Can you tell that we had a GREAT time at the Georgetown, Kentucky newborn workshop last weekend?!?! These ladies were awesome, such a fun group and so excited to learn and practice.  They also know and support each other, I’ve never met such a tight-knit group.  It makes me so happy to see photographers helping each other out.

Last weekend I had the amazing opportunity to teach a workshop in Port Huron, Michigan. The students were SOOO much fun!  These ladies are not only colleagues in MI but friends, and truly supportive of one another.   This image pretty much sums up these awesome photographers:

I had an awesome opportunity to teach at the Baby and Kid Conference in Malaga, Spain in January.  I gave a 90 minute presentation on stage to all the conference attendees, and the next day taught a 9 hour newborn workshop with a wonderful group of talented photographers from several European countries!  We had 3 beautiful newborn models and learned SO much!  Baby and Kid Spain Photographer Conference ~ Caralee Case Photography Baby and Kid Spain Photographer Conference ~ Caralee Case Photography Baby and Kid Spain Photographer Conference ~ Caralee Case Photography Idaho Falls, ID Newborn Infant Baby Photographer ~ Caralee Case Photography Baby and Kid Spain Photographer Conference ~ Caralee Case PhotographyBaby and Kid Spain Photographer Conference ~ Caralee Case Photography Idaho Falls, ID Newborn Infant Baby Photographer ~ Caralee Case Photography Idaho Falls, ID Newborn Infant Baby Photographer ~ Caralee Case Photography Baby and Kid Spain Photographer Conference ~ Caralee Case Photography Idaho Falls, ID Newborn Infant Baby Photographer ~ Caralee Case Photography Idaho Falls, ID Newborn Infant Baby Photographer ~ Caralee Case Photography

Hi friends, I’d like you to meet my custom USB drives! Idaho Falls ID Newborn Baby Children Birthday Cake Smash Family Photographer ~ Caralee Case photography

They are the little handy tools that help me deliver high-quality digital photos to my clients. I have used flash drives from USB Memory Direct since 2014, and I absolutely love them! As a colorful, bold, whimsical newborn photographer, these flash drives fit my branding colors and business perfectly. They represent a little bit of me every time I hand them over to a client.Idaho Falls ID Newborn Baby Children Birthday Cake Smash Family Photographer ~ Caralee Case photography

One of the main reasons I love flash drives SO much is that they work on all computers. Many new computers and laptops, including my own new laptop, no longer have disc drives, making it impossible to transfer my clients’ photos using a CD. USBs, on the other hand, work on all devices that have a USB port.Idaho Falls ID Newborn Baby Children Birthday Cake Smash Family Photographer ~ Caralee Case photography

I also love that I was able to custom design the front AND the back of each drive.  The back includes a little thank you message.Idaho Falls ID Newborn Baby Children Birthday Cake Smash Family Photographer ~ Caralee Case photography

When I deliver digital images and products to my clients, they receive a colorfully bag with the USB drive, a Thank You card, and a print release.   Along with all the other fun products they ordered.Idaho Falls ID Newborn Baby Children Birthday Cake Smash Family Photographer ~ Caralee Case photography

I truly adore packaging these flash drives in little custom tins that secure the flash drive in place. It also ensures that the flash drives will stay protected when I mail them to my clients. Idaho Falls ID Newborn Baby Children Birthday Cake Smash Family Photographer ~ Caralee Case photography

I always feel like I am handing over a luxury product to my clients because of the sleek and simple design of the drives. And they are customized with my colors and logo which makes them perfect!Idaho Falls ID Newborn Baby Children Birthday Cake Smash Family Photographer ~ Caralee Case photography

I want to thank USB Memory Direct for supplying me with awesome flash drives. Not once have I had a USB go bad on me, and the drives are always reliable and fast. Plus, they have great packaging options. I highly recommend their products!Idaho Falls ID Newborn Baby Children Birthday Cake Smash Family Photographer ~ Caralee Case photographyIdaho Falls ID Newborn Baby Children Birthday Cake Smash Family Photographer ~ Caralee Case photography

Hi friends, I just returned from an amazing conference in Malaga, Spain.   Here is a look at the vendors and products, the attendees, the speakers, and some of the fun we had.   🙂  You’ll see me at about 1:45 and again at the end, starting around 8:49.  I feel so blessed to be able to share my knowledge about photography with students all over the world.  They are always so kind and grateful, and they love to learn!

 

Thank you Congreso Baby&Kid Espana for this amazing opportunity!

We had SO MUCH FUN at the April 13-14 2018 Creative Captures Photography Workshop! We had an awesome group of students and wonderful models to work with. The only hiccup was, Minnesota had a blizzard warning for Saturday, the last day of our workshop. And boy they weren’t kidding. There was no snow at the beginning of the workshop on Sat, but by 4:30pm there was nearly a foot of snow! And….it was blowing and drifting like crazy.  Many of us had to get to Minneapolis that night to catch early Sunday morning flights, which is about an hour drive from the studio.  We decided to brave the storm, but it was definitely treacherous on some of the country roads.  The usual 60 minute drive took us about 2 hours, but we made it safely to the hotel near the airport!  And then…we learned that they had shut down the entire airport.  Which effected all flights for the next 2-3 days.  My Sunday morning flight was cancelled and I had to wait until Monday morning to fly home.  Minnesota seriously has some crazy weather!!!  But the weather didn’t stop us from having a great time, learning lots, and photographing some super cute babies:

This ended up being my favorite set up!  I’d had this floral posing fabric for a while and REALLY wanted to use it.  So I brought it to the workshop and I am in love with how it photographs.  It’s so colorful and vibrant, yet, baby is still the star of the show!  I hope I’ll have the opportunity to use this posing fabric again, it really is beautiful.  Next time…..with bright pink accessories!!!!  <3Caralee Case Photography Newborn Posing and Editing Workshop

On day 2 of the workshop we had boys lined up to model.  But because of the blizzard, only one model was able to make it to the studio.  He was adorable and I really enjoyed the 2 set ups that I got to do with him.  I can’t wait to see what Jennifer Nace was able to capture of this handsome little man.  Isn’t he just precious?  Caralee Case Photography Newborn Posing and Editing Workshop Caralee Case Photography Newborn Posing and Editing Workshop Caralee Case Photography Newborn Posing and Editing WorkshopCaralee Case Photography Newborn Posing and Editing Workshop Caralee Case Photography Newborn Posing and Editing Workshop

Our workshop group was amazing and very talented!  I am so lucky to be able to call them all my friends.  We keep in touch on-line, and continue helping each other learn and grow.  I miss you all!  What a fun and memorable time we had!  I love teaching and helping other photographers to improve their technical skills, their businesses, and hopefully their lives too, with tips and tricks for better pictures straight off the camera, shorter session times, quicker editing, and more time for fun and family.  THANK YOU to everyone who has chosen me to be their mentor.  It is truly an honor to share with you everything that I have learned about photography in the last 10 years!  Yep, I’ve been doing this for 10 years now.  🙂  I hope I will still have more opportunities to teach in the future.  If you are interested in a group or individual learning opportunity, please email me:  caraleecase@yahoo.comCaralee Case Photography Newborn Posing and Editing Workshop

In late March I had the opportunity to present at the Congreso Smile Conference in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and also give 2 full day newborn posing and editing workshops!  At the first workshop we had the sweetest baby boys come model for us.   They didn’t want to sleep at first, but eventually they gave in and posed beautifully for us.

He didn’t want to sleep as I was getting ready to lay him down onto the posing fabric, so I was talking to him softly and he gave me the sweetest smile!  I am so glad this moment was captured, and I hope that it shows how much I truly LOVE working with newborns.  z (3)z (5) z (4)03-26-18 (1) 900 03-26-18 (3) 900z (7)z (6) 03-26-18 (7) 900 03-26-18 (8) 90003-26-18 (10) 900 2 03-26-18 (22) 90003-26-18 (21) 900 03-26-18 (23) 900vthumbnail7 03-26-18 (24) 900 03-26-18 (25) 900 z (8)29060761_948276105353774_3926244572651473566_o 29060115_948275808687137_786165644202280581_o03-26-18 (10) 90003-26-18 (13) 90003-26-18 (15) 90003-26-18 (17) 90003-26-18 (18) 900   Baby boy #2 was SO adorable and had the cutest whispy, light colored hair.  z (9)z (10)z (11)03-26-18 (31) 900 03-26-18 (33) 900 03-26-18 (35) 900 03-26-18 (38) 900 03-26-18 (40) 900z (12) 03-26-18 (42) 900 03-26-18 (45) 900

The Congreso Smile Conference was very well attended (as you will see in the last picture), and everyone was so sweet, kind and welcoming.  I was one of the last presenters at the end of the conference.  You probably don’t know this about me, but presenting or public speaking or giving a lecture is one of my favorite things to do!  I don’t get nervous at all, because I’m talking about things I truly love and am passionate about, and that I think can help other photographers in their lives and in their businesses.  29662830_949421925239192_6579108633079196813_o29662307_949422748572443_3459880536155002601_o35306102_1885218351776416_6947375824827842560_n

Thank you to Catalina Avila and Congreso Smile for this wonderful opportunity.  I LOVE Argentina, and the photographers there are some of the sweetest and most welcoming people I have ever met.  I was sad to leave, but my husband and I made many great memories there that we will cherish forever.

In December I had the privilege of attending  and teaching about newborn photography at Congreso Smile in Guadalajara, Mexico.   It was my first time to Mexico and I absolutely LOVED it!  The photographers were amazing and so kind and welcoming.   During my one-day workshop we had 3 beautiful models to work with, 2 girls and one boy.  It was fun to work on posing, lighting, angles, exposure, and so much more, right alongside the students.  And then we ended our day with editing.  THANK YOU to everyone who helped to make this conference and workshop a success!  And now…..here are some of the fun images we took, and a few behind-the-scenes surprises too.

This has been a year of SO many firsts, and so many adventures in photography for me! Including my first time to Argentina!!! In October 2017 I had the pleasure of attending the Baby & Kid Argentina Conference in Buenos Aires, as a teacher and speaker.  I taught a one-day newborn workshop where we focused on lighting, posing, editing and so much more!  Our first little model was such a handsome boy:

I was the final speaker at the conference, and was SO nervous!  I’m not sure the nerves ever go away.  But once I start talking about what I love, and what I am passionate about, the nerves settle a bit and everything falls into place.  All the wonderful conference attendees:Caralee Case Photography Workshop ARGENTINA 2017 ~ Congreso Baby & Kid Caralee Case Photography Workshop ARGENTINA 2017 ~ Congreso Baby & Kid Caralee Case Photography Workshop ARGENTINA 2017 ~ Congreso Baby & Kid Caralee Case Photography Workshop ARGENTINA 2017 ~ Congreso Baby & Kid Caralee Case Photography Workshop ARGENTINA 2017 ~ Congreso Baby & Kid

It was such a joy to be able to teach at the Sept 2017 Creative Captures Photography Workshop! Once again, we gathered with an awesome, fun, talented group of photographers at Jennifer Nace’s studio in Waseca, MN!!! Our models were super sweet and cooperative, and the weekend was full of learning, inspiration, creativity, and so much more!!!! We photographed several handsome boys on day 1, working on several different poses and lighting techniques for newborns:

We also worked with precious little Finley on day 1, and learned about lighting, camera settings, styling, and interacting with children.  Miss Finley wasn’t sure about giving us smiles, but her serious expressions are darling too.  🙂DSC_3202 900 DSC_3282 900 DSC_3329 900 3DSC_3217 900

Such a fun group of ladies!!!  I love making new friends that enjoy photography as much as I do.  It’s wonderful to have a support system in this industry.DSC_3375 900 On day 2 we photographed more beautiful newborn babies, and worked on posing, transitioning, lighting, angles, exposure, color, working with props, wrapping and more.  This time, it was the girls turn!

My friend Becky, is the creator and the artist behind all the magic that happens at Intuition Backgrounds.  I’ve been working with her for many years now, but more importantly, she has been a wonderful, caring friend to me.  And when she had her baby girl in August, it was such an honor to be asked to go to Perryville, Missouri to photograph her sweet newborn, Ella, along with my bff Jennifer Nace.  We got to photograph baby Ella at the NEW Intuition Backgrounds Studio, where they print and ship all the backdrops and props.  It was fun to have access to a variety of backdrops and floors and props, and a pleasure to meet Becky’s sweet little baby girl.  Here is a little behind the scenes video put together by Intuition Backgrounds:

Here are some images from sweet Ella’s newborn session.   Isn’t her hair just incredible?!?!?  I don’t think I’ve ever photographed a blonde newborn before!

In August 2017 I had the incredible opportunity to teach at the Click Family Photography Congress in Sao Paul, Brazil.   Some highlights of my trip include teaching 2 group workshops, photographing several gorgeous models, making so many new Brazilian photographer friends, and being one of the concluding speakers at the conference.  Here are some highlights from the 1st workshop, and our sweet model, Livia:

Our second little model, Mirella, wasn’t really a fan of sleeping, so we started off with a demonstration on wrapping.  And got lots of cute photos with her sweet eyes open.  I love the fun, colorful headband she is wearing from Simply Sweet:Caralee Case Photography Workshop ~ Newborn Infant Baby Photographer Caralee Case Photography Workshop ~ Newborn Infant Baby PhotographerCaralee Case Photography Workshop ~ Newborn Infant Baby PhotographerCaralee Case Photography Workshop ~ Newborn Infant Baby PhotographerCaralee Case Photography Workshop ~ Newborn Infant Baby PhotographerCaralee Case Photography Workshop ~ Newborn Infant Baby PhotographerCaralee Case Photography Workshop ~ Newborn Infant Baby Photographer
