well.... its been a long time in the making , and like all working mums know..... other things , like our children, always come first, and that was the case here...... i have been planning and sussing this out for a few months, and then all of sudden my big boy was turning 5 ! and i had to sort out his school stuff, and his graduation from preschool and his party !!! yes, i did know earlier that this was to happen..... but yet it still seemed to sneak up from behind !!!
so here we are...... he has started school .....( one week in ....and so far loves it ! ) and so mummy is feeling like i am getting on top of all the ''unfinished'' bits and bobs......
so for all of you who were keen for this ...here you go !!!
For the first one, i have kept the spaces limited to 6 mums, so everyone can have an opportunity to ask questions, and seen it will be just little old me..... i dont want anyone to feel like they didnt get a chance to ask what they wanted.......... and ofcourse i think its more ME , to have a group for coffee and talk about photography, have a good laugh and have some fun taking pics ! any bigger, and it would be more commercial and impersonal , i am so NOT that ! as so many of you know !!!
This first one will have a small bit of techo stuff....but as its me teaching you, i dont get too techo...... and i would rather focus on how i find the perfect light, making the most of light etc..... and all about composition and framing ( with your surroundings ) ...... creative points of view...thinking outside the square and showing you how i think and what i look for when photographing kids........ aswell as me teaching you what to say to your kids to achieve a more natural photo.....oooh i could go on..... but we get to have a good chat and you can pick my brain ! i am by NO means claiming to be AWESOME , but i know how to photograph kids, and thats what i will teach you to do !!! so you can photograph your own confidently !
i look forward to meeting you lovely mummies and hopefully you can leave the workshop feeling more confident using your camera and photographing & documenting your wee ones from now on !!
This is NOT a workshop for photographers, this is for mums with fancy cameras, who a) have no real idea of how to use them..... and b) for mums who want to take better photos of their kids !
oops almost forgot to say.......... all finer points will be disclosed to you after you have booked and paid.
Workshop location to start is Arkles Bay, whangaparaoa.
thanks everyone xoxoxoxo
i'm very excited about this !!!
