I have talked about seminars, workshops and courses previously, here on the blog. I love the idea of giving back and helping aspiring photographers and my fellow professional photographers. Not only do I have a huge passion for teaching and inspiring other photographers, but I really think that through education, we can raise the bar for professional photography.

I have taught on subjects such as basics-of-photography, Adobe Lightroom, workflow, off-camera flash, album design, portrait lighting, embracing change, branding, marketing, finances, techniques for photographing, and so on. I am excited and honoured to be speaking this coming March on a completely new and totally different topic.

I am honoured to have been asked, along with my EnlightenMe partner, Robert Nowell, to join the line-up of amazing photographers speaking at the upcoming Awaken workshop, on March 20th and 21st. Awaken workshops is a 2 day seminar designed to awaken your spirit as a photographer and get you thinking differently about your business and your life. We are working on an AMAZING program, and with the other lined up speakers, we know that this is going to be a hugely successful workshop!

The Awaken speakers include:
- Amina and Justin from StillMotion
- Dave from Dave and Charlotte
- Bryan from Bryan Caporicci Photography
- Robert, from Robert Nowell Photographer
- Charlotte from Rainbow Eleven
- Rebecca from Rebecca Wood Photography
- Taylor from Taylor Jackson Photography

Typically, winter-time is the slower time of the year, here, at the studio. This year, it seems as if winter has flipped over on us, because we're busier than ever (hey, not that I'm complaining or anything)!

As you can tell from the activity here on the blog, we have been having a total hoot with our portrait sessions as of late, and we have been connecting and meeting some really amazing individuals.

We have also had prints, albums, and books coming in-and-out of the studio quicker than you can imagine! I thought that it would be neat to show you a few photographs of some of our recent books and albums. We have loads of samples of our products in our studio for you to come and look at, but , we understand that everyone can't make it in all of the time, and that's why we like to share some of these images on our blog.

The only problem with looking at the images of our products on our blog is that you can't touch, feel and smell them. These prints, frames,books and albums are the highest quality fine-art products available on the market today, and I will stand by that statement! We have searched, tirelessly, high-and-low, for the best possible products to be offering our clients. Why? Because our clients deserve the best, because they ARE the best!

Aww ... isn't that a nice sentiment!?

When the idea of "Portraits of Pelham" was born, I was very excited about all of the possibilities that it could bring. Through "Portraits of Pelham", I have been so fortunate to have been able to meet some amazing people in the town of Pelham, and I am very much looking forward to meeting some even more amazing people.

I am a firm believer in sharing the gifts and the talents that you have. There are so many photographers who photograph exclusively for "business purposes" and lose track of what photography really is. Photography, to me, is magic; to be able to create an image that stops time dead in it's tracks and records that specific moment forever is just miraculous to me. I am happy to be able to share my gift and my talent and use photography to better the community. And that's why I started "Portraits of Pelham".

Two other great Pelhaminians (I just made that up - I think it sounds good) who are using their talents for the betterment of the community are the genius's behind MyPelham.com - Cathy Berkhout-Bossee and Melissa Wells. As you may know, I have teamed up with MyPelham.com to help spread the word about "Portraits of Pelham".

MyPelham.com is an online resource for Pelhaminians (I really think this word could catch on) to keep up-to-date on all the latest news, events and specials happening in Pelham. There is also a business directory, an article-database of articles written by fellow Pelhaminian's and an Area Map for those of you who may be new to the community. If you are a Pelhaminian, head on over to MyPelham.com and check it out. Be sure to subscribe to their newsletter, too, as they send out weekly updates on "What's Happening" in Pelham.

This week's "Portraits of Pelham" feature is in the final process, so be sure to check back soon to meet Wolfgang Sterr - the owner and chef at Wildflower Restaurant and Market. Keep your eyes on Portraits of Pelham" title="www.PortraitsOfPelham.com">www.PortraitsOfPelham.com for more images and updates!

Are you a photographer, or looking to get more into photography? Do you have a DSLR but don't know the difference between Manual Mode and Manual Focus? Are you going to school for photography, but want that extra edge?

We had such a fantastic response and received incredible feedback from our Spring Photography Class, that we decided to open up another opportunity for aspiring photographers.

You are invited to join us for our Winter Basics-of-Photography Class! This class will take place on Sunday, February 21st, from 9:00am - 5:00pm (lunch and coffee included). The class will be held at our new studio in Fonthill, on Highway 20.

You will learn more about the basics of photography, including shutter speed, ISO, Aperture, the rules of composition, as well as how to see and shoot more creatively. We will also have a 1-hour photo-outing (see sample from our last class's photo-outing here), where we will go out, together, with a model, and practice what we have learned. You will then be invited to show to the class your photographs for critiquing and discussion.

Our only requirement is that attendees own a Digital SLR Camera and are comfortable with the basic operation of it.

Please sign up here.
