two classes (the basics and exposure) but hope to take the rest as soon as my budget allows. The classes are a bit pricey, but they are worth every penny! Trust me, you have no idea how bad your pictures are until you start taking good ones! read more

I haven't taken a class yet, but I plan on taking Class 1 (the basic entry class). I was scheduled to take the class tonight, but something came up, so I called the photography place and they let me cancel and reschedule for next month without any additional charges! There's only a handful of places that will allow rescheduling without charging you more money. I also like the fact that they have classes in Roseville / Sacramento / other locations. I definitely will write another review after I take Class 1, but I'm sure it'll be another GREAT review! read more

Great classes - small, allows for individual time and questions. Great instructor. Classes are well organized.

The best photography classes I have ever taken! They have helped me so much with learning how to use my camera, from the basics, to lighting, to post-editing in Lightroom. HIGHLY suggest to anyone wanting to learn how to use their camera better. read more

If I could give him 10 stars I would. I have never learned so much in a way that is so easy to understand in all of my life. His classes are the best you can get. And Jordan is a doll! read more

I was so nervous to attend my first class as it's not my thing and way out of my comfort zone. But I have only attended half of my class and it was already worth the money and I can't wait to go back. There were only three students in my class and it was like hanging out with my friends and one happened to know everything I wanted to know. I agree with all of the other reviews. If you are curious about these classes, take one, don't hesitate. My experience was with Jordan Farmer. He's funny, real and makes you feel very comfortable with asking questions. read more

Started with the basics class to learn how to use the new camera and it was great. Instructor was friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable. He didn't rush the class and we went way over our allotted time to address everyone's questions. The handouts were great for me to review the next day after I'd had a chance to process all the information. One down side for me, the rest of the class was clearly more experienced and knowledgeable about using their DSLR cameras, even though this was the "Basics" or entry level class. I didn't want to hold everyone else up with questions or concerns that were too rudimentary for them. Other than that, great experience and I will be signing up for more. read more

I just completed classes 1 and 2 with Jordan. Absolutely loved them! I have a new camera and wanted to learn how to use it properly. I had no prior photography experience other than point and shoot. I went online and read the reviews. I wasn't disappointed! The class was informative and the photography assignments reinforced what was learned and fun. I will be signing up for the rest of the courses he offers and would highly recommend these classes to anyone! Thanks Jordan! read more

I've taken three classes from Photography My Way. I think they are absolutely wonderful. The classes attack the basics in a very practical way. The materials are simple to follow and the examples are illustrative. Great classes! read more

Awesome. I found it myself, and signed up after a few emails....I love being able to use my camera now - Jordan is an amazing instructor.

Photography My Way has been a great experience for me. I came in needing to literally learn everything about my new DSLR camera as well as how to take great pictures. I had tried one class with a different company previously and left frustrated feeling like I had learned nothing. I have taken 3 classes from Photography My Way and can now take pictures I am proud of! The quality of the teaching is first class and very personal. I have found homework assignments and instructor feedback instrumental in picture improvement. While I have much yet to learn, I am on my way to enjoying my new hobby! I am excited to take more classes soon! read more

Evalimi offers both group and one-on-one classes on digital cameras and photography. No accident I discovered them through craigslist! I highly recommend the one-on-one class. I was looking for someone who knew all about the digital camera world and my camera specifically, a Canon, who could bring me up to speed quickly. This is the best ... the undivided one-on-one time centers around what you want to know and learn about. How often does that happen? Chad is both an outstanding and knowledgeable instructor working and teaching right there in their professional photography studio. Check it out! High value; very affordable. read more

I am a professional photographer and I enrolled for a class at photographymyway.com and paid 50$ for the same. I had to cancel the class for various reasons and I informed Jordan on the same days before. They are supposed to refund my money paid and I never received it even after 10 days. I have been requesting the refund for the last two weeks and no response. This doesn't sound like a good way of doing business. read more
