Special Child Photography Training Workshops

Special Kids Photography of America provides both live workshops as well as the same workshop content on a CD, accompanied by beautiful portrait images of children with special needs. The 1-day in-person workshops are held regionally and directed by local trainers. All trainers use the same basic presentation, adding their own personal experience and images to the SKPA-researched and developed materials. Workshops often occur before or after major photographic conventions...be sure to check this Training Date Page.

An "ANY TIME" workshop may be arranged at SKPA Headquarters 1.5 hours north of Las Vegas (in St. George, UT) at the studio of Karen Dórame (SKPA executive director).  Contact her to make arrangements for a 1-day workshop (very convenient before or after WPPI national convention in Las Vegas, usually held in February or March each year).
