Health | Amber Vorgang Guest Post | 4 Easy Self Care Tips

Monday, February 6, 2012

Sometimes the topics I most need to post about are handed to me and I don’t always see it but not this time. As soon as I had that first conversation I jotted down the idea and since that time, last week, I’ve heard the same words from three other women I know. Overwhelmed, running...

Health | 30 Days | BODYROCK

Sunday, January 15, 2012

Being a small business owner, I spend a lot of time in front of the computer. Over the past couple years I have noticed my posture has become somewhat hunched and my back has started to hurt at times. Turning 40 this month felt like a real wake up call. There are a lot of...

Yay Nikole!!!!
So so happy you are joining in on this. I am loving it. I update daily on Facebook and will be posting a week summary here from now on.

Great starting fit test.

Nikole

Just wanted to share my fit test results:

squat jump: 27

push up (modified): 33

burpees: 9

high knees: 36

switch lunges: 25

jumps: 20

straight abs (modified): 33

here we go!

how are you doing with your workouts?

Nikole

You have inspired me to try this as well! I have recently started following the paleo diet, which has made me feel amazing – and has really got my body craving strength and challenge. I also recently learned about crossfit, but I can’t afford the monthly membership to our local gym. I have also been looking into P90X, but this appeals to me even more. I can’t wait to see your results and I’m excited to get started on this myself. Thanks for the inspiration, love!

Thea

Yay Jennifer! I am so happy you are joining the body rock challenge! Please let me know how you do. Warning-day 2 workout is a bit crazy – 12 50 minute routines with up to 4 exercises each. I went through the end of the video and wrote down on a sheet of paper the modified versions and referred to t during the workout. Although on a couple I thought I would collapse-the workout went fast and felt good.

Thea

So glad you are doing it too Jess! In the middle of the workout I felt completely out of my league, and thinking of you kept me going

Thanks so much for this inspiration. I am going to take on the 30 day challenge myself. I just finished day 1. I came across this site and loved it….you are just the inspiration I needed to get going and do it. Thank you!!

Yay! I am excited and I am glad you reminded me to take a picture today:) Good luck, excited to see our progress!

I am so glad this class is being offered at Squam, so many people have camera but are unsure of settings, etc. YOU are an amazing teacher and are perfect for this!

Plus, the sprit sessions ~ Thea, you have a way of making everyone you work with feel at ease and feel beautiful. You know how to connect, and the end result is a great experience and gorgeous photos!!!!!

Meghan,
Thanks for asking this question! It is a great one.

At the beginning of the class, I will give instruction on Aperture, Shutter and ISO and explain how each setting affects an image.

After this each person will be guided to pick one or two things to work on experimenting with during class. This could be trying out aperture mode, playing in manual mode, using a reflector, experimenting with creating high key or low key images. This will allow each person, no matter what level of experience, to be able to challenge themselves with me right there to help them through! I will be happy to help anyone who feels unsure of what to focus on.

Then we will go outside to practice! Using some photo prompts we will adventure outdoors to play with light. I will share the settings I choose for each image we work on and then you will have some time to have fun and experiment yourself.

I will be there checking in to help in any way I can with camera settings, composition and to provide feedback.

At the end of class we will spend the remaining time, sharing our work with each other and reflecting on what we have learned.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Hope to see you in class!

Meghan @ Life Refocused

I’m interested in taking your class at Squam. Congrats on teaching there!!!

I was wondering if you could share a little more about what the class will be like…will the day have some specific instruction and/or critique/feedback? I’ve been working on my photography for a couple of years, so am not a total newbie but I’m not a beginner either. Is the class more geared to very new photographers? I know I have lots to learn and am really looking for a space to help me grow.

Thanks!

Bella

Thea! Your class sounds so, so good.
I’m so happy that your teaching next year. xo
