APW VII--Flash Photography!

September 4th, Chris of La Brisa Photography (http://www.labrisaphotography.com/) held a mini-workshop to teach us some tricks about how to use flash, when we need it, when we don't, how to fill flash, etc. I arrived late not only because I had to work til 6, but I was not so good with the directions....and it was me not the directions.

Once I got there we had two subjects to photograph, Cade and Samantha. Cade was having a great time playing in the dirt, the grass, and with his truck. He even tried to climb over the fence! He is an adorable little boy! He was really excited to let everyone take his pictures once his mom let him know they could go get ice cream when they were all done. Samantha was our other model...she did a great job. We all had to laugh and tell her that we normally don't leave anyone in the same position for as long as we had her holding them, but she just kept on working it!

Thanks again Chris for another amazing workshop! Here are some of my favorites from the day:

APW V--June 28, 2009

Aspiring Photographer Workshop V was held Sunday, June 28th by Chris from La Brisa Photography (www.labrisaphotography.com). I was not able to stay the whole time, but had a great time while I was there! The location for this shoot was on the K-State campus. We had two sets of models this time. Kelli and Tyler had recently celebrated their 1 year anniversary. Meagan and Dalton were our other models and they are dating. It was really fun to get to use unique props like you see in the first picture! Here are several of my favorites from the evening:

APW IV--May 4, 2009

Once again, May was awhile ago, but I want to include it anways! I went to APW IV hosted by Chris from La Brisa Photography (http://www.labrisaphotography.com/). This time it was in the evening in Manhattan. The Powers family members were our models for this workshop. Chris helped us with posing, lighting, and showed us a little on how he edits. He even shared some yummy cake with us!!! I had an amazing time...my favorite pictures from the evening are:

APW III-April 26, 2009

So, I know April was a little while ago, but I thought I would try to start from then to now with my pictures. Chris of La Brisa Photography (http://www.labrisaphotography.com/) has been hosting Aspiring Photographer Workshops and I attended my first one April 26th really early in the morning. This was his 3rd APW he hosted. We were shooting engagement pictures for Jacob and Amber, who are friends of his. We took the pictures at the train bridge in Manhattan, KS. It was a great morning of learning and fun! Here are a couple of my favorite pictures from that day:
