Beginners workshop- update

……………………………………………………….…………………………………………….

So I am toying with the idea of putting together a workshop. I always say I will not do a full blown workshop and I still dont think I ever will. But I feel like posing and the beginners basics are something I could be good at teaching. I want to share what makes me tick and how I find inspiration. How I pose couples and get them comfortable with creating the look we want, then the basics of lighting and your camera.

So if you think spending a day with some beautiful people and yours truly is something you would like to do, leave me a comment. I am just little old me ….but I feel posing and setting a mood is what I do best. I am seriously contemplating this and would love feed back on what YOU would like to learn or if anyone is even interested.

If I get enough of a response I would be happy to share how I see the world. I think we could all use a little more passion in our lives

UPDATE :


I have found a nanny for my kids, thank you soooo much to all that contacted me and I am so sorry I didnt have time to reply to everyone. I will be contacting a few of you to use as possible back ups. If you emailed me about the personal assistant I believe I have found someone, but it is not for sure yet. I will keep everyone posted and I still would love to have some of you assist me on shoots and wedding days. Thanks again and if i didnt reply please dont take it personal, I got a large response :)
thanks B

AbiQ - I personally LOVE this idea. I think you would rock it.

Kenzie - ok, so I have been a stalker of yours for over a year now. If I could get some of your insight I would love you EVEN MORE forever. Even if it is just a few hours one on one on some lighting. Whatever. I hope a lot of people want to do this, because I sure do!!!! Kenz

Ciara R. - Heavens yes! That would be absolutely wonderful. I would love to learn anything you are willing to share. I feel like I need some new inspiration, as I feel that I keep doing the same poses. I as well hope this goes through if not even just some one on one would be great. THanks!!!

I'd be intersted in learning those! Thanks so much! I love looking at your website, you are a talented woman!! P.s. how are the workouts going?!? I found a fun website to help calculate your BMI, caloric intake, etc. www.howmanycaloriesshouldieat.blogspot.com Let me know if you have any questions--it's all about "understanding" how to loose weight and how to tone-up (not bulky)! It finally clicked for me! :) But I think your figure is so cute! I wish i had curves.. small butt, no chest.. here i come silicone!! haha
