2010 Child Photographer Weekend Retreats USA
“This workshop is chock-full of Jinky goodness – lots of tickles, giggles, whimsy and fun. Barb opens her heart and leads you on a beautiful journey of imagination and creativity, as well as good solid business knowledge. She is a wonderful mentor and friend and provides valuable insights into her work, her vision and her strength in the profession – just being able to watch her work is in itself a treat. Barb is a true visionary and her infectious personality and ability to connect with her subjects shows a passion that is unmatched in the industry. I am a very proud debut workshop survivor and feel so thankful to have connected and shared knowledge with such a beautiful soul” – Kristen Cook
