Photoshop Tutoring

After much thought on the matter I have decided to offer Photoshop one on one tutoring. I have played with the idea of a class, but it is just too much of a time committment for everyone involved, plus the logistics were a little tricky. So, I think this is the perfect alternative!

Here are the details:

One on One Photoshop Tutoring
$100 for 2 hours
Held either at your home or mine

Learn how all the tools and options work, layers, masks, history, actions etc. I will also teach some options for converting to black and white and color pop. We will get through as much as possible in the two hours and then if you want more we can schedule additional sessions!

Procrastination...

January is typically a slow month for me with regards to shooting. However, it is also the month where I have to prepare taxes...YUCK. So what do I do instead, photoshop neglected pics of my kiddos, eat candy and play games on Facebook. Haha. Now, back to work for me, but first, a few fun pics of the kids.

Can you see the total boredom in his eyes :)??

A few of my kiddos in their Christmas finery...

I have mentioned before that sessions with my kids last about 10 minutes max. They can be such stinkers. J is getting better, but now we are moving into cheesy smile stage. I am just trying to embrace it.

I am hoping to increase my studio settings this year. I have some awesome backdrops and am the proud owner of a studio light. Look forward to some cool stuff coming from my camera!!

Really, this is the truest depiction of my kids...crazy!

A few more fall sessions...

Here are a few of the last sessions I had last year...

We did this session on Thanksgiving day and it was rainy all day long. With a little creativity we made it work though!!

One of my clients showed me the greatest picture spot with red rocks. I love it now and think I will do some of my own family shots here!

It was such a nice change of pace to have a session of adults...I almost felt like I wasn't working hard enough without chasing and putting on a circus for little kids. My jokes are definitely not as funny to the 20+ crowd though :)!
