Courtney Tavaziva To All Instructors

Hello Parents!
I was that one kid in middle school, high-school and university that always took their camera everywhere. My chemistry teacher nicknamed me "Artsy Fartsy" and refused to call me by my name .

Always having a camera was an annoyance to all at times, but by God's grace I have been able to turn it into a full time buisness, supporting my family, filming and photographing weddings and events around the MO and IL area. I am mostly self taught in the field, but did take a few video and photo classes during my high-school and university years. I have owned BlueFlowerFilms for 5 years now (somehow secured my first wedding during covid) and I am confident that with the skills and camera basics your child will learn in my video and photo classes, AND if they practice, there is a high chance for them to start serving in the media team at their church, parents or friends buisness, or even start a buisness on social media as well. A lot of our world is online and photos and videos are our main tools of communication. I emphasize practicing and homework completion outside of our class time together as essential to success in the video and photo classes im offering. So parents, this may require some pestering on your end 

I majored in theater and minored in psychology background: Lewisville high-school through University (University of Dallas and Sam Houston State). I would love to pour my love for the stage into your kids; helping them read the room, feeling confident addressing anyone, from one on one, to group settings, to even whole assemblies. Teaching self awareness and conversation skills that are essential for growing into a well rounded adult.

I look forward to our year together and hope to see former students in between classes!
