Inspire Boston 2010

This last week was the whirlwind to start the whirlwind of all whirlwinds for me… and the butterflies are still in my belly to prove it! So, to give you  a little back ground: I was a part of one of the BEST photo retreats / conferences / seminars I have ever been a part of! BIG thanks to Matt and Enna Grazier for dreaming this up and then finding the means to make it happen!!

Inspire Boston 2010 was amazing. It was beyond amazing, to be perfectly honest. There were so many photographers new to the business and so eager to learn and so many people eager and ready to share. It was great. And! It was at the Colonial Inn in Concord, MA- which was totally HAUNTED!!

My portion of the conference involved a live shoot- I taught a mini version of my posing workshop. Lens Pro To Go- a generous sponsor of Inspire Boston and future Ten Eyck Tuesdays sponsor hosted my shoot at their amazing space!! My models were my close friends the super talented and super busy photographers Jennifer and Jerome Braga of Studio 1923!! Our girl Jennie Boom Boom aka Jennie Fresa came up to work her beauty magic! Accessories care of the awesome White Dress by the Shore!!

Here we go.

Check out my Bragas…!

Jen is so beautiful!! And Jerome is great even out of focus!

So there was this home made ring light, right? And so?  What do you think happened next.

 

I had to change it up. And so I do.

And the tree was happy.

and then we got all Mr. and Mrs. Smith on each other! OK, well they started shooting me! Sounds violent but it was wonderful

Check out my dashing friend Mr. Jerome Braga!

What’s better than a Braga sandwich!!??

Being kissed by a Braga sandwich!! Jen was air-kissing me to spare me the lip gloss to cheek transaction that was going to happen – thanks girl!

Check out my class! SWALES! Robert Norman! Kris! They are some tall people

If you missed it this year, don’t miss it next year- Inspire Boston 2011 is going to be even better, if that is even possible!!

I’ll see you there!!

 

XOXOXO

ten eyck tuesday posing workshop

This past Tuesday ushered in a new workshop in the Ten Eyck Tuesday Photography Workshop line up: Posing! This is something that I used to really struggle with at shoots- you’ve got a great couple…and only 20 minutes to kick some butt and get some protraits done- NOW WHAT??

Rather than freak out and panic, I came up with a system that worked well for me and thought it would be a nice thing to share with my fellow photographers. Turns out I was right- we all had a lot of fun together and really got into the shooting flow-RIDA!

A big thank you to Lorena and Gerry for bucking up and working the elements, Ten Eyck Style!!

******

There are only a few spots left for the newly announced Wedding Wednesday Seminar in March 24, 2010

With a  BFA in Photojournalism from the acclaimed Rochester Institute of Technology and  seven years of business experience  under her camera bag, (because she doesn’t wear a belt) Carla will cover the behind the scenes of how to run a successful Wedding Photography Studio. Contracts, workflow, pricing, backing up, how to run your meetings, marketing, web site critique and more will all be covered to help get you in shape to focus on the most important part of your business:

taking amazing photographs for your clients to have forever and ever amen!

Let Carla share her thoughts on what has worked for her studio- and with close to 100 weddings going through her studio this year- and two small children and a husband and a love of curling her hair- where all Carla does is shoot, teach, blog and look pretty- come see what you can apply to your studio to help you find a better work – life balance!

******

Now, Back at the Hall of Justice…..

And for the record: this is my back yard!!!!! And no, I do not live in Wyoming. But it looks like I could!

This is how this city girl ROLLS, baby!! With the woods! And snow! And my little Mark Twain River!

 

Amanda from Orchard Cove Photography was yucking it UP with Lorena and Gerry- how could she not? They were all smiles for us

 

snuggle time WILLIE!!!

Yes. We are SO rocking the modified PROM pose, circa 2010!!

Jill of Heart Print Photography right before she saw me shooting her!

My girl Crista Acosta of Crista Acosta Photography was so much fun to hang with!!

follow me on twitter. come on!

After we warmed up at the studio we headed down the street to the UCONN Law School because it is beautiful there anyway, but with the new fallen snow it was just off the hook

During our shoot I did a timed five minute session to really show everyone how much you can get in a short amount of time… during this five minutes there was an avalanche! And all of this snow came down on Lorena and Gerry and I was like ‘KEEP SMILING! ACT LIKE YOU LOVE IT!’ OK so maybe they don’t love ME as much now, but I LOVE these shots!!!

How beautiful is she???

Hildi Todrin was backing it up with her Shootsac

Miss Crista in action

 

Andi Walpurgis of Shades of Images gets a little hands on

Yeah. A silhouette Carla Ten Eyck Style! Cuz it’s not a silhouette. See?

 

 

YOU lock it up!

Miss Jill with her coordinating hat and Canon

Super snuggle inside…..what a way to end!

 

Big big BIG thank yous to everyone for getting that we HAD to shoot outside in the snow and for toughing it out!

Can’t wait for the next workshop!!!

 

XO
