I love being able to work with so many AMAZING people. And often (more then often) I get to capture love. Simple. Pure. Beautiful love. It's why I do what I do. I'm fascinated by people and their relationships...and then, they trust me to tell their story. Meet Blair & Derek. They are engaged and in love...not that you needed me to tell you that.
Ohh my goodness! I had such a great time teaching this group...I love it when people come ready to learn and have fun doing the stuff! Here's our class and our gorgeous models :)
Want to send a friend to the photography workshop for free? Write a post on https://www.facebook.com/NoemiPhotography page about why she deserves to come.
One lucky winner will be chosen to attend next weekend's workshop.

I love capturing boys. I know I've got 10 seconds to pose and shoot before they start bumping and the bumping turns into wrestling and the wrestling turns into clothes getting dirty! I love it! This family makes me smile.
Yes...I have captured this family before AND I will capture them again. They are very close to my heart...and they photograph well!

Wedding FOCUSED Photography workshop July 28th, 2012 I am so excited for this workshop! Have a mentioned it's going to be unlike any Workshop I've ever taught? I'm going to have 2 sets of bride and groom models - AND THEY ARE GORGEOUS! This workshop is going to be killer for portfolio building shots and learning how to tell a story through images.

I hope you are able to come!
Roundtable FOCUSED Photography Workshops Oct 20th, 2012 If you've taken a NoemiPhotography Workshop EVER you qualify for this workshop. The roundtable was designed for those of you starting a photography business and wanting/needing a place to have your work critiqued, ask questions, learn from others at the same stage as you, figure out pricing and branding...it's so incredibly encouraging!
Fall Mini Sessions - Oct. 13th, 2012! This is my first time posting about this and I'm just giving you the date so you have the "heads-up!" Registration won't start until the end of June.

Enjoy your summer. I would love to capture it for you OR at least help you capture it! Please email me at info@noemiphotography.com if you have any questions.
Five summers ago I had several beginning photographers ask me if they could come alongside to watch everything I do and be able to ask all about it...I wanted to help but I didn't want to do all of that in front of a client so I started hosting and teaching FOCUSED Photography Workshops. And I've been teaching a few a year ever since and I love it! I posted the sneak preview earlier this spring but now I'm ready to tell you the details!
This year I'm going to do something I've never done before (which I totally love doing!) I'm going to do a Wedding FOCUSED Photography Workshop! This is going to be incredible.
Up to 12 people will be able to join the experience of two wedding stories. I have models lined up (2 couples - girls dressed in a wedding dresses and suits for the boys!) AND the whole focus of the workshop is to teach you about telling the story of love. "The big story" is the one we all understand and relate to...Cinderella meets her prince Charming. And "the individual story" is all learning the couple and telling their journey of love. Every couple is different! Your job as the photographer is to learn them and tell their story. (Seriously, THE greatest job in the world!)
Who should attend?
Aspiring and/or established photographers who want to freshen up their portfolios and learn new technical and creative photography techniques. *Specifically for photographers interested in understanding the business of weddings and desiring to expand their wedding portfolio. Learn how photojournalism works...how to tell the couples story through pictures!
Cost Includes:
- Over 5 hours of hands-on training with Noemi Hedrick

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!
