Wine & Sign | Brass Pelican/Surf City

We had another successful "Wine & Sign" class with a wonderful group of ladies at the Brass Pelican in Surf City yesterday.

If you are wondering what a "Wine & Sign" class is, it is a class/workshop/get together/party that is lead by Anna. She brings all the materials you need to create your own unique wooden sign. It makes for a great time to spend with friends or maybe even meet some new one's in the process. Come to a scheduled class or host one yourself! For more information or to book your own party email her at ABeasley13@gmail.com. Take a visit to her Etsy shop; Giggly Goat Creations.

Hands on Workshop...

Still playing catch-up... Back in September, I attended Sandy Puc's "Hands-On Photography Workshop" in Raleigh. I couldn't attend both days due to photographing a wedding, but I did attend one night of sessions. There were some really great photographers there sharing their knowledge and techniques. I found it really informative and it really made me think about my own style and technique of photography.

Specifically, I attended the workshops with Blair Phillips and Craig Stidham. Both amazing photographers and they offered a lot of invaluable information. During Blair's workshop, being hands on, we got to test out some different techniques and the following was what I got. I took a bunch of "behind the scenes" shots but I don't think anyone cares to see those. I am on the look out for other local workshops and I enjoy meeting and learning from other photographers that are willing to share their knowledge.

Overall, I walked away from this workshop really evaluating my photography and my business. I have been studying off camera flash and I hope to incorporate it more. I am still really interested in a one light strobe set up... I've been saving all my spare change and I hope to get one soon. ;) I've only got about $999 to go. In the meantime, I am making what I already have, work.
