## Instructors

### Kathy Holcombe

Peter and Kathy Holcombe once owned a traditional mom and pop studio based in Boulder, CO that catered to a high end wedding and portrait clientele. Three years ago, they sold their home studio and moved both their family and business into a Winnebago RV and hit the road, taking their twelve year old daughter along on the adventure of a lifetime.
