Had such an amazing morning with Patricia! She taught me so many awesome features on my phone camera that I didn't even know existed. We discussed framing with buildings and canopies, how to use shadows to your benefit, and she even showed me a great new editing app which makes all my shots look even more professional! Get on this tour if you want to make the most of your phone camera! Alex Drywa

Well Worth It!!!
Booked 2 tours with Patricia, and loved both! She was very knowledgeable and shared tips and secret spots. We "chased the light" all over St Augustine. We learned, we were reminded, and she renewed a sense of artwork in the shot. We shared laughter, angles, shots and stories. It was a great 4 hours (2 tours), and we have a new friend too!!!

The tour with Patricia was wonderful! I learned a lot about composition and exposure. I have amazing artistic pictures of St. Augustine taken during the tour with both my iPhone and camera. Patricia also explain some of the setting of my Nikon camera. Marina Agafonova

I had a wonderful photo tour with Patricia! She took me to places I would not have even known about. Her knowledge of history and photography made the tour so interesting! She tailors the tour to the experience of the people on the tour so whether you are a beginner or an expert you will certainly learn! She also asked me what exactly I was looking to work on and made sure she worked on those specific areas. I highly recommend this photo tour! Jenifer Whelan

I am blown away by the photography tips shared and skills I developed on Patricia's tour. She is very welcoming and shares many tips on taking better photos. My favorite tip is to focus on the one story I would like to tell with the photo I am taking. I had a lot of fun and am more confident and excited to take photos. Thank you Patricia! Rebecca Abbott

Patricia
first took time to teach me how to use apps to help me edit my photos.
We then walked all over the streets of St. Augustine, stopping for her
to show me what to look for in a picture. She helped me realize that
not every scene is photographic. She also told me a lot of the history
of St. Augustine. She helped me see things through my cell-phone camera
that I had never visualized before. Patricia was a great teacher and
friend.

Not
only is she showing you her own private part of town, she opens you
eyes to what your photography can do. It's more than you expect - good
history and great photography advice. I keep hearing her say to me as I
frame a photo "what's your story here?" A great person with a great
passion for what she does.
Kate June 25, 2021
I
booked this tour because I wanted a tour around town and some great
photos. More than the photos and tour the most valuable experience was
Patricia takes the time to teach you how to take better photos using
your own cell phone and it's capabilities. This was a great experience
and I highly recommend!

Informative
both for photography and, unexpectedly, St Augustine history. I now
look at lines, lights, and subjects differently. Who knew my phone had
f-stops?! Patricia did! She was able to help everyone on a personal
level as we all had different cameras.

Tour
of a beautiful city with history and picture taking skills included -
we learned about composition in photos and how to take better pictures

Coming
into this-we expected the host to have a professional camera to use and
speak to during the walk. The description stated to come prepared to
learn some photography techniques along with the visiting unique parts
of St. Augustine (the hidden gems). We were very interested in learning
about St. Augustine and taking some beautiful pictures of our family
with a professional camera - but didn’t we didn’t get that from this
experience. Quite honestly, we felt this experience was over priced.
Maria December 7, 2020
This
tour was very informative and I can already see a difference in the
pictures that I take. I did the tour on the last day of my vacation. I
wish I’d done it on the first day because I would have gotten much
better pictures to capture memories from this trip.

Patricia
was wonderful. She explained how to pay attention to framing and
perspective while taking photos. This was for my bachelorette weekend
and she had the idea to meet up with Henri, the pirate. We got some
great pictures with my group of girls, and we had a lot of fun with
Patricia and Henri. She showed us some hidden spots in St. Augustine
that not many locals even know about. Thank you! We had a great time,
learned more about photography and got some wonderful pictures out of
it.

Even
though I brought my "big" camera, I use my phone much more. I was
delighted with the iphone tricks Patricia taught me to take better
photos.
Mike September 21, 2021
Patricia
frames this experience as expertly as her photo images. She tailors the
class to each person’s ability and equipment (great with iPhone as well
as professional gear). She made our 17-year-old daughter feel special
by showing interest in her and taking time to tell her how this
experience would help her career interest (interior design). Patricia is
reputable in photography and researched in her St Augustine history,
but delivers it all humbly and with sweetness, wanting to stay connected
as friends and photography advisor long after your two hours are done.
