You will understand how to shoot in manual by the time you leave and the skills needed to master that on your own with practice. You will also be shown basic editing skills in entry level editing programs. It doesn’t matter what type of camera you have, you will still learn how to use it! This is an interactive class!

The UBER-fabulous Braman’s…… | Michigan Photographer

November 4th, 2011 , Posted in family, kids

Yes, I did use the uber, and I’m sorry for those of you who can’t handle that…but it was the coolest word I could think of ;) Kelly is an amazing photographer and we have shot together quite a bit, and she shot my family last year and I was IN love with them and could not thank her enough….as I’m sure many of you know how much work it is to get ready for family portraits…and you just HOPE they look good! Well, I am so excited to share with you what we did for Kelly’s family shoot. Kelly is a country/vintage girl….so naturally, a vintage Ford truck, pillows, quilts, clotheslines, and a picnic basket was exactly what we had to do ;) Luckily, Jamie Lou from Hey Day Event Lab totally saw our vision + did so much work to help make this session extra -uber-fabulous ;) and….luckily, Kelly has relatives with old trucks…cause I’ve been looking for one of those fooooorever ;) We all collaborated and something amazing was captured… and I am so happy to just a share a few ….
