Education


I had the great opportunity through NHPPA to take a one day seminar with the owners of Story Tellers Photography from New Haven, CT. They Spent the day teaching us their techniques on working with smaller children when taking their photographs. They also did a child session as well as a family session to show them in action. It was fabulous. I learned so many neat ways to gain a childs attention and help them warm up to me. My husband and I also attended a seminar entitled weddings A-Z. In this we learned some lighting and posing techniques for the brides, as well as some marketing advice. I am thrilled with all this new information we have learned and can't wait to put it into action. Ryan will be attending a lighting seminar in March, he is the technical one so it helps more for him to learn it and then to show me.

Also, thanks to a fellow photographer I was given a gift certificate for a competition print so I am so excited to enter two photographs in the print competition held in April.
