This workshop is incredibly special to me. I was recently diagnosed with Level 1 Autism (formerly Asperger’s), which has helped me realize that there was never anything wrong with me— I just see and experience the world differently. PerspectAbility is an organization that champions inclusivity and empowerment, and I’m honored to give back to them through this event.
Come capture the beauty of the tulip fields, learn new photography techniques, and support an amazing cause! Spots are limited—reserve yours now!
