Making Collages and Adding Type to Your Photos on Your iPhone and iPad

Photography is about telling a story. But sometimes it takes more than one photograph or a few words added to complete the story. I am always adding type from my favorite app to my iPhone and iPad photographs to text and email to friends or put on my social media sites. Sometimes I will take photos at a friend's party, combine them into a collage and send to the host or hostess as a thank you. People often ask me how I do this. By the time you leave this 1 ½ hour class you will know my secrets. 

Class includes access to online videos you can review as often as you want.

Class size is limited to 4 students and is held at the delightful El Gato Café at Independencia #5 in central Ajijic. Come hungry and thirsty. Amanda has yummy coffee, teas, smoothies and homemade treats.

Organizing Your Photographs on iPhone, iPad and Mac

Remember the days when we used to throw all our photographs into shoe boxes? Then some weekend we would go shopping for albums, set up a card table and start organizing them? Well they can still easily get out of control. But learning a few tips and tricks can get all those photos easily organized so you can find them and share them. Most people don't know that there are features on your iPhone, iPad and Mac to get them organized for you. This class will show you how.

Class size limited to 4 students. It's upstairs at El Gato Café, Independencia #5 in central Ajijic. By the time you leave this 1 ½ hour class you will be well on your way to organizing all those photographs. And be sure to come hungry. Amanda has yummy coffee, teas, smoothies and homemade treats.

Retouching Photos on Your iPhone and iPad

So you know that garbage can that ruined your perfect photograph. Or those telephone cables that run across most streets in Mexico, keeping your photograph from being one that you are going to want to print on canvas and hang in your living room?

Or maybe you have a photo that was taken of you in terrible light and your wrinkles look as deep as canyons. We may want to look like we've had a good night sleep... or are maybe 5 years younger. But we surely don't want to look like we've had "work" done. Nor do we want the photograph to look like it has been retouched. Well I can help you with that. I can teach you some retouching tricks where people will never know. It's our secret. My friends often say to me... Cynthia can you do that thing you do with portraits to make me look good but not retouched?

By the time you leave this 1 ½ hour class you will know the secrets of professional retouchers. People will say... Boy Mexico must be great. You are looking so rested and happy. 

Class size is limited to 4 students and is held upstairs at  El Gato Café, Independencia #5 in central Ajijic. Come hungry. Amanda has yummy homemade treats, coffee, teas and smoothies. (Have you ever had a carmel apple smoothie? Just typing this makes my mouth water.)

You also will have access to my online videos of this class and can review them as many times as you want.

Making Life Easier With Apple Notes and Reminders

My life became a whole lot easier once I started using Apple Notes and Reminders. I used to spend a fortune on post-it notes and had them posted everywhere - on my bathroom mirror, on my computer, in my car. Not any more. I even use Siri to help me remember things. And she can add items to my grocery list, packing list and my to do list. You will now effortlessly be more organized than ever before. 

This class is 1½ hours long. By the time you leave you will wonder how you ever got along without Apple Notes, Reminders and the help of Siri. The older we get the more helpful these Apple features will be to live an organized, independent life. Class includes access to an online video that you can review whenever you want.

Class is limited to 4 students and is held at the delightful El Gato Feo Café at

Independencia #5 in central Ajijic. Come hungry and thirsty. Amanda has yummy coffee, teas, smoothies and home made treats.
