{Mentoring Session} One-on-one or in a Group!

I had to start my photography journey by myself over 3 years ago. While it was full of challenges, it was fun. I learned things the hard way, and learned how to deal with them on my own. But mostly, I had a handful of photographer friends who where there for me if I needed them, and for them, I am eternally grateful. 
So, it was only natural for me to hold my very first workshop of my own this past Spring. And boy, did we have fun! It was nice just relaxing and being "girls"! All while learning about our camera's and how to shoot them....literally...or, wait...not literally....
Over the past month I have had others show interest in taking part in another workshop, and I am delighted that so many women are starting to branch out beyond their comfort zone to learn about the basics, and the not so basics! And honestly, it helps me learn too!
With that said, I have decided to offer One-on-One workshops, as well as group workshops. However, I will need to have a certain amount of people interested in the group workshops before I can confirm a date. 

Here are the workshop groups that I am happy to offer year round:
Simple Basics Workshop | $50 per person Learn how to use your camera, what all those buttons are for, shooting in RAW and manual, and how to do simple "shooting" indoors and outdoors. We'll do a "walk about" around the farm to gain a little more experience. 2 hour class
Simple Editing Workshop | $95 per person Learn the basics of editing -- changing exposure, contrast, vibrancy/saturation, making that black and white photo "pop", and more. 2 to 3 hr class
Stylized Workshop | $150 per person A stylized photo shoot will be set up so that each person will have time to take photos of the session. Then we'll come back inside and start going through the editing process. 3 to 4 hr class
The Simple Basics Workshop and Simple Editing Workshop are also available as a One-on-One class, however the prices are different. Simple Basics Workshop, $85. Simple Editing Workshop, $125. Each will be a 1 to 1.5 hour class.

{Upcoming} Simple Basics Workshop | May 3rd

I've had several of my personal friends, as well as clients, ask me that age old question... "how do I...?"

I so enjoy responding to those emails, texts, and drop ins. I really love to help people as much as I can with their question, but sometimes, you just need that hands on experience to really make things click.

So, after much consideration, I've decided to take on a very small 2-3 hour photography workshop for amateurs and new photographers who simply need to learn more about the basics of photography.

This class will take place in Remington, Va. with lots of fields and wooded area's available for us to take photos in and of. I will have a few people (and hopefully pets as well) that will be available for us to "practice" our camera skills on after you've received a crash course in learning about your DSLR, shooting in manual and shooting in RAW. Lighting and positioning are key as well, so we'll be talking about those key ingredients during our outside time.

The workshop will take place on SATURDAY, MAY 3rd (rain date, Saturday May 24th) and will begin at 12 noon. This workshop will be 1-1.5 hours of "learning" your camera and how to shoot manually, and the remainder of the time we will be spent focusing on outside work -- posing, lighting, and really learning how to shoot manually with the ever changing outside lighting.

-- THIS IS NOT AN EDITING COURSE -- I will certainly touch just slightly on simple editing techniques, but there will not be a demonstration with a computer. This is really a time to focus on learning how to properly use your camera, lighting, positioning, and the basics that so many of us took weeks to learn when we first started out.

There will be finger foods and drinks available to snack on. This is a very laid back workshop, so no need to get all dolled up! You can come in yoga pants, for all I care -- oh, how I love my yoga pants.

LIMITED SPACES ARE AVAILABLE. I would really only like to take on 6-8 people for this workshop, so please contact me ASAP if you are interested in taking this class.

The $55 includes everything that will be available to you that particular day -- the clients, the setting, the set ups and of course, we must eat!! The entire $55 is due 1 week after you've booked your space. You will be sent a paypal invoice which you can pay online -- you do not have to have a paypal account in order to pay it. If you're not comfortable paying online, you are certainly welcome to send a check through the mail -- please let me know this is your intention when you contact me. If you prefer to make two payments of $27.50, this option is available as well, however, the first $27.50 is non-refundable should you decide to back out of this workshop. All payment arrangements are due IN FULL by APRIL 1st.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! I am very much looking forward to this fun time with you guys -- so excited!!
