Self-Portrait Tuesday: Looking Up Edition

Blueberries

due to a little snafu in the server that hosts my forums, the new forums will be up and going tomorrow. If you are in a class that starts today, you’ll get info on that in the morning!

Additionally, I’ll begin booking for classes starting March in the next week! So if you’re on the waitlist and have been for a while, it might just be you getting an email….

And FURTHERMORE: if you are interested in the flash workshop in Vegas this spring, drop me a little note. I’ll post some of this in the alumni forum, but wanted to put it in as many spots as I could!

*alumni forum is a message board open to students who have gone through any of my classes and come out the other side at least semi-whole.

The Only Faithful Man in my Life

gotta love a girl and her dog.

Day 2: Morning Coffee

But this year, it will be different.

Way back in 2007, I took one picture every day of that year and I had a blog that chronicled that journey.

I’ve committed to doing that same picture-a-day project for 2010, but didn’t want to use the old blog for it, and decided this blog will do just fine, plus then I won’t feel weird throwing in the odd update on where classes stand and what is going on there and some student work and such like that.

So, here we go with today’s boring picture of me and my kids on a couch with my best friend. You can see here that Child #2 was not being overly cooperative. Which is just perfect for a picture of us all together, since she’s not typically willing to do anything that wasn’t her idea to being with. Gotta love that independent spirit!

I always have great intentions to post work every time they turn it in. I’m going to work hard to get that done this month. We’ll see, right?

This is one of my favorite weeks in class with my advanced students because I ask them to play with light they may not have been completely comfortable with before. It’s fun to see what they do and how they use the light and it’s especially fun to see them fall in love with light they might have previously written off as unusable.

Enjoy!

I have officially caught up on my email! If you haven’t heard back from me, PLEASE WRITE AGAIN!

I have also sent out inquiries for the next Continuing Education Class and have plans to book the next three beginner classes in the next week or so, as well as get the one-on-one mentorships booked for the spring.

Lots of things going on here. So Fun!

Late last fall, I picked a guniea pig student to do a short but intense one-on-one mentorship with. It was a whole lot of fun and I think it went well. I’m pretty sure she thinks it did, too, since she just called the other day asking when she can sign up for ANYTHING else.

There are quite a few of you who have expressed interest in the one-on-one program and I am finally ready to announce it as a Real and For True addition to the line-up of workshops/classes offered at Wendy Schulz Photography.

I know! I know! But Wendy, WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

I am going to offer two different one-on-one choices.

***Full Day In Person One-on-One or Two-on-One***

Offered as a full Saturday or Sunday, you (or you and a friend!) can join me for a full day of instruction and hands-on mentorship. This will be tailored to the needs and learning level of each individual. Starting at 9:30am and running until late into the night (usually around 9pm), we will cover anything and everything we can fit into that amount of time. All meals are provided for you.

Cost will be $675 for on person or $1100 for two. Deposits of $300 per person are required to hold the day for you.

If this is something you are interested in, send me an email or leave me a comment.

***One-on-One Month Long OnLine Mentorship***

Beginning on the first of the month and running for 30 days, this intense one-on-one mentoship starts with a 100 question survey so I can find out what you already know and what you need to know. We hit the ground running with two one-hour video chats every week as well as daily emails answering questions and providing information that meets you where you’re at.

This isn’t for the faint at heart! It’s a lot of information in a short amount of time! Be sure to bring snacks and your sturdy hiking shoes. It’s quite the journey!

Cost is $1050, a $400 deposit is due to hold your mentorship month.

I’d like to start with one student on February first and then jump to two mentorship students a month in March. Just like with the classes, there will be a waitlist for this process, so if you are interested, jump in now and claim a spot!

This Spring’s Flash Workshop dates are finally set in stone!

The workshop starts at 7pm on Friday May 8, 2009 and ends around 4 or 5 pm on Sunday, May 10, 2009.

That Sunday is also Mother’s Day. Tuition to the Flash workshop makes a great Mother’s Day Gift *hint, hint*

If you are interested in the flash workshop, there is information on the Workshops/Classes Website. There are Four spaces available and spots are first come first serve.

Deposits of $300 are due at the time you book your spot in the workshop.

Total cost for early bird registration is $975.

Don’t be afraid to email me if you have questions. Don’t pay attention to the previous post about how I’m behind in my email. (*blushes*)
