Get your sea legs on in 2012! | Orchestrated Stylized Shoots Mediterranean Cruise Conference

To get the email saying you have your first registered participant... for something that you kept doubting yourself you could do... really is humbling.

Many months ago back in February, God told me to organize a cruise. For photographers. I know... I freaked. "What?! A Cruise?! Why is God telling me to organize a cruise?! That's kinda weird. It's never been done before! I will have naysayers because I haven't been in the industry for 10+ years..." I told Meghan and she was like, "Oh my gosh. Can we do it?" We were unsure of ourselves.

It was my proverbial Goliath. A much nicer kind, but still waaaay bigger than me.

Then things started clicking. Photogs wanted to teach. People expressed interest. Said our industry needed this. Because it's against my nature to do anything half-tail, I researched. I was already making travel plans for another business trip through World Class Travel... and it naturally came up in conversation. That was the official confirmation for me.



As businesswomen, we sometimes sacrifice family time for our businesses, so we're reinventing the way we workshop, stylize, and balance family life, vacationing, and business! Gone are the days of separating family and business. For 12 days on the big blue Mediterranean Sea, you can have a quality vacation with your loved ones WHILE still furthering your business and photography growth. Let's be real. When else can you write off a trip to Santorini?!

We welcome all photographers of all levels and all specialties. Whether you are just beginning to learn your camera or have a well-fluffed out wedding portfolio, you are invited to participate in a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

This floating conference has been set up to vacation with family and loved ones and to do business with colleagues. While there are onboard activities for children under 10, this particular trip is more suitable for older children. So consider making it either a special getaway for you and your spouse or a mini-family reunion of sorts!

Now presenting... Through the Rose-Colored Lens: a Bit of Ivory workshop | June 18, 2011

For months now, I've been getting emails from clients, friends, and even new friends (who found me through the Facebook page) with a similar question... How can I take better pictures?!

To be honest, I was nervous. I'm different from most in that I'm quirky, have a different background than most other photographers, and dance to the beat of my own little Chelsea drum. Despite my extensive background in art, photography, and teaching, I was nervous. I know. Crazy!!

But like God always tends to do... whacks me with a huge foam brick of reality. Everything that makes me different is a good thing. I do see the world differently than most. I do see things in a positive light-- always have, always will. And what once was supposed to be a slight to me has become the title of my first workshop.

Yes, I see the world through rose-colored glasses-- there is too much beauty to focus on the ugly of life. I see my clients and my world through a Rose-Colored Lens. And I believe other people do, too.

So I present... Through the Rose-Colored Lens: A Bit of Ivory workshop.

A workshop for you budding photographers who crave to know the art behind photography, to learn from the classical painting masters, to understand natural lighting, and to strengthen your "eye" skills behind the camera! ALL types of digital cameras welcome (yes, even the point-and-shoots).




Only 10 spots are available so I can spend one-on-one attention and to make the workshop as fun as possible. Soooo...

Ready to learn, eat a deliciously catered lunch, meet new friends, and find something else about your style?

Can't wait to meet you!
