Finding Everyday Light :: Taking Better Pictures at Home | Erica Mulford Photography Workshops

Beginner’s Camera Class, June 15, 2015  6-8pm  Cost: $70/person  Limited to 10 moms.  Rain make-up date: June 19, 2015, 6-8pm  Location: TBD in central Raleigh, outdoors

This two-hour workshop will be a hands-on class where you will literally be practicing different camera settings in manual mode in different outdoor light situations.  The first 30-45 minutes will be going over the basics and taking a closer look at your camera.  Then I will work one-one to help you adjust and correct settings as you shoot (models will be provided!).  I will also be setting up a private FB group where students can learn and grow together after the class is over!

This class will teach you:

Basic camera functions to get you off of auto mode, and why you should be shooting in manual (ISO, shutter speed, aperture, reading your meter)

Shooting in different light and how to get the best results in each situation

Focus, and how to use your lens

Composition, how to set up your shot

This class will not teach you:

Anything about professional photography

Post processing (editing)

Posing

Required materials:

A camera.  A DSLR or other camera that has manual mode is suggested.

A notebook, pen, your camera manual, and blanket

Workshop cost: $70/person – Due in full at booking to hold your spot.  Non-refundable unless your spot is filled with another mom.  1-1 mentoring is also available in your home to find light and practice shooting in manual with your little ones, 2-hours $200.

Disclaimer: I have been shooting in manual mode since I was 15 using a film camera.  A two-hour class is a basic introduction to getting to know your camera better, but will not turn you into a master overnight.  It takes a lot of practice and time to get comfortable using you camera in different lighting situations :):)

Erica Mulford Photography presents The Organic Bloom | Raleigh Professional Photographer

I was thrilled to partner up with The Organic Bloom as a vendor for their amazing frames.  Recently they had an awesome sale on their Ready to Ship frames and I passed it along to my clients.  I am so glad that this family took me up on the offer because the final product is simply amazing!  The quality of the professionally printed and mounted images inside these to-die-for frames is beyond extraordinary!  And I cannot stress enough the quailty of professionally printed images.  I know the immediate response right now is ‘I want the disk’ but you could have an amazing order of prints to gift and display if you really took the time to think about how you want to use and display the images in your home :)

Here is a sample of their order!  Please note that I am not a product photographer!  There are (3) Lewis frames in white, 11×14, (1) Audrey frame in white, 11×14, and just to show size and color I have compared the Audrey in 8×10 and 11×14 (size of the print- as you can see the actual frames is much larger with beautiful character).  There is also (1) Ellie frame in white, 8×10 that I also used to compare the colors parchment & white.

Pricing post will be up shortly.  Enjoy!

 

Golden Fields | North Raleigh Family Photographer

Adorable.  That’s all I can say about this family!  They were my last session of 2012 and we had the perfect afternoon waiting for us!  The girls are so sweet and simply a pleasure to be around (and mom and dad aren’t too bad, either :)  Oh, and WAY too many images to narrow it down, but I did my best.

Welcome Spring :: Raleigh Children’s Photography

Leah has the perfect little baby (I mean, big girl :) features all rolled into one adorable little girl!  From her stunning blue eyes and porcelain skin, to her silly and happy little sayings, she is such a joy to be around!  Her session marked the warmest day of the month, and she was ready for spring!  I love summer-dress-bare-feet sessions <3
