Camera Class Update!

I am so excited about our upcoming camera class this Feb. 13th! There was such a huge response that I have decided to teach a morning and an afternoon class because there isn’t another day I will have time to teach until late summer (if then). That means the first class will run from 9AM-1PM and the second will be from 1PM-5PM. (Classes usually get out a bit early but I say 4 hours for those of you who get babysitters and I don’t want you to be rushed and not get your questions answered, so no worries about overlap!)

I have a total of 11 ladies signed up already and that means I will take one more mommy for the 13th if you are interested. Also if you signed up for the morning, but the afternoon is better please let me know so I can put you in the class that is best for you!

Baby’s First Valentine’s

This little cutie was over yesterday for her 3 month pictures and we took some specifically to send to her loved ones for Valentine’s Day. This is the last week to order Valentin’es Day cards in time to send them to school and to relatives so don’t miss out!

Porter, Round 2: Ruston Newborn

Like I said before one of my closest friends just had baby boy #3.  I went to hang out with Jamie yesterday and instead of bringing a meal I brought my camera (since I am a much better photographer than I am cook!).  Here is what resulted in round 2 of Porter’s newborn shoot!

Porter was happy to see me since I brought a heater. 🙂

I arrived while these two were taking a nap, and snapped this one shortly after they woke up. They are such hams! They look for me to take their picture, crazy little boys!

And for those of you photo enthusiast out there, this shot was taken using 100% natural light with a reflector to the left of the baby. Camera was set at ISO 200.

Camera Class for Moms- 2 Spots Left!

Sorry this has taken me so long, but I sat down and counted registration that are in and accounted for and I am still taking 2 more moms for my camera class! For any of you who said you wanted in the class but did not send your registration, you need to contact me asap to let me know how you plan to send your money.

Note: I am sorry to those of your photographers who have asked, but this class is for moms learning to use the manual and AV modes on their cameras to take better pictures of their own children (and in a few cases grandchildren). This is not a workshop for photographers sorry!

Here are the details!

Many of you have nice new digital SLR cameras and are using them exclusively on auto mode, just like your old point and shoot. I know how hard it can be to learn how to use a camera for the first time on your own that is why I am teaching this class!  Now you can take a workshop where you are one of a small group of other moms (or dads) learning the photography basics to help you get the most from your camera and capture everyday moments.
