“BLESSED” is an intimate MATERNITY Master Class/Shoot with Elizabeth Messina that will change how you capture pregnancy photographs forever. The emphasis of this special class will be on making images that celebrate the grace of a pregnant woman in a natural and empowering way. You’ll learn how to notice and capture the nuances of gestures as well as the most flattering poses for an expectant mother. Elizabeth will share with you how she interacts with, thoughtfully connects with her subject and gently directs a mother. You'll learn how light, angles and communication can help you create beautiful pregnancy photographs. Elizabeth Messina has captured maternity photographs for a discerning clientele for many years. Some of her pregnancy clients include Hilary Duff, Katherine Schwarznegger, Brooke Shields, Jenna Dewan, Chriselle Lim and many more. This class is part communication & instruction, part observing Elizabeth’s photo, styling & posing techniques as well as the opportunity to create your own photographs. Join this class and learn from one of the best maternity photographers in the world, how to create feminine, romantic & impactful maternity imagery.
This year every “BLESSED" Master Class attendee will get an opportunity to capture photographs of their own during the class. Each attendee will literally be able to stand side-by-side with Elizabeth while she guides them with thoughtful direction and meaningful support. Photographers of all levels & mediums are welcome.
The Indirect Approach
Some photographers direct their subjects. I "Indirect" people. This class will be a chance to rethink how you shoot and see if this approach can work for you. I believe that how we act as photographers affects our subjects. My method of teaching is to have honest and vulnerable conversations to unlock ourselves before we raise a camera.

ELIZABETH MESSINA
An intentionally intimate roving cocktail party where Perry Vaile shares trade secrets, photographs your headshot and connects with you personally. Limited Space Available. No elbowing for the best angle, or feeling lost in the shuffle. Leave the pressure & camera gear at home, and enjoy a drink (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options available!) as I spill the tea.
We’ll spend time outside as I hunt for light, giving you an inside peek at how I approach a clients and their wedding days artistically through location, direction, and posing decisions with my “P.I.V.O.T” method. You become the client, while I create personalized headshots for each attendee that will be provided after the class as a high resolution file. We’ll move inside for a round-table discussion to connect personally with each other, and talk candidly about managing the most challenging wedding day hurdles, so that you can walk into the season with renewed confidence, deeper connection to industry peers, and a fresh portrait of yourself.

KAYLA BARKER
Black vulnerability exist. There is an opportunity for our models who are Black to show vulnerability, so when you think about them, you can think of vulnerability immediately.
Vulnerability can feel like weakness when it's experienced on the inside, but looks like courage when it's viewed from the outside. Let’s discover their love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity together. You will embrace a couple’s vulnerability on a beach of Amelia Island and witness a sunrise steals your breath.
We are teaming up with Joy Proctor (stylist) and JetSetWed (wedding planner)
