Families on film

During this workshop Jonathan will not only explain how he documents fast moving kids, or how he gets dad's who don't want to be there to totally want to be there, but he'll show you how with a REAL family (not models). There will be no stylist, florist, or unrealistic beautiful looking models. This will be a real family with hopefully, real meltdowns to show you how to not only deal with them but how to make the most of them. The shoot will take place at the Gaylord and will focus on how to deal with lack luster lighting situations. Don't get the cold sweats having to manual focus or not feel confident enough to do a whole session on film. It is not only doable, but it is way easier than you think and Jonathan will show you how.

A wedding editorial based on love for flowers

Join Julie Paisley and Janna Brown as they create a shoot called “Flora". If you are a fan of florals, this is the shoot for you. Imagine a wedding where the focus and theme was the florals. You will have 7 stations set up for you all based around a cohesive color scheme and tied in with florals so that you can submit together or separate them out. Julie will go through each station and demonstrate her process of posing, finding the light and tips on how she editorially photographs the details. After this portion, you will be divided into small groups and shoot on your own. Our stations will include: rosé tower with floral details, flat lay station, ceremony setup with bride & groom, tablescape, dessert bar, 2 bridesmaids, single bride with designer gown and a stunning floral headpiece. We can't wait for you to join us!

Spring's Arising

And Spring arose on the garden fair, Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere; And each flower and herb on Earth’s dark breast, rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.” A shoot that captures the richness and livliness of a blooming garden. Purposeful, restrained color, with a breath of drama and air of romance. Design & styling by Lacy Geary.

Warmth and chill: spring vignettes inspired by still life Dutch painting 

Inspired by still life paintings from the Dutch Golden Age, we will create original vignettes with curated color palettes of bright pastels and dusty, muted spring florals. Juxtaposing warm and cool tones, both vignette stations will feature a female model, lush table styling with decadent food and thoughtful objects, backdrops, painterly-inspired florals, and flat lays. Each model will wear a different designer gown for this editorial, fitting into her scene and theme. Sophie Kaye and East Made Event Co will also discuss shooting tablescapes, edible details, and food styling.
