Sign-up
There is much critical information on this page and in the links, so please read carefully. It will save mis-payments and hassles later on!Barefoot Contessa Photo Adventures accepts payments through PayPal (you do not need an account), deferred payment (now owned by and accessed through PayPal), or by traditional check made payable to:
Barefoot Contessa Photo Adventures
310 Lafayette Drive
Hillsborough, NC 27278
Simple checklist for payments:
- For checks, e-mail The Barefoot Contessa so that she can watch for it. Alas, Uncle Sam is not always reliable!
- Fill out an electronic application, one/person/workshop (guests do not need to fill out a separate one but do need to sign their host's one); these are better filled out by computer, not by "stupid" phone;
- Applications are accepted and a welcome message sent once the deposit and any additional installments due at the time of the application (links on individual workshop pages) are received;
- Be sure to carefully select the correct installment category/ies;
- Note the due dates of the remaining installments and mark them in your calendar - we assume you are all adults! 😉
- If you are paying for someone else, advise by e-mail so we can be sure to give that person credit and/or a gift certificate!
Payment categories:
- Standard: Full fee;
- Alumni: usually includes an ≈15% discount - exceptions include alumni workshops;
- Association: usually includes an ≈10% for ASMP, NANPA, and PCA members (proof required);
- Early Bird: early-bird discounts, also ≈10% off, are offered for most workshops to those who pre-pay the whole amount by check at the time of their application and at least four months in advance; and
- Twofer discount: additional discount for those who sign up for two back-to-back workshops; twofer discounts must be paid by check (because of high PayPal fees) but may take advantage of the same installment due dates as for other categories;
