2021 WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT

Sunday, March 7, 2021

Hello photography friends!!!!!!!  I’ve had lots of inquiries about small group newborn workshops and other educational opportunities I’m offering THIS YEAR, especially since I had to cancel 7 workshop dates and locations in 2020 due to Covid.   I’m overjoyed to announce that I will be offering 2 workshops this year!!!!!!  In June 2021 I’ll be in Georgetown Kentucky, and then in August I’ll be in Missouri at the Intuition Backgrounds by Becky Gregory studio!!!!!  Information on both workshops and what is included can be found here.  I hope to see some new AND some familiar faces this year.  Contact me with questions or to arrange a payment plan, I am more than happy to help!

Curious what others have to say?  You can view student reviews and testimonials on my website:  http://www.caraleecasephotography.com/#!/Workshops

Have you ever tried using a digital background?  I love that they can be so quick and easy as seen in this video tutorial.  In this case, I’ve designed the images with my props, flowers, greenery, layers, bowls, furs, etc, and photographed it with my big beefy camera.  All YOU have to do is insert your own newborn photo! (Examples below)  Today the NEW Holiday Digital Backgrounds are available!!!!!!!!  I love traditional Christmas colors like red and green, but I also like to use different, fun and unique color combinations to add variety to the holiday season portrait options.

New to digital backgrounds?  Here is a quick VIDEO TUTORIAL and some visual samples of how digital backgrounds work:

This design below is SO MUCH FUN!!!!  I added Christmas decorations to 2 different versions of this background, and then took it all away to create a simpler year-round option:

Here are some other samples of the NEW Holiday Designs in use:

Happy creating!!!!

I cannot even begin to explain all the fun that I had at the two Perryville, Missouri Workshops at the Intuition Backgrounds Studio. First of all, it was fun to see how the backdrops are printed and shipped. It was fun to be able print a custom backdrop to use at the workshop. And it was awesome that we got to shop from Intuition’s prop stash and hundreds of Birdie Baby Boutique headbands. Our newborn workshop models were beautiful, all the students were able to take pictures and practice by my side, and…these girls were FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will never forget this awesome group of ladies. #FriendsForLife Enjoy a look at some of the gorgeous models we had the pleasure of working with during the workshop:

Kembree ~ 1 week old

Talk about FUN…these lovely ladies attended the workshop in Austin, TX (technically in Round Rock, TX).  In case you can’t tell by our group picture, we had such a great time!!!!!!!!!  We learned a lot, laughed a lot, photographed gorgeous newborn models, edited, had several ‘AH-HA!’ moments, and learned some ‘life changing tips’, as described by one student.  Nothing makes me happier than to hear those types of things from my students.  I truly care about each and every student, and want to help them in any way I can to improve their businesses AND their lives.

I can’t wait to show you all the beautiful models we worked with.  More pictures to come soon!!!!!

I have been teaching photography workshops since 2012, and it has been amazing!! Watching ‘my’ students grow, hone their craft, and reach the level of quality and success they desire makes me SO happy. I say ‘my’ students, because I love and care about EACH ONE of my students! Even long after our workshop has taken place, I’m there to continue the learning and support of the students; to be their cheerleader, advisor, friend, brainstorm helper, an ear to vent their troubles too, whatever they need. I LOVE teaching!!! It is in my heart, it is in my blood, I am passionate about it, and I strive to always give 150%!

 

A few days ago I received this message from a July 2019 workshop student, and wanted to share it with you!
