A couple months ago Amber contacted me to tell me she was starting her practice in Ayurveda nutrition as well as… show 1 comment Thea… these are all so gorgeous! Beautifully captured. Strait up storytelling. xo  Squam Art Workshops (Squam) Celebrates it’s 5th year Anniversary this coming year. To celebrate a new website was launched and it is remarkably beautiful. There will be 4 – that’s right-4 retreats in 2012! Amazing. There are so many interesting classes with the highest caliber of instructors. I am honored and beyond excited (clapping and… show 4 comments 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!!!!! xoxoxox Meghan, 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. 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! Thea! Your class sounds so, so good.  I met the lovely Cal Patch at SAW a few years ago. She is a genuine woman with a warmth and inner beauty that shine through her by means of her delightful laugh and ever-present smile. There is a calm about her that feels so centering, which makes being around her quite enjoyable.

I had heard great things about Maya from attendees at Squam Art Workshops (SAW) but our paths did not cross until the Spring 2010 session. My first real connection to her was in Spring of 2011 when I happened to photograph her class, at… show 2 comments I love you Thea! Thank you for this beautiful post… I am so grateful for our session at the point. Friendship and trust were found alongside some very important photos! I’m falling in love with her all over again…beautiful work, Thea.  I met BJ this summer when she brought over an Arbonne anti aging kit for me to try. My friend had told me about some wonderful results she was getting from Arbonne products so I decided to give them a try. Not only did I find a great anti aging product that I love, I… show 1 comment Thea, nice shoot. Friendly, competent and warm. Thanks! |
