Savor Photography Blog

From my 365… which is probably something like 344 by now.

I haven’t been this nervous to write a post since I came out with Savor, but here goes!

Over the last two or three months and especially after my travel announcement, I’ve started getting requests for tutoring/mentoring/even workshops and I always say no, because really, I’m no Jasmine Star.

But lately, I’ve been talking to some girls about being, or attempting to be, fearless when it comes to living life, and I think I’ve been saying no because I’m being a fraidy cat.

Therefore, after some hard soul searching (I’m so dramatic), I’m really excited to announce that I’ll be hosting two classes this summer, one in Rochester, NY, the other in Rocky Mount, NC during my travel dates. The classes will be about six hours long with both theory and practice segments. The morning will cover discussions on the following:

Equipment
Manual Shooting
Lighting, both natural and flash/studio/OCF
Posing and interacting with clients
Post-processing
Workflow

And in the afternoon, we’ll go on a shoot and come back and edit so you’ll get a chance to see how I shoot and edit, and practice yourself. We’ll end the day with a Q and A session.

The class fee will be $125/person. Because I want to keep it affordable, the fee doesn’t include lunch or a fancy hotel venue, but we’ll definitely have fun and learn a lot from each other. Minimum and maximum numbers will apply, so if you’re interested, please email me right away and let me know which class location you’re interested in.

This summer will be the Summer of the Inconvenient Travel Schedule. I have several events to photograph and a wedding I even get to go to as a guest. I can’t even remember what that’s like! But, the good news of the Inconvenient Travel is that I will be making prolonged stayed in both the Rochester, NY and Raleigh, NC areas and will be booking sessions in the in-between times.

At this point, it looks like I will be available for sessions in the Rochester, NY area between May 23 and June 4th.

I will be available in the Raleigh/Rocky Mount, NC area from around June 8- June 18th.

If you’re interested in booking a session during these dates, please send me an email at rachel(at)savorphotography(dot)com or use the contact form found by clicking on ‘contact’ at the top of this page.

I look forward to hearing from you!

I’m excited about the response to the Sweet Shots! I might be adding a day, so if one of these days doesn’t work out for you, just send a request with a certain time. This is an excellent way to help a local non-profit, Hope for Haiti and get some great pictures at the same time!

Custom Valentines cards are available. Sized 3.5 in x 2 in and double-sided, just $35 per set of 50.
