Noemi Photography

This lovely couple came out in the pouring rain and were incredible sports as I taught the Practical Photography Workshop and photographed them! Hopefully the pictures aren’t too wet!

When I was 19 I went to School of Ministry in Toronto, Canada…that was 17 years ago. CRAZY! I made some incredible friendships that still exist today! I’m so thankful for the shaping years. What I learned about the Lord during that time really set the foundation for who I am today.

Andy was in the school with me and I persuaded him to drive up and bring the family so they could be my models for the workshop! Brace yourself for the cutest curly hair ever!

I have several inquiries about Focused Photography Workshops for 2012 and I’m so pleased! I love teaching photography workshops and I hope to continue for years and years.

I’m working hard to put together a schedule and description of each workshop to help you better plan (and get excited) for what’s to come. We sold out of the last couple of workshops that I did in 2011 so if you’re planning on coming please register sooner then later. I keep the class sizes smaller to make sure you get the most out of the workshop!

I have people ask questions about light all the time in my Photography Workshops so, I’m going to talk about it on my next two posts! I want to encourage you as a photographer that you can shoot anywhere! In fact, I think that’s the difference between a beginner photographer and someone who knows what they are doing behind a camera. So first, I’m going to show you where we did the shoot. A perfectly normal garage. You can see I chose a space at the front where the light is diffused and soft with dark shadows in the background. I used the pile of wood and the sheet of metal that had rusted for my backgrounds. I used a reflector to bounce light for some of the shots but, most were done with natural/available light! So, you can do this!

Happy 1st Birthday sweet boy!

Siblings are beautiful!

Love the color contrast between the blue sheet and the orange background.

Diffused light in front of the opened garage...Dad holding a rusty sheet behind him.

Love this photo - his expression is priceless...again, just natural light at the entrance of the garage!

CHEESE!
