So many people are asking for another day of mini sessions at the pumpkin patch, now that they have seen all your little pumpkins! So I am doing it again this Wednesday, October 14th.
I have three times slots booked already! Paid appointments are required. It gets too crazy trying to collect money the day of. Include with your money a copy of the model release and info form found here.
Sessions are 25 minutes long, booked every 30 minutes (so don’t be late!) and include 10-15 images on a disk.
Here is a little preview of my mini sessions at the Townsend House Pumpkin Patch! A grand total of 27 families were represented that included 45 children and 1 dog. I had a great time meeting so many new faces and could not have made it through the day without the help of Deana Revels in the morning (of Unique Motifs, check out her fabulous photo mats, I am selling them!) and my sweet little sister Nicole when she got off school in the afternoon.
All the images are almost done, and you will get you files by Thursday at the latest. They will also be listed under my proofing section in case you have out of town family that would like to order.
PS. Sorry some are small, I confess that I was lazy and used Picasa to place them in a collage. 🙁
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 learning the photography basics to help you get the most from your camera and capture everyday moments.
This is a picture I took of Josiah sitting on our bed when he was about 11 months old using just the light from the window.
Find out how to manually set your camera to get just what you want to take great pictures of your family everyday! Also get advice on what lenses to put on your Christmas list!
This is a three hour workshop limited to 6 participants. Bring your camera and your questions. Each participant will be given a workbook and a t-shirt in addition to the materials covered in the class.
Outline
Cost: $135 per person includes workshop, t-shirt, and workbook
Class size is limited to 6 participants to allow a more personalized class and plenty of time for questions so sign up asap! I have only 3 spots of the 6 left!

“Being an’amateur’ camera buff, I’ve longed to know more about how to manually use my camera to capture life authenically. Â Crystal has unlocked that mystery for me and it’s opened a whole new world to me through my camera lens. Â She’s taken a pretty complex aspect of digital photograhy and made it very user friendly. Â I’m thrilled with the results and I’m excited about using my camera in a whole new way.” -Gina Jones, Sept. class
On the second day of overflow pumpkin patch mini sessions we brought our little cuties up to the Townsend House in costume. I am editing through all the images and making great headway, but I couldn’t resist sharing these pics of my little bumble bee and my little Luke Skywalker (it was only a matter of time).
Sorry I have been neglecting my poor blog! I have so much to share with you I just have not been able to keep my eyes open long enough after the kids go to bed to get it up on the blog! I have a family session and 10 and a half solid hours of pumpkin patch mini sessions from Thursday plus 4 more mini sessions from today! Stay tuned for a massive Pumpkin Patch post and voting for your favorite image!
Thank you each one who came out and had your child’s/children’s/pet’s/family’s picture taken and bought pumpkins to benefit DART a local domestic abuse organization. Here’s a little preview from one of my favorite costumes from the sessions!
