“Over the years I’ve taken many photography workshops from a number of instructors - and by far my favorites on location are the workshops that Valerie Jardin leads! She brings an infectious spirit to her workshops that’s a positive stimulation for my work. I highly recommend Valerie’s workshops - they’re just the best.” — Scott Loftesness, Menlo Park, CA Participant in Sept. 2019 Normandy workshop

“I still can't believe I was fortunate enough to spend a week with Valerie in Normandy. It was my first multiple day workshop, so I really had no expectations.I think my bar for the "next one" is set really high. The workshop was extremely well planned, with nothing for me to do except photograph.  Knowing that Valerie was from the region was one of my biggest reasons for going on this workshop....and I was not disappointed.I truly left with a sense (and pictures) of the region, the landscape, the architecture and the people!  Not only do I think I am a much better photographer I also now have a way of approaching the locations I will go to in the future. Valerie was always available, positive, encouraging and had boundless energy so that our days were FILLED with opportunities for photography. I would highly recommend attending a workshop with Valerie.” Cindy Nelson, USA  participant in Normandy workshop in Oct. 2018
