Bald Head Island Workshop

This week I am at the Love Affair Workshop! We are having a blast and are learning so much! We have been staying up until 2 am, and are up by 7am for a full day of classes! The teachers are amazing. Millie Holloman is totally hysterical. Lauren Clark is so sweet! She has been teaching us to laugh! She is also absolutely amazing with photoshop! Davina Fear is so organized! She is teaching us to become more organized and to step away from work once in a while and enjoy life! And we have the amazing Kelly Moore, that is teaching us to step outside the box and be different!

This workshop is by women, for women. There are 40 of us staying in 5 houses. I am located in the party house! This workshop is so popular that it actually sold out within 3 minutes of going live! We were on our computers signing up when it went live but we weren't fast enough. The girls decided to have a second week since the response was so great! We were on the waiting list so we were fortunate enough to get into week 2!

I am actually going to add some pictures to this post in a bit, so check back. (I have been told to always post a picture with a blog entry, but we are off to another class!

After some tweaking and saturation.

Free 8x10's for Past Clients

As you know I have recently launched a new website. I'm in the process of compiling testimonials from past clients. I know it is hard to find the time to write a testimonial, so If you will take the time to write one you will receive 2 8x10"s of your choice. Please email me a 2 paragraph testimonial about your thoughts of everything... like your thoughts about the shoot, your pictures or whatever it is that you liked about working with me! Email the testimonials to me at;
elaine@elainemcdonaldphotography.com

I will be out of town next week, but I hope to start working on that part of my website when I return. Also be sure to let me know which images you want for your 8x10's!

America's Next Top Model

Tina needed some modeling pictures taken and I knew just where I wanted to go. She has the most amazing blue eyes! We found so many great places to shoot! I could shoot all day every day like that. It was so much fun! I have been playing around with some of the pictures, these are a few of my favorites. I just realized I didn't post any serious, not smiling pictures. She has such a pretty smile I am afraid I am partial to those. But I will go ahead and post a more serious version.

Liam is Two!

I photographed Liam this morning. He is a babydoll! Why is it that the boys always get the really long eyelashes? I am so jealous! He was so good, but when he was finished, he told me he wasn't taking anymore pictures. Typical male don't you think?

For the Blog Readers

Heather Johnson has claimed her free engagement session. Heather is currently in Nursing School and will be able to do the engagement session sometime in March. I talked to the other winner at the bridal show, but I have not been able to reach her since the show. Therefore, I have decided to give the other engagement session to someone that reads my blog or one of their friends. So, email me and you can have the session! Your choice of a engagement session or bridal session. If Lisa Morris does contact me I will honor that session as well.

I have had three brides contact me this week about making their albums! So, I will be MIA for awhile, but I will be checking my emails.

Thanks to everyone that has participated in the bridal show and this contest!
