Feel Good Photos

MY PHOTOGRAPHY

My love for capturing, on film, the beauty around me developed as a teenager with my very first kodak instamatic camera. However, it was the birth of my sons that turned my photography into a passion for documenting the fleeting moments in a child's life. I now offer this to my clients from their squishy newborns to teens celebrating special birthdays and everything inbetween.

My approach to weddings is to capture spontaneous moments with an artistic eye while working unobtrusively. My goal is to create images that tell a story and design a beautiful album which is a tangible reminder of the feelings shared between a bride & groom on their very special day.

Photography Workshop Overload

One workshop, just finished and two others running with plans underway for one day hands on workshops starting in September – sleep you say ? What’s that ?

During the last week of the Not going Green workshop, the assignment involved the sun and as most of the country didn’t have any they ALL did amazing well. Here are my fave three …….

Photography Workshop Images of the Weeks

The People Imagery photographer’s had a little pre workshop homework to do – easy peasey really – just a patriotic or sporty self portrait – see nothing to it LOL. Here’s a selection of the homework turned in.

It’s never simple selecting my fave three, but this time I just couldn’t and ended up with my fave four instead !!

Well done, Tracie, Sheila, Helen and Lainy

Online Photography Workshop Assignment

Posted in Photography Training

Week three is the big scarey module – shooting in manual mode !! Yes the real thing in only three short weeks. The strong sunshine did cause some issues viewing the lightmeter but this group of photographers were not going to be beaten.

Here are my fave three images of the week – great work ladies.
