Editing Portraits in Photoshop Workshop (my newest workshop!)

Bring your laptop loaded with either Adobe Photoshop or Photoshop Elements (no need for the most current version) and walk with me through a hands-on portrait editing session.

Got a camera? I've got a workshop! | Atlanta GA Photo Workshops

I'm holding another workshop! Mark your calendar for Saturday, April 9th, and join us for a fun, hands-on learn-and-shoot workshop in Cumming GA.

Bring your camera (digital SLR or point-and-shoot) and be prepared to have fun! During the workshop, we’ll cover improving your composition, creating beautiful portraits, and taking photos outdoors and indoors using available light. We’ll shoot together so you know how to apply these with your digital camera, no matter what model! It's a hands-on, in-depth learning experience that will change your photography for the better.

Minimum 3 attendees, maximum 8. $45.00 per person

(Price includes a non-refundable retainer of $20.00. Gift purchases require entire workshop price.)

This is the last time my portrait photo workshop will be offered at this price. Please contact us for more details or to register!

 

And some of our workshop participants' photos. Please note that these photos are straight out of the camera, no editing applied. Aren't they great? I love when I can teach workshoppers to get great photos in camera without editing!

Portrait Workshop Sneak Peek | Cumming GA Photographer

Just a little peek at the photos from my recent portrait workshop. We had such awesome models! Thanks, gals.

Photo Workshop This Weekend | Atlanta GA Photography Workshops

This Saturday I'm holding my first Photo Workshop of the year in Cumming. It's not too late to join! Spots are open, and since we will be a small group, you'll have more one-on-one time with me! Here are the details:

Portrait Photo Workshop

Saturday, January 15, 2011

1:30-4:00 in Cumming, GA

Minimum 3 attendees, maximum 10. $45.00 per person

(Price includes a non-refundable retainer of $20.00.)

It's not just a fancy camera that makes a great photograph, but the person behind that camera as well. Here's your chance to seriously improve your composition, knowledge, and experience with portrait photography. The best part of the workshop is getting a chance to shoot with me and some models while I help you get great shots in real time. Awesome! Bring your digital camera (point-and-shoot or DSLR) and dress for the weather because we're shooting indoors and outdoors! 

Use the Contact page to let me know if you want to join in.

Catching up with the Blog and Upcoming Workshop | Canton GA Family and Baby Photographer

Now that my photography load has eased up, I have a chance to do some full posts of this season's shoots. You may remember this family from a previous sneak peek. They coordinated their shoot to coincide with baby's first birthday in October as well as get some shots for Christmas. October is the perfect month to have your Christmas portraits made. The weather is still nice and you have plenty of time to get the CD and have gift prints made without paying extra for rush shipping. (Ah, yes. I know this because I had to do that for some of my Christmas gifts. Maybe I'll take my own advice next year!)

On another note, I am pleased to announce a Portrait Photo Workshop on Saturday, January 15, 2011 from 1:30-4:00 in Cumming, GA. It's a bargain at $45.00/person. I know some of you are getting new cameras for Christmas. And some of you have nice point-and-shoots or SLRs already, but don't know how to get great pictures out of them. You've probably realized by now that it's not just a fancy camera that makes a great photograph, but the person behind that camera as well. Here's your chance to seriously improve your composition, knowledge, and experience with portrait photography. The best part of the workshop is getting a chance to shoot with me and some models (looking for some of those too, by the way) while I help you get great shots in real time. Awesome! Contact us for more information. I'll even email you a sweet-looking certificate to print out if you decide to give it as a Christmas gift.

Okay, back to more of this beautiful family!
