Thank you for being so lovely.
Practical Photography - Evening FOCUSED Workshop
Thank you to my lovely models and the women who came out for the Workshop! We had a great time together. Here's what the attendees are saying:
Do you have any other suggestions for future Workshops? My only suggestion is that you to invite me to all future workshops you have! :)
I would LOVE to attend a photography round table workshop! Definitely count me in! I think that it would be so informative and answer a lot of questions in my head regarding those topics!
Thank you again! I left your workshop feeling so inspired and more confident. I feel like attending your workshop was just what I needed and gave me the push I so desperately needed to really get serious about pursing my love of photography. You're awesome Noemi, It was so great to finally meet!
~Chris
Noemi, Thank you for the workshop! First of all, I learned so much at your workshop. It was a perfect fit for me. I feel like I was able to apply many new things the next day. I practiced on my kids and although they were not as cooperative as your models, I got some very nice shots. I was able to "embrace" the sunlight a bit more and try some new things. I love learning and growing. You are a natural teacher and fun to listen to and interact with. Sarah
I've heard back from a couple of the attendees and they've posted some pictures. Here's where you can check them out! www.rhondaharrisphotography.blogspot.com www.unexpected-joys.blogspot.com

I'm already planning the next Workshop! It's going to be JANUARY! And it's something new...Business FOCUSED Photography Workshop!
It's only going to be available for anyone who has attended a NoemiPhotography FOCUSED Workshop before. We are going to have a "roundtable" of sorts. We're going to sit around my dining room table and talk shop!
This is going to be your opportunity to ask every question you want to ask a PRO Photographer but can't or won't or have tried but no one will answer you.
I'm going to have one-on-one time and group discussions about:
blogging,
website design,
marketing,
social networking,
packages,
pricing,
Lightroom
and I am going to have you send questions ahead of the Workshop so I'm sure to answer them!
Doesn't this sound like so much fun?
More details to come.
Email me if you're interested and I'll contact you when the details have been firmed up.
I'm limiting the number of attendees to 6 to make sure I have a good chunk of time with everyone!

Part two - Professional Photography tutorial
Here's what I'm working on today! Posing. Understanding posing will go along way...you'll think of your profile pictures differently, take a minute to give instructions to anyone your capturing, and be happier with your shots! Remember if what you're reading is new and eye-opening AND you're interested in developing your photography...we still have a couple spots open at the upcoming FOCUSED Photography Workshop!
Yes, there is a whole art/craft/world of posing and I love understanding it so that I can bring the best out of each person I photograph. I'm going to walk you through what makes a good shot and what makes a shot great!
Take a look at some of my examples and then check out what other pros are saying!
If you missed Part One - it's not too late to check it out!
Part One - Professional Photography Tutorial
I'm working on a photography e-booklet that is going to so helpful for everyone interested in photography! I wish someone had handed me this tool when I was starting to shoot professionally 8 years ago. I think it's perfect for the stay-at-home-Mom trying to capture her kids and for the up-and-coming-professional-photographers trying to learn everything they can to improve their skills! It is simply put and straightforward...kinda like me! I'm going to break up this tutorial into two posts one on making the best out of every location and the other on posing. Here's what I'm working on today! Location, location, location. They say location is everything but, i disagree...a good photographer can get a shot in the perfect situation and perfect location but a great photographer can get a shot anywhere and anytime. That's the difference of hiring someone who just picked up a DSLR at a camera store and started a business AND the photographer with training and experience. In most cases, you do get what you pay for.
Here's our not so beautiful portrait location...check out the stunning houses in the background! I chose this location because of the light. The sun is going down so if I put my lovely subject with her back towards the sun then I get gorgeous back light coming through her hair AND because she's not facing the sun she's relaxed and not squinting.
Are you focused on photography?
Jons Family Portraits - Prior Lake, MN
I love this family! They are so sweet and well...gorgeous! I've been wanting to capture them for a long time and I'm so glad it finally worked out for them to be our models for the FOCUSED Photography Workshop! I knew this couple when they were "just friends", "courting", "engaged", "newly married", then surprise! "pregnant!" and again, and again! Children are a blessing from the Lord and this couple has been incredibly blessed with three beautiful girls...so far!
Dugan Family Portraits - Prior Lake, MN
I love capturing families. I love capturing people I have known for a long time. I love being able to see people get married and have kids and see how they change. I love watching people parent and come into their own. I seeing a Mom dream and then work to make her dreams happen. I love being a small part of this...beautiful family! My images from the last Mom FOCUSED Photography Workshop:

PART 1 - Pictures from the FOCUSED Photography Workshop - Prior Lake, MN

Counting Down to the FOCUSED Photography Workshop
In just over a month I'm hosting a FOCUSED Photography Workshop! I want you to come. Why? 1. I get tons of inquiries of people wanting to intern or assist me. I can't train everyone while I'm on the job so this workshop is a day for you to get into my head. You'll learn in-camera and practical techniques that will make you a better photographer.
2. I love to teach! There's nothing like having people who share the same passion for photography in my home. Seeing the "light come on" and knowing they are walking away with skills they didn't have before they came.
3. People learn and grow. I can think of several women who started at the workshop, took the information and went for it. They are now established photographers. Of course, I won't take all the credit because becoming a great photographer takes a lot of hard work but, I know the Workshop was a piece of education that help give them confidence and get to them where they are today. They have told me so!
4. It's fun!
5. What else are we going to do on the October 30th, 2010?
Register Here. Space is limited.
Every time I've hosted the FOCUSED Photography Workshop I've left one spot open for a person you (my faithful readers) nominate and give reasons for why they should come for free. Of course I want to do that again. Who do you think should win this time? Email me: info@noemiphotography.com

Your planning and preparation definitely showed and I was so energized leaving your house. You have an uncanny ability to light a fire under people…and I loved watching the group get so excited about different things through out the day. You did a wonderful job and were truly inspiring! (Jacquelyn – attendee)
“Thank you so much for this, it was actually a dream come true for me because like I had told you before it is exactly what I needed trying to get into the business.

"Thank you so much for all of the time you took to answer our questions and help all of us learn more about photography. I really enjoyed learning from you and you have such a wonderful fun and upbeat personality it's contagious! I can see why all your families stick with you!
I learned sooooooo much yesterday at the shoot. It was great just getting to have the experience and have you talk us all through it and give tips along the way. Many of the things you mentioned were not necessarily questions I would have thought to ask....but definitely things that helped me to improve my photography. I just wanted to take a minute to let you know that I really really enjoyed the workshop. I wouldn't have changed anything! (Molly - Attendee 2009)
"I have learned a ton from you and your workshop, now it is just putting it all to use and still figuring out the numbers. I still have some questions on that one, but I am going to play around and see what I can figure out. Thanks again for everything!" (Melissa - Attendee 2009)
