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 January I had an amazing opportunity to travel to Malaga Spain, and participate in the 1st edition of the Baby&Kid España conference. Spain is such a beautiful place, with even more beautiful people. Every one I met was so kind and welcoming and made me feel at home, even though I was 5,274 miles away from home. We had beautiful little models for the newborn workshop, and here are some of the fun images we captured:

My husband came to Malaga with me, and was a magnificent assistant, as well as the designated cell-phone-picture-taker while I was working.  🙂  And thanks to him, I have a few behind-the-scenes photos to share with you!  First, this is Antonio.  He volunteered his beautiful studio in Malaga for the newborn workshop and was an amazing host!  His studio was perfect, large and spacious, filled with beautiful artwork on the walls, and stocked with all the supplies, equipment and props that I could have ever needed to photograph 3 sweet models.  Idaho Falls, ID Newborn Infant Baby Photographer ~ Caralee Case photography workshop Spain
