READ WHAT'S NEXT BELOW 👇🏽

After 35 years of operating RMSP, we have made the difficult decision to close our school.

We want to express our gratitude for all of you who have been a part of RMSP, whether you found us decades ago or yesterday … It has been an honor for you to trust us with your education. We have known so many wonderful, talented, and successful students throughout our 35 years of teaching and we sincerely wish the best for each one of you.

There are also a few things we want you to know (updated October 2024):

#1
If you are a current subscriber of one of our Online Courses, keep an eye out on community.rmsp.com for information about how we will continue your live sessions and ensure you get the content you paid for. The RMSP Alumni Community space will also be maintained for the foreseeable future.

#2
Forest and Sarah are starting their own small media education business, Everlight Education, that centers on YouTube videos, online courses, and personal tutoring. They will share more information about this to the RMSP mailing list in the coming weeks, and they are also converting the previous RMSP Instagram account into @everlighteducation, so if you're already following that account, you can keep up with them that way, too.

#3
We are maintaining a legacy @rockymountainschoolofphoto Instagram account if you'd like to follow. This is where we will post any information about potential future reunions or other events that may interest the RMSP audience.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for a phenomenal 35 years. ❤️

Sincerely,

Forest, Sarah, Jeanne, and Neil Chaput de Saintonge,
Rocky Mountain School of Photography
