Just Two Spots Left!

Friday, August 12th, 2011

My last Evening With Organic Photography for the year has just two spots left! If you’re looking for a fun opportunity to learn how to use that great camera you just bought this class is for you.

The cameras available to people today are amazing and something wonderful to have on hand for the 364 days a year when you won’t have a professional photographer to capture some special shots for you. They can be incredibly frustrating though and there is a bit of a learning curve to get by before you can start to take the amazing photos that you were promised when you bought it!

So whether you want to build on your photography hobby or are tired of not having any nice images of your kids, this evening is for you! You’ll learn how to use all bells and whistles on the camera, there will be a lot of time to have all your questions answered and of course we’ll spend most of the evening using the camera and having fun making some photos that you’ll be very proud of!

You can check out all the details right here.

An Evening With Organic Photography

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011

Last year Jodi emailed me wondering if I offered any sort of class for people who wanted to learn to use their cameras a little better. I had never thought about it but it sounded like a fun idea so I told her if she could get a few friends together I would be happy to do it.

It turned out to be one of my favorite evenings of the summer! Each of the girls brought along their camera and a notepad and we started by going through each of the basic functions of everything their camera had to offer. After that we talked about taking more creative photos, watching for good light, how to visualize and set up shots they wanted and then of course we started shooting!

It was so much fun to watch them make HUGE steps forward in just two short hours, I was amazed at some of the shots they came up with by the end of the night. They figured out how to change their shutter speeds, aperture, iso and white balance to get just the photo that they were looking for. They even started working on a little macro photography and action shots when I wasn’t looking!

If you’re interested in putting together a little evening like this for you and some friends just send me an email or click on the link at the top of the page. Please note this is not a ‘regular’ photography class and if you’re looking for something to help you start a career as a photographer, this is not for you. This is a class for people who have a great new camera but just don’t quite know how to use it and want to learn how to take better photos of the important things in their lives. I keep it pretty casual – we’ll bring some snacks, set up on a picnic table and start talking about cameras! No books, no manuals, just a few hours to have your questions answered and get alot of practice time!

Chad’s James Bond Shoot Part 3

Sunday, March 27th, 2011

Here is the third and final installment of my Bond themed shoot with Chad. Lacy’s crazy make up skills came in here as we got our hero a little beat up (definitely caught a few looks as we walked through downtown!).

A big thank you to everyone who emailed with such nice things to say about these shots, I’m so glad you enjoyed them! In case you missed it part one is right over here and you can click here to take a look at part two.

p.s. For the rest of you Bond fans out there, you might have noticed that the last shot in the post is of not from Casino Royale but it’s a photo I’ve always loved so I decided to replicate it while we were out.
