and started attending Santa Monica College to study photography.

and developed a technique that one can systematically use in order achieve their best photo.
She put her students through an actual professional photo shoot each week
using all these "MTTL" Techniques which gave her insight to finely tune the process
so that it would work with all types of personalities.
The next week, the pictures would be analyzed and improvements suggested.

to improve self-confidence, attitude and positivity.
The results were amazing!
Each week, the beauty, naturalness and power in their pictures increased
and grades and attitude towards family, authority and friends rose 100%.
The most important improvement was that they were happy, focused
and looking forward to living life.
