As I was preparing that morning for everyone to arrive Biggest Brother informed me that he was going to be a photographer for part of the day.

Some of the teaching sessions.

Indoor shoot…with Legos and really cute boys.
A little outdoor practice shooting…the leaves on the tree were causing shadows on the objects on the table…yeah for teamwork.
While everyone was photographing the models I noticed how they arranged their sunglasses and cups.
Just not picturing a group of boys doing something so cute with cups & glasses.
A couple of my pictures from the outdoor session. In this session, each photographer is told to shoot completely in manual mode (that is M…not Av, Tv, A, S, or P).
After I took the photo above, I kept thinking “I have taken this picture before…why is this familiar?”.
..Oh yea, rewind 3 years ago….
It was crazy hot outside…they were troopers to say the least!
For the second half of the outdoor shoot the models had a whip cream fight and played in sprinklers. It was fast and crazy and this is the best I got from that time.
So if you were a student at this SnapShop….that was crazy out there and difficult to shoot!
I’m not sure what it is about this picture I really like, but I do like it so.
When it was all over one of the wives of one of the students shared with me a text she received during the day. Thanks for sharing that!
I’ll share some of the student pictures next week….
Happy Monday!

karen davis - If I am EVER in your area (being in Korea until 2013 makes it difficult to be anywhere else!) I would LOVE to take one of your classes… so jealous of everyone that gets that opportunity!
GoodGirlGoneGlad - Looks like another great class Ashley and thanks again for those pointers!
Jodi - I don’t think you can ever take a bad picture. Your eye is just too good for that.
I am really looking forward to your online SnapShops Class. I would love to see (along with photography tips). A photography workflow. Your “soup to nuts” day to day in getting your pictures to getting them on the blog. And blog vs print. That sort of thing. I am trying to get myself into an easier workflow.
shelly@familyblt - Can’t wait until you do an online class!
Ryan - @Susie – guilty as charged! Have we met?
I’d like to say, in my defense, that I NEVER wear shorts…but it was hotter than hot, so I had to give in. I want to apologize to everyone who’s having to endure my pasty-ness.
lifeologia - Great stuff. When your class is learning. I’m always learning
Kate @ Songs Kate Sang - Oh how fun! Maybe one day I will be able to escape to OK for that!
Kristie - Ashley, I am so glad I came to the Snapshot, I haven’t stopped talking about it since I left! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us!
susie whyte - is that ryan arrowsmith in the orange?? i always love the recaps of your sessions. they look so fun!
Mariah - Fun day! I’m so glad that I was able to come. I saw myself in the background of one of your photos… Man. That girl is preggo.
Loved it! Thank you and Chris so much for opening up your home to all of us and teaching us such great tips. It’s been a VERY long time since I have done something like that for myself. I had a wonderful day!
Ryan - What an incredible day! Let’s do it again next weekend!
denise - Carl loved it Ashley! You are amazing and so gifted. Thanks for sharing that gift—take a man’s picture and he will have a great memory, teach a man to take pictures and he will preserve memories for a lifetime. (my words of wisdom for the day) Love you girl!!!
