10.19.09 - “Your work is truly inspirational, and your openness in sharing it gave me the sense of direction I was  hoping to find.  It was amazing for me to see you take traditional photographic lighting and posing concepts and move them to incredible levels of excellence.   You have created a truly elegant system and workflow that indeed should move anyone 3 to 4 levels up from where they started.” - Dennis Yen

5.14.09 - Thank you again for an incredible three and a half days at Treehaven. I now have a foundation that I can build

on. I also want to thank you for sharing your techniques on posing and lighting, it made sense. Your teaching methods and you personal interactions with the class was wonderful.” - Patrick Kennedy

4.13.08 - “I not only learned a lot (though I have a lot more to learn) but it was an experience that has fueled my interest even further for this field.” - Paul A. Mastrangeli, Jr

7.28.08 - “Everyone here is still talking about your program at the convention and how much they learned. You are one of the best teachers I have ever seen do a program. Eighty plus percent of my income is from weddings and I started using some of your tips to great effect in the wedding from this past saturday.” - John Havard (PPMA)

8.18.08 - “ Attended seminar on 8/18/08 in Secaucas, NJ. Hanson you have inspired me in ways you will never know. My life has been changed by wedding photography and you have just inspired me to reach far beyond my wildest dreams, Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!” - John Van Dyke (Wayne, NJ)

9.28.08 - “I just wanted to say thank you for the seminar in Chicago. I have watched your work and been inspired by you for several years now. I was so excited to be able to learn from you in person. And it already helped!

I have been a wedding photographer for about 10 years. I have always known that my group posing skills needed work and have purchased books, but never “got it”. NOW I GET IT! The wedding yesterday was so different for me. Groups came up for portraits and I KNEW how to pose them. The mom was always the most important. As one group approached the mom said, “Can you make me look thinner?” She was joking, thinking it wasn’t possible, but I was able to say Of Course I Can! And I did!

You have given my skills (and thus, my confidence) a much needed boost. Thank you so much for being willing to pass on your knowledge to those of us following you in this wonderful profession.
