Grand Rapids Photography Workshop

May 11th, 2010 , Posted in babies, kids, workshops

I had so much fun teaching at my workshops two weeks ago! I teach because I genuinely want everyone to have their lives documented well. And if it’s with their own camera that’s fabulous! I’m glad I can help them learn how to capture their own memories! Here are a few of m faves from the weekend! I had never met these two little girls or the newborns (5 + 6 days old) so they were a fun example. Have a great week!

21 photographers + beautiful models = FABULOUS WORKSHOPS!!

September 6th, 2009 , Posted in bridal, engagement, kids, workshops

So, I did post this a few days ago…but my blog was acting up and deleted it?! These are a sampling of the great time I had shooting at my workshops last weekend at the new studio!!! I had so much fun meeting all of you and know you all walked away with a little more knowledge and inspiration! Because these workshops are so popular – and already have inquiries for the next one – I have one more planned this year and will not have another until spring.

The next will be *basic* November 6th @ 2-7p and *advanced* november 7th @9-6p sign up is on the blog, under payments!

**On another note — I have been asked by a few to do “portfolio” workshops, or trash the dress workshops….so I would like to present the idea and see what serious interest I have. Here’s the deal – it would be similar to the video on my wedding site. We would have 5 brides (real & models), professional bobbi brown make-up & hair, and as always – fabulous *sometimes risky* locations to shoot, with guaranteed individual time with each model. I will arrange everything, you just show up and shoot! Why? **these are my favorite! Cost ~ $350 *max 7 photogs – no exceptions – *this will need to be paid at the time of sign up – I will not save spots….Sign up is not available yet – but I would like you to email me if you’re interested….and we’ll go from there. Possible dates are September 27th or October 18th *I always do these on sunday because most places I would like to shoot are not being used.
