Information


Your children are only young once.
How are you preserving your memories of this once-in-a-lifetime stage of their lives?

With dark, blurry, or just plain bad photographs???


There is an obvious reason why your photographs are so important: these moments only happen once. Let us help you improve your photographs. Let us help you learn to use that amazing camera to its full capacity. Let us help you Click It Up A Notch!
**In order to facilitate a more personal learning experience, class size is extremely limited. Join the ranks today, before the workshop is full!**




MAMARAZZI BOOT CAMP
Our next available Boot Camp will be held on September 24, 2011 in Dallas, Texas.
The workshop will start at 9am and end around 5pm.
Lunch will be provided, as well as snacks and drinks throughout the day. (more specific information will be provided when you enlist)


Who can participate?
We invite anyone who is interested in improving their photography skills to join us for this amazing workshop! This is considered a beginning-to-intermediate class. Please note that although it is recommended, it is not a requirement to have a DSLR camera. (A DSLR camera is one that has interchangeable lenses.) However, your camera must allow you to manually set your aperture and shutter speed in order for you to get the most out of the workshop. In addition, the format of this class won't allow us time to spend on the settings and dials of your individual camera. If you are interested in receiving help with learning the ins and outs of your specific camera, that would be best done during a mentoring session. Please contact Emily Murdock or Stephanie Read for more information regarding mentoring sessions. Workshop participants can receive a discount on mentoring sessions -- be sure to inquire about this opportunity!

You do not need to be a Mama (or even a woman for that matter!) to participate in the class. There will be specific tips presented regarding how to photograph children, but it will not be the only information covered. Everyone can benefit from this workshop!


What will the workshop cover?
We will discuss the technical aspects of photography, including but not limited to aperture, ISO, shutter speed, white balance, and metering. We will also go into detail regarding creative composition, improving your photographs through use of light, and how to shoot like a pro! New for our 2011 Boot Camps, we will be discussing basic editing using popular programs such as Lightroom and Photoshop Elements! We will have classroom instruction as well as a mini-shoot with models (maybe even some models who are disguised as Boot Campers... sneaky!), where each participant will be able to ask questions and shoot alongside Emily and Stephanie.

We are also offering an optional Photoshop Workshop the following weekend, for those who are interested in learning Adobe Photoshop in-depth.  We will cover layers, color correction, using Actions, and even how to do extensive editing, such as swapping heads and slimming your subject.  We are also including an exclusive Mamarazzi Action Set that is only available through the Photoshop Workshop.  You'll walk away from this class with the confidence to make your images exactly what you want them to be -- AMAZING!


What is the cost of the workshop?
$199 for Mamarazzi Boot Camp

$149 for optional Photoshop Workshop (to be held Friday, September 30th, 7-10pm)

OR $299 for BOTH the Boot Camp and Photoshop Workshop
