Fast Track Photographer Workshop

Last weekend I attended a Fast Track Photographer workshop.
Let me tell you, it’s called fast track photographer for a reason…I learned so much about efficiency!!!! It was exactly what my business was needing…a little kick in the pants!
There are so many things to think about when running your own business. I always end up doing everything myself and most of the time…. its been the most time consuming way to do things. This workshop helped to finally push me beyond my “comfort zone” and helped me tackle the difficult workflow issues that I’ve been having! I immediately came home and signed up for ShootQ, a management software and that has revolutionized my business. Dane had so many practical tips that were put to use as soon as I got home!
THANKS Dane!
Not only did I learn a lot about the efficiency of my business, I seriously laughed and laughed and had way more fun than I expected…especially during a photo shoot that Dane had planned. Here are my favorites from the day. Lindye and Winn were natural models and definitely made our project easier!

Engagement Session Belmont Park ~ Maggie and Nick

I’ve been really really sick lately. I don’t know what happened to me but it felt like I was hit by a Mac truck. I’m still a little light headed as I write this so forgive me if I seem a little silly:)
I normally have energy like a 5 year old and was really excited when Maggie told me she wanted to do something fun for her engagement session. We tried planning a trip to Disney but with my fever, I just knew it wouldn’t work out. Plus Maggie and Nick are getting married in 15 days!!!!!!!!!! No time to be playing around! That didn’t stop us though!

Maggie and Nick were sweet to me and decided to do their engagement session at Belmont Park in Mission Beach. These two are definitely kids at heart!!!!

Immaculata Wedding and The Westin Hotel ~ Tara and Matt

Carrie McCluskey Photography invited me along to shoot the wedding of Matt and Tara…..THANKS Carrie! What a wedding it was!
Matt and Tara got married this past Saturday. You couldn’t have asked for a better day. San Diego rarely disappoints.

We started off at the Immaculata Church at the University of San Diego. You can’t go wrong with the absolutely breathtaking architecture!

I LOVE the view from above ….what.what.what

Being in a church makes me think of a great point, for all you brides-to-be…..please realize that when you get married in a church that does not allow flash photography, your pictures are going to turn out slightly grainy. The reason for this is loss of light. When the doors to the church are closed, the amount of light coming into the church decreases and your photographer is then forced to turn up their ISO, which makes pictures more grainy. The higher the ISO 200, 400, 800, the more grainy your pictures will look. Make sense?
There is NOTHING wrong with grainy. I actually apply that effect to many of my images for an old rustic feel.:)

Organic Elements put together this breathtaking view. I’m not sure even the photographs did it justice.
