How do you see yourself? Do you see your Spirit Self reflected anywhere?

This one-day workshop is for all women who would love a fun and creative day out in the open, and who want to learn how to tap into their creative side to express their true Self. No photographic knowledge is required and no special equipment is needed!

What will I learn?
You’ll learn how to create beautiful Sacred Self portraits of yourself that reflect your true feelings at that moment. Your self-esteem will love you for it!

What does the day involve?
•    Using self portraits as a way of adding to and enhancing your journaling practices  
•    Visualizing your Spirituality - how to add meditation and a few technical techniques to enhance the mood of your images
•    Using self portraits as a tool to improve self-love and build a strong self-esteem


Tell me more …
Are you always the one with the camera taking photos? Do you have any really great photos of yourself?

As a mother and photographer, I was always the one with the camera. Years ago, during my divorce, I realized that I have tons of images of my children, former husband and extended family, but hardly any of myself. I had my kids take a shot or two now and then, and while they are great, it never really conveyed how I saw myself .    

In 2001, I did a workshop with Joyce Tenneson, a great photographer from New York. I was so intrigued that she did self portraits often. That was it - an answer to creating that great portrait of myself! This began my journaling with self portaits.  

Now, every other month, I photograph myself. This practice has enhanced my art and photographing clients as well. It provides an environment to push my techinal knowledge using different lighting situations  and motion to enhance the mood of the image.

I’d love to share my knowledge and experience with other women. I hope you’ll join me for a fun, creative, and reflective day dedicated to your Self.
