Hi Everyone!

If you plan on joining me for a family session or a holiday session this year, today is the last day to purchase the gift certificates that add in $75 for every $200 your purchase. These gift cards may be used for anything related to a session (the session fee, prints, albums, image boxes, digital files, etc.) The only thing they don’t count towards is my workshop.

Speaking of my workshop…IT”S GOING LIKE HOTCAKES! So jump in on that, too. If you need more information on it, please email me, or stay tuned to the blog, my newsletter, my facebook page, etc. I’ll be updating more in the next few days.

Remember them?

Well, their tiny bundle arrived and is quite possibly the most gorgeous baby boy ever…

This was from the springtime believe it or not…I just overlooked this session when I was posting to my blog and you are in for a treat!!

Yee Haw! I will be hosting a “Taking Fantastic Pictures of Your Loved Ones” Photography Workshop on November 8th, 2009!
 
Topics to be covered:
::Knowing your Camera (and the dreaded Manual!)                                           

::Using those symbols!
::Better yet, getting off of Auto mode!
::The Holy Trinity of Photography (Shutter, Aperture, ISO)
::What makes a good picture, anyway? (the clothing, the surroundings, the     ”props”)
::Composition 101
::Lighting 101 (Turn OFF that flash for goodness sake!)
::Resources for your Photography needs (What to buy, what NOT to buy, where to learn more, etc.)
::Real models to practice on! Get ready for the fun stuff!

What will NOT be covered:
::Editing (I have another class for that! It’s a BIG can of worms, trust me.)
 
Date: Sunday, November 8, 2009
Location: Mason Road and Kingsland Blvd in Katy
Time: Tentatively 9a.m. – 2 p.m.
Provided: Drinks and snacks and me! (We’ll go next door to a bagel cafe for lunch)
What to bring: Your camera (charge the battery and bring memory cards!), your camera manual, paper, pens, a laptop (optional)
Cost: $150 per person

You may enroll in the class between now and October 31st. Please contact me via email or phone to sign up. Space will be limited, so don’t delay!

I wish I knew how to do the editing technique (second pic down below) correctly a la the image is found, but alas, I don’t. If anyone out there can give me a tip or two, let me know! Otherwise, this is the best I could do and I still love it.

Can’t believe how many great comments I got on the wedding pix redux post! Thanks everyone! Tracy and Jesse were awesome and fun and just as wonderful as they look.

Now, who wants to be my next victims???? I would LOVE to redo your wedding pictures for you! Call me
