Photography for everyone - a basic class

Beginning Tuesday, January 4th I will be hosting another public photography class at Immanuel Baptist Church in Corbin, Ky. Who is this class for you ask? If you nod your head or exclaim 'yes!' to at least two of the below, you should join us.

You have a good eye but you are wrestling with your digital camera.

You have good gear, but an eye that needs some training.

Your kids and pets deserve better pictures than what you are currently giving them.

All the buttons on the back of your camera remain a mystery to you.

You are regularly asking 'how did you take that photo?'

You know someone who could take great photos if they just had some basic knowledge.

Your photos look great on camera, but you are unsure what to do with them on the computer.

You want to spend more quality time with your favorite photographer.

You are unsure what to give your best friend for Christmas.

Enter 'Photography for everyone - taking better photos of the things you love.' A five- week class that will meet once a week for about an hour and a half. The class takes place at Immanuel Baptist Church, but will go on location and to the studio for hands-on experience. The class will cover:

• basics on photography (shutter-speed, ISO, aperture, white balance)
• mechanics of your own camera
• image processing, sharing, printing and archiving
• hands-on exercises on location and in-studio with live models
• photo critiques, tips, and equipment recommendations

This class is for everyone but limited to the first 20 participants at a cost of $75.00. The $75.00 fee covers the five week class and five 8x10's of your best photos at the end of the class.

The Andersons - Part Two

I recently had the opportunity to work with Operation UNITE, creating some images and logos for the Accidental Dealer campaign. UNITE is a great organization run by some very dedicated people. I am glad I got to work on this project, and this is what I learned:

YOU MAY BE THE LOCAL DRUG DEALER.

Unless your medication is locked up, it is accessible to your children, your grandchildren, your nieces and nephews, your neighbors, or even your friends.

FACTS:

- Prescription drug abuse has risen 400 percent in the last decade

- Prescription drugs are the second most abused substances in the nation

- 2500 children each day in the U.S. experiment with prescription drugs for the first time

- Majority of teens first obtain drugs from a family member or a friends family member without their knowledge.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

- Talk to your kids about the dangers of drugs

- Lock up your medication and keep a monthly inventory

- If you suspect a problem or need more information, Operation UNITE can provide guidance and resources at 1-866-678-6483.

Zak, Staci and Logan are no strangers to my studio. They're always the best dressed clients, I just love their style. Logan is quite the energetic young man, but when it comes to his Nana, he loves to love on her... for just a minute that is, and then he's back to playing with Buzz and Woody. Check out some of their best shots and a few outtakes.

This was such a fun shoot! We met the Norvells out at this beautiful spread in the country with all kinds of great backgrounds, and shot until it got cold and dark. Beautiful family! Beautiful location!

WE HAVE A WINNER! Congratulations to Becky Rogers!

Becky has won a two hour on location photo shoot photographed by YOURS TRULY!

an online slideshow of her images set to music and

$100 in photo credit to use towards prints or products!

Thank you everyone who participated. Check back often for more prizes and specials!

Kirby & Corey's Engagement photos. I'll be shooting their wedding in January and if the amount of fun we had on their e-pics was any indication of their big day, I know it's going to be incredible. I definitely can't wait to work with them again!

Give me some water, vegetable oil, food coloring and milk and I'll give you...

A few weeks ago I was convinced that this fall wasn’t going to be very pretty. Fortunately, I was wrong and it ended up being a beautiful season. I’ve been making good use of the great weather and the other day I had a terrific shoot with Jennifer, Gabe, Shelby and Gabby. Everyone was so much fun to work with and we got some really fun family photos. Check out the slide show below and let us know what you think.
