Emilie is not only an extremely talented photographer that also has an incredible sympatico with recalcitrant kiddos but she is an excellent teacher. The workshop was on how to work from a completely manual setting on your camera and covered all of those weird and foreign settings on the camera like f-stop, aperture, iso, shutter speed, etc.. Each attendee received Emilie's workbook that is packed with hints and examples and a step by step on all of the topics covered in the workshop. We spent a ton of time on light and all of the settings that affect how light enters your camera and affects your subject.
Armed with our newly found illumination, Emilie produced the most adorable family for us to practice on. This was my favorite part! I am very hands on when learning so to hear Emilie discuss the topics, look at the settings and her examples and then be able to put it into immediate practice was invaluable.
After working with the delightful children while Emilie coached us on poses and angles and using the light, we came back in for some more theory, this time focusing on editing the photos. Another invaluable step. The entire workshop progressed in a logical and enjoyable manner with great company and lots of laughs with Emilie and her sparkling personality.
Although I have been doing amateur photography for several years, I had yet to progress to fully manual and Emilie took the trepidation out of the exercise completely! I also tend to focus on nature photography so this was an interesting look into the world of portraits and people photography.

Those are absolutely beautiful shots of Emilie. I always cringe when I look at all of the settings on my camera, but your shots make me want to learn a little more about them.
