Brianna Graham : Daily Blog

Temporary rest...

I know I have not been blogging, but I have been trying to respond to everyone that has been emailing. I have three winners, but I will be taking the next day off as well, in hopes of catching up.

** TO ALL WORKSHOP ATTENDEES - ANY LOCATION **
I will have your registration information to you. I have been sorting emails and trying to find the method to this over the weekend.

I will also be creating the email lists that I have promised to all of the individual workshops.

Please be patient. I am trying to be thorough as possible, as to make sure that I don't forget about anyone.

Thanks -
Brianna Graham

Seattle Workshop Registration - Now Open

Well, it's official! I will be traveling to Seattle to do a workshop. Registration is now open! Please contact me via email: [email protected] or by phone: 616.855.2196 to sign up.

Emails have been sent to those that have already inquired about this location. I will be booking slots on a first come, first serve basis. There are 15 seats - 12 of which are available. I hate the sales approach, but I wanted to put out there that I think this workshop will fill very quickly.

I will be doing something a little different this time around. I will be offering a third day (actually July 20th - the day before the Urban workshop) as an add-on for those that would like studio lighting instruction.

Here is the rough agenda as follows - attendees will receive complete details upon registration.
July 20th (Friday) will be Studio Lighting (this is the add-on single day)
July 21&22 (Sat-Sun) will be Urban - Natural Lighting.

If you are interested in one or both, please email or call. There will be special pricing for those that wish to add Studio Lighting as an add-on to their already reserved Urban Session.

This will be TONS of fun, and I can't wait to come out!!

30/30.18 - Portraits at a car wash

Well, there you have it... I had a photo session at a car wash today. One of my favorite subjects, I have to admit.

I have been making an effort to capture more of the casual moments as well as what I do in my professional time. This was no exception.
Who would have thought that you can find great photo opportunities while waiting to get your car washed?

I sure didn't...
I now stand corrected.

Stay tuned for Seattle registration in the next post!

I wanted to let everyone know that I really really really appreciate the responses that I have been getting to the workshops. If I haven't been able to get to your email yet, please don't worry. I am answering them as fast as I can type.

I have finished the information collateral for Seattle as well, so everyone that has emailed regarding this workshop will receive one today. In the event that you do not, please resend your email to: [email protected] chances are it got bounced back due to security settings.

Since I just released my studio lighting summer workshop, I though it would only be fitting to post a recent favorite image. Sorry for not having more to type. I am working as hard as I can trying to get emails answered. :)

Announcing: Summer Studio Lighting Workshop...

(This post will be today's post as well. I have updated the Seattle workshop with the official dates, and I would like to leave this at the top for today too...not to mention, I blogged like 3 times yesterday! That's good, right?! ;) )

I have gotten lots of inquiries lately in regards to whether or not I will be offering another studio lighting workshop. I officially am, and it will be held June 11-12.

Please email: [email protected] for registration information.

**Please understand that in order to have the mechanics for a successful studio lighting workshop, I would like to have a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 12 people registered for this particular workshop. Hopefully this will work out for people - I know it's semi short notice, but I am trying to fit this one in for everyone that has been asking!**

In answer to the requests that I have had for my Urban Session - Natural lighting workshop, there will be dates released for those very soon. There is more planning involved, due to the fact that I am working with several people right now to offer these in different parts of the country. I just have to make sure that I have all of my plans finalized, as I want these to run as seamlessly as possible - even on location. :)

BUT - in answer to the many many inquiries that I have had as to where, here goes:

________________________________________________________________________________________
**UPDATED**
• Seattle - YES - I will be traveling to Seattle this summer - I can't *wait*! Official Date: July 21&22... I will be doing something a little different for this workshop. I will be offering a third day (actually July 20th - the day before the Urban workshop) as an add-on for those that would like studio lighting instruction. I have received several emails in regards to this location yesterday, but wanted to let people know the specifics:
July 20th (Friday) will be Studio Lighting
July 21&22 (Sat-Sun) will be Urban - Natural Lighting.
If you are interested in one or both, please email: [email protected] There will be special pricing for those that wish to add Studio Lighting as an add-on to their already reserved Urban Session.
This will be TONS of fun!!

________________________________________________________________________________________

• Toronto - YES! Locking down the date and location right now...

________________________________________________________________________________________

• Dallas/Fort Worth TX - YES! One will be held this fall...more details very soon. Again, I will be locking the date down, as well as a super cool location! I will be emailing everyone in the database that I have with exact information. If there is anyone else that would like me to add them to this list, please email: [email protected] and put in the subject line: Dallas Workshop. I have everyone that has emailed over the last few weeks, as well as a list from earlier in the year when I was asking about interest. There are currently 68 people in the database for this location....and no, don't worry, I won't book that many for the workshop. I want people to have plenty of one on one time, and due to that, I would like to keep the groups limited to 15 people at the most. If I need to have several in the same location, I will.

________________________________________________________________________________________

I also wanted to put out there that I do love to travel, and if there is another place where you might be interested in having me attend, I would love to talk with you. As long as there is enough interest, nothing is out of the question. :) Please email if you are interested in hosting a workshop! Please put "Hosting" as the subject title... I need at least 12 interested parties to be able to come out.

Ok, how's that for blogging for the day.. and I am not done yet! ;)
I look forward to hearing from you!

I just adore adorable babies! This little one came in recently and was the same age as her little sister that came in 1.5 years prior.

Look at this little one - isn't she just a sweetie?

Since we are on the topic of weddings...

I thought I would put out some favorite weddings and engagements from last year. You already saw some in the last post, but I have many more... :)

So, in effort to stay on my game, here are some for the taking.

How cool is it when you hear from a favorite bride that they will be returning to do maternity photos with you? How much more cool is it when you hear from TWO favorite brides - exactly the same thing?

I am honored to be working with two amazing couples soon... and what a joy it will be. Christy and Steve & Agne and Virgis... probably the sweetest couples you would ever meet. Both pregnant, and both coming in soon to have me document those moments in their life.

Thanks guys - I am honored, and can't wait to work with you!

Here are two from Christy & Steve's wedding last July:

Two favorites from Agne & Virgis - last May:

I wanted to put some of my favorite senior images from last year here on the blog. If there is one thing that I really enjoy, it's photographing seniors. I have several scheduled in the upcoming months, but want to show some here as well...

** 3 Senior Models Wanted **
I will be photographing 3 senior models this year, free session fee - with a print credit. Potential models will have my unlimited creativity, as well as a very generous print package as thanks for your time. The only thing that I ask for in return is that you tell all of your friends... :)

So - send a photograph of yourself, with a short note detailing why you are the right person for this project to: [email protected]

Style and attitude is key here.
Funky clothing, great personality, and a love of being photographed are a must.
You will be rewarded in turn with some really wonderful images!

Would love to know what people think of these too...they haven't really been released on my websites before.
