...About the Summit

• "My son, daughter-in-law and I had a fabulous time at the summit in Monterey. We will do another one for sure. We learned a lot from all the pros that did presentations that day and came away from the summit enthused and inspired to get out and shoot! The day after sunrise and sunset shoot were also fantastic! I was a little dissappointed that the weather didn't cooperate, but it was a great day anyway. Thanks to you and all your pros for a great weekend!" - Vikki Goodman
• "Just a short note to thank all of you at BetterPhoto for the wonderful time and great learning experience I had at the Monterey Summit. Each instructor was extremely well versed in their particular subjects and having gone through the day opened up a lot of new possibilities for me. I felt rejuvenated!! The photo shoot on the following day was wonderful, as I could put many of the things I learned the day before to use. And, having the instructors right there to answer my questions, WOW!" - Lynn Andrews
• "The BP Summit Shoot was such a marvelous time because the BP instructors are all so personable and approachable. No one should ever feel intimidated by a photo shoot with these guys ... they were fantastic... !! And I got some of my all time favorite photos!!" - Leland Saunders
