Thought you might enjoy seeing the weird ways i contort my body while photographing people.  I will say this: my yoga comes in handy. 

Also, I am announcing the dates for the third SEEING class!
This one will start on Saturday April 2nd.  It's an eight week experience where we meet twice as a group and twice in one-on-one private mentoring sessions. 

I have a special change happening with this class: the whole thing will be held at the Pink House.

I did the first class at an art gallery, the second class at a cool hip loft, and am realizing that it's just not me.  I wanted to be more authentic to who I am and how I work, so I decided to invite you guys into my home studio.  I want to show you exactly how to make the most ordinary spaces look interesting and bright and lovely.  Yes, art galleries and lofts are cool..... but what happens when you get back to your house which probably... isn't as cool?  I think that this will inspire you to go home and do the same thing in your own space.  So.  Want to come over?  Want an experience that will help you tap into your own unique vision and learn how to see light?  Want to expand your way of seeing your world?  Sign up here.  There are 7 spots available, and only 5 left.

Here are the photos i took of everyone while we were learning about portraits.  I believe that the best way to learn about photographing people is to experience what it's like to be in front of the camera.  It's nerve-wracking, which is exactly why it helps!  You need to know what you're doing to other people when you're the one with the camera.  You know?  So, these are the images I took of each person as I explained exactly how my eyes were seeing each lighting situation.

My fingers are crossed that you will host another class in June/July. I'll be in CA for most of that time and would LOVE the opportunity to take this class. You are such an inspiration!
