Experienced tutor in Photography in Orland Park, Laura offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Deadly! Laurie, is a fantastic teacher and a super nice person. She teaches you at your level and work's with you to make you comfortable with your camera. I learned so much from her she make shooting picture fun. I have a long way to go but I'm off to a good start. Thank you Laurie

Deadly! I'll start by saying I'm so glad, and grateful to have found Laurie! Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, she's also a good listener, has great patience, and answers any and all questions you have. She works at YOUR speed, not HER'S. I took a four session block of private lessons with her, and learned so much! She video recorded all of it, so I can refer back to it anytime I feel the need. Bottom line... I would highly recommend Laurie Piton as a photography teacher! I plan on taking future, more advanced lessons from her in the future.

Deadly! I have a newer Nikon prosumer camera and I hired Laurie to become more familiar and comfortable with using it. Especially when leaving the safety of “auto” mode! Laurie was responsive to email and text and structured and organized in her communication. She was always on time and prepared, yet flexible on an occasion when I had to reschedule. She provided expert level instruction with a casualness in her approach that made the lessons very comfortable. This allowed for pausing on a topic for more discussion, open dialog and side questions to align to my specific goals and interests without needing to “follow a script”. I was able to repurpose one lesson to a specific topic of interest for me. She leveraged technology to share her camera, self-video or laptop screen as appropriate to the subject matter being discussed, so audible and visual learning were always aligned. She would ensure the learning topics were hitting home through pauses and questions and wouldn’t hesitate to repeat or revisit a topic later in a session or during the next lesson. We were able to engage the full set of initial lessons virtually – at my request – which works great during a pandemic given I wanted to start right away. For all of these reasons, I would highly recommend Laurie.
