last week’s photography workshop

We had a photography workshop last week where some sweet ladies came over and brought their fancy cameras. We all sat down and put them on manual and learned, played, and shot all day.
There’s just one more workshop for 2010. It’ll be on Saturday, September 18th. You can see some details on my bruises and bandaids blog and you can sign up using this registration form.
Here are some of my shots of our sweet little models…

And our lovely afternoon models, three sweet sisters…

Seriously, how adorable is she? I know, she was just as sweet too. :)
I love taking pictures in urban settings like downtown Fresno. Love it. So much fun stuff!

Meet little miss London and little mister Ryder. They are the sweetest. I had the privilege of taking little Ryder’s pictures a few months ago, I think he was about four months old. Now he’s a big boy sitting up and all. Big sister London is awesome at taking care of her little brother.

We had another little workshop where I helped some lovely people learn how to use their fancy cameras on manual…. not on auto!! YAY! During our time learning about our cameras, we do little photo shoots so we can practice what we’re learning. I’m a “do-er”. I learn SO much better if I talk about it, touch the camera, and then actually DO it. So that’s how I teach these things. Only two more workshops this summer, then no more til 2011. One is already full, but there’s still some room in the one on Wednesday, August 18th. Sign up here.

Well, these were our lovely little models. Aren’t they so precious? This is Charlotte. She’s five months old and as sweet and smiley as ever.

This is Bella. She’s the fabulous big sister at two years old.

And this is Jackson. He’s the big brother and as sweet as can be.

Please just give me an expressive little one and a bright colored wall. Please!! I love it. I just thought I’d take a moment to showcase little miss one year old Molly. Molly, you’re the star today. Your sisters….they can wait til tomorrow. :)
