SNAP to it! Photography Workshop {Thornton, Colorado Photographer}

So, it’s decided.

You. Need. Help.

SNAP to it! workshop DETAILS:

WHEN: Saturday, May 4th from 10am to 1pm
WHERE: My home, Thornton, CO

Please Note: This class will not be covering any information on starting a photography business, advanced photography skills or Photoshop techniques; but rather is focused on the every day photos you take, and the basic concepts of using your camera off of auto-mode. If you’re looking for education on taking your photography to the next level, this class is not for you.

WHAT’S INCLUDED:

* A small booklet to keep with you and refer back to when you go home.

* Lunch

* A child model during the last hour of class to practice the new concepts you’ve learned.

* A private facebook group to stay connected and help each other learn after the class is over.

WHAT’S REQUIRED:

* a DSLR camera (this is a digital camera that allows you to switch lenses). Here’s a general list of popular DSLR camera’s:

nice~Canon Digital Rebel T3, Canon Digital Rebel T2i, Nikon D3000, Nikon D5100 ($500-$650 with kit lens)

nicer~Canon Digital Rebel T3i, Canon 60D , Nikon D90 ($780-$980 body only)

nicest~Canon Canon 7D, Canon 5D MarkII, Nikon D300, Nikon D7000, Nikon D700 ($1500-$2500 body only)

* Kit Lens that comes with your camera. If you really want to step up your game, consider purchasing a 50mm 1.8 lens via Amazon for CANON or NIKON. This is not required, but I think you will really love how your pictures look when using it! Cost is just over $100 for this type of lens.

* You must bring your manual!

* Bring a pen/notebook in case I say something earth shattering and you want to write it down

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

The cost the workshop is $80, due when you register (this is the only way to officially reserve your seat). I am limiting the class to 10 people, so that we have time for a little one-on-one instruction.

* Learn how to utilize natural light and turn your flash off!

* Tips on getting natural and candid photograph’s of your children.

* Understanding composition and how it effects the feel of your picture.

* You will then put your new knowledge to use with a little photo shoot!

Family......{Thornton CO family photographer}

Crazy that November was busting out 70 degree days and here it is March and we have a fresh 6 inch layer of snow. I have come to learn that Colorado has quite a roller coaster ride through the seasons, one day 70 the next 30. I do have to say that I enjoyed it through the winter, made it much more bearable than the FREEZING Nebraska winters. But now that March has come and almost gone I am getting tired off all the teasing of Spring....just come already!!

Anyway, back in November I had the pleasure of photographing this family. Our daughters are good friends, so It was fun to get to know them more and have a fun laid back session.

Enjoy the pictures!

Some good stuff......

Going through all my last years photos I have realized what an amazing year 2012 was.

This past year I meet up with some other local photographers and participate in a Style Shoot. It was fun to be with a bunch of other women doing what we love and sharing ideas and tips. And the location and Models were beautiful! A huge thanks to the women who put it together, it was fantastic!

Here is the first of 3 posts. Hopefully the next 2 won't take as long to get posted.
