The dreaded words “Hard drive failure”!

Last night my husband and I along with our new daughter, Kailee, spent 3 hours at the apple store. My computer has been running slow and at times just shutting down on it’s own, so I wanted to see if apple could tell me what was wrong. The genius bar at the apple stores really are the reason why I buy apple because you just bring in your computer and they will fix it!

Well last night they told me the dreaded words “harddrive failure, we have to keep your computer for a few days to repair it”. What??? No computer for a few days? I don’t think I’ve ever been away from my laptop more than a day!!! So I reluctently handed over my precious baby so that she could be fixed. Unfortunatley they are going to have to wipe out the hard drive and give me back a very empty computer. Luckily I was able to back up my things before they took her away.

All this to say, this is going to slow down correspondence greatly for the next few days as all I have at home is my apple iPhone. So PLEASE bear with me and be patient with me. If you have emailed me it might take some time to respond because I don’t have all my information as accesible right now.

Oh the joys of technology!! Luckily when I get my baby back she will almost be brand new!!

Those dreaded words always make my heart stop…hope your ‘puter is back soon from the doctor!

Create Better Images Workshop I & II

Photobucket

Jennifer and I are thrilled with how many of you out there have expressed interest in our next Create Better Images Photography Workshop! As we have mentioned previously, we will be doing another beginner workshop as well as an intermediate class on Saturday, November 1st. You can expect the registration forms & details to be posted to our blogs within the week so you can reserve your spots, but here is a little general overview information so you can plan as needed::

Create Better Images Workshops

Beginner Workshop 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM
Kim Jarman Photography Studio – Mesa, AZ
We will be covering the fundamentals of photography: ISO, shutter speed and aperture and how they interrelate. Our goal is to get you shooting manually (and therefore more creatively), teaching you how to turn off your flash and getting images that pop and wow. To see the flyer from the last workshop for more details on the actual topics covered, please click here.

$169 ($149 “early bird rate” for those who register before Oct 12th)
Participants will need a camera, any lenses they have and their manual. SLR camera strongly recommended since we cover SLR camera functions.

Intermediate Workshop with Live Model Shoot 2:30 PM – 7:00 PM
Kim Jarman Photography Studio – Mesa, AZ
This workshop is for those who understand the fundamentals, as it will build upon all of those skills. We will review them, especially in live practice, but not spend as much time on the basics as the beginner class. Most importantly, we will have 2 models (a toddler and a high school senior) and will divide into 2 groups for the live shoot portion. This workshop will be very hands-on and after the shoot, you will actually process your images via Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop and share a few of them. We will review shooting techniques, posing suggestions, and go very in-depth with the actual shooting process. The detailed flyer will be posted with the registration form within the week.

$269.00 ($249 early bird rate for those who register before Oct 12th)
Participants must have (or rent) a digital SLR camera for this, as well as bring any lenses they have. We also ask that you bring a laptop since you will be processing your images. If you do not have a laptop, please let us know.

Both workshops are limited to 20 participants. Our goal is to make the workshops as interactive and friendly as possible, where attendees feel comfortable to ask questions and share in this small-group format.

All spots are first-come, first-serve after the forms are posted, so please watch our blogs in the next several days for the info. If you have previously emailed us expressing interest, you will receive info via email immediately preceding the registration blog post. Thank you for your interest! We hope to see you in November.

*************
We are looking for a toddler model for this shoot. Toddler must be between ages 1-1/2 and 4 and parent will be on-hand during shoot. Parents will receive free images on a disc including images from Jennifer, Kim and each of the participants. We advise that the toddler model not be one of the workshop participants’ child. The reason is that the parent may not be able to disengage and focus as well on the shooting part if their child needs them.
