Give the Gift of Photography

Photography is a gift that Keeps Giving

I’ve been in photography and videography professionally for about 5 years. It was a hobby for much longer than that but about 5 years ago is when I got serious about learning the craft. Since then, it’s taken me on numerous adventures and I’ve met some of the coolest people in the world all because of a camera. Getting started though can be a little scary.

A new camera can be an awesome gift for Christmas. It’s a gift that truly keeps on giving. What’s even better is coupling that gift with some basic photography knowledge. Or even if you bought your own camera, navigating the various menus and dials and buttons can be a bit overwhelming.

Photography Workshop

We’re hosting a small workshop January 5th at PJ’s Coffee in El Dorado, AR. For this workshop, we will begin by meeting for about an hour to go over basic camera functions and terminology. After you have a general grasp of your camera, we will spend about another hour as a group exploring down town El Dorado and practicing what you’ve learned.

This session is specifically geared toward new photographers or new camera owners. If you’ve been shooting for years, you are also welcome to join but this is not going to cover any other advanced photography techniques. We’re starting with the basics. We hope to just have fun and learn some basic photography together.

What will I need?

Participants should bring a camera of their own. The brand doesn’t matter. This isn’t a brand specific session. I personally shoot Sony but any brand will do. Menus options may vary and I may or may not know exactly where to find all of the settings on your camera, but we’ll figure it out. The technique and the terminology is the important part.

What about my iPhone? I phones take good pictures and they are handy. But, an iPhone camera is probably not the best option for this session. You’ll need a real camera. Point and shoot is fine. DSLR is fine. Mirrorless is fine too. You just need a real camera.

There are lots of different lenses available for most cameras. The lens you use for this session is not that important. We’ll use what ever lenses you have. A kit lens that came with your camera will be fine. we will cover some basics of other lenses though and their functions and uses but there is no need to buy or bring any specific lense

Let your Christmas be Furry and Bright

This weekend, we teamed up with the girls from Roaming Paws Retreat and Union Kennel & Farm Supply for a day of celebrating our furry family members and helping the Union County Animal Protection Society by shooting Christmas mini sessions.

Roaming Paws Retreat & Home Care is a pet boarding group that helps take care of your pets when you have to leave town. These girls were a lifesaver in putting this shoot together.

Meanwhile Union Kennel & Farm Supply graciously allowed us to host the event at their store in El Dorado, AR and served as a drop-off point for additional food donations to the UCAPS animal Shelter.

In all, $190 plus additional food donations were raised from this event to benefit UCAPS. Thank you so much for helping us with this event. It was a lot of fun.
