Champagne, Photography and Best Friends
You know what? I am really lucky to have so many great girlfriends in my life. A great group of friends who you grow with over the years and are able to share life experiences with--marriage, babies, kids, teenagers. Who you can let long stretches of time creep by, but the moment you see each other again, it's like no time has passed at all. Who you know would just drop everything to come and see you in your time of need(or simply because WINE....that, too). Well, I wanted to find a way to celebrate those friendships and I decided that I would start to offer a night of champagne, photography and besties.
So, got an event that you and your girls want to celebrate? Bridal shower? Baby Shower? Birthday? Just because? How about that mom's group looking for a way to just spend an afternoon or an evening without the kids? Well, here's your chance.
CHAMPAGNE AND SHUTTER SPEED
$99(+gst)/per person
It includes champagne, snacks, and your choice of one of three photography courses:
- THE FULL MEAL DEAL: Get your camera off of auto and on to manual. For those of you who all have dSLR's and no idea how to work them. Dana will show you the basics of exposure to get you started documenting your own family in a creative way.
- THE HAPPY MEAL: Improve your composition and hear all about Dana's tips for documenting your own life no matter what camera you are using.
- THE BUFFET: Designed for intermediate photographers who just want to pick Dana's brain on all things photography related.
Dana can host it in her lovely studio in Okotoks, AB or one of you can host it in your home(as long as you are in the Calgary area). These are available on a very limited basis, but Dana would love to hear from you to see if she could help you celebrate with your girlfriends.
**A minimum of 8 people and maximum of 12 women can be present. The event will be approximately 2 hours long.
Big Camera Class
How to Shoot Your Family: A Photography Workshop for Moms
I know that lots of you have big fancy cameras that you secretly use in Auto and don't understand why the photographs are so crappy so you resort back to using your iPhone. Yup. I've seen you do it. Some of you have even been so brave as to tell me you do it. Well, I am super excited to be hosting an event this January to help you get that camera off of manual and finally take better pictures of your own kids.
In this two hour class, I will talk about all the different gear and WHY it is different. I will also talk about what gear you want to use for what type of shot. I will also demystify exposure for you and get you started on taking that big fancy camera off of auto and on to full manual. In the end, we will talk a bit about composition and where to begin looking to help make your photographs better.
This is a great class for moms and dads alike(even grandparents), but also a great class if you are a small business owner looking to improve your images for social media. I'll even start a Facebook group for everyone when we are done so you can help support each other to keep going!!
