The last of SHOOT CAMP!

So here's our last model for SHOOT CAMP!  She was sooo fun to work with... she didn't care how dirty she got, and she did the most creative things!  Enjoy!





Who knew a parking garage could be so much fun!  Pics of a model during SHOOT CAMP!

My first maternity session... at SHOOT CAMP! 

SHOOT CAMP!





Abby, a child model we used for our class!

SHOOT CAMP!  Nashville, TN

Here is an idea... take a great picture and you shouldn't have to edit it!  So, step one in doing that-- learn how to shoot my camera on MANUAL... I know, scary thought.  So after an INTENSE day of learning, messing up, and occasionally scoring a great picture, I can officially say CIAO to AUTO NIKON!

3 photographers put this camp together in Nashville, and I have to thank Cristin Fanning for helping me realize my camera's potential!  The next few posts on the blog will be the models we had at the SHOOT CAMP!

A fountain next to Rainbow Row in Charleston, SC... followed by a house on our carriage tour.
Finally a flower bed overlooking the water in Charleston, spongified (if that's even a word!)

Gardenia, Oleander, and a Yellow Daisy at the Magnolia Plantation
Charleston, SC

It's black... it's white... yeah yeah yeah...

Ok, I'm beginning to understand why photographers edit so much!!!! I keep telling myself that I will get faster, but jeez... who knew there were so many fine edges to a picture!  Not quite as good as Michael Jackson's song "Black or White" but it'll do!

Watermarking without the water?



Soooo.... it took a while and I still haven't figured out how to put a ladybug on there instead of the already created flower in the program, but 'it'll do donkey.'  This picture was taken in the Magnolia Plantation botanical gardens.  If you are interested in buying a print, please comment on here and I'll get you set up.  Now that my watermark is done, for now... on to uploading more pics!
