Camera School

If you’ve found the Technical Tuesday tips helpful, Camera School is the perfect follow-up to go a little more in depth with a photography class that will help you grasp major concepts like lighting, composition and editing.

This course is for beginner-intermediate hobbyists whose hearts beat a little bit faster with a camera in hand. If you get some good photos every now and then and want to learn more about how to make them happen regularly and with confidence, Camera School is the next step.

We’ll hang out from 9-2 on one of the January dates listed below and will study the inner workings of the camera so you will be able to fully utilize all of the tools your DSLR offers you. What good is having an amazing camera if you don’t know how to use it?

We’ll also chat about photographing people – how to pose them and how to capture natural and candid photographs. I’ll even take you through my workflow to see exactly what editing tools I use.

Our day will wrap-up with a mini-session with me. You’ll get a chance to be in front of my camera and see exactly what I do every day. Plus, you’ll get some cute photos to update your social media sites. :)

One of the best parts of the day is lunch! Your lunch will be provided and we’ll spend some time chatting about exactly how I ended up as a full-time professional photographer – the good, the bad, and the ugly. And most importantly, we’ll talk about why you love photography and what exactly you’re gonna do about it!

Pick a date below and email info@sarahmcaffry.com to claim a spot before they are gone!

Thursday, January 9 from 9-2

Saturday, January 11 from 9-2

There are two virtual seats open for each date, so if you’re out of town, you can still sign up!

Rachel, Jeff and John Thomas

These are some of my favorite people on the planet. Rachel is my best friend for life whether she likes it or not. We’re lucky to have two kids who are besties too. And that’s about all I can say before getting all sappy and emotional! It’s a bonus that I will get to see the pictures displayed in her house every time I’m there. :)

Jason, Maggie and Jordan | Campout Sessions

So the Campout Sessions were a total blast. I mean – a campfire, s’mores and the beautiful changing leaves? It was perfect. This sweet family loves to camp so they were totally in their element, and Jordan couldn’t have been cuter! She reminds me so much of my Charlotte – full of life and personality. I’m starting to think all photo sessions should standing around a campfire making s’mores. How bad could that be?

Real Family

Tonight we attended our first adoption training meeting. And I cried about ten times listening to the stories of parents who are now home with their kids. Some of us in the room are beginning our home study, some are waiting for a referral, and one couple has photos of their child in hand and is simply waiting to travel to bring her home. Can you even imagine? Seeing photos of your child and not being able to bring her home right away?

I realized tonight that there will be many more tears in this journey. The reality is that there will be weeks between being matched with our kids and waiting to travel to Ethiopia to meet them. Then the excruciating task of meeting them and then leaving Ethiopia without them for several more weeks until paperwork is finalized to bring them home. With my fragile emotional state, I can’t even imagine how I will survive that.

But tonight we heard stories of couples who have done it, who have survived it and who have become family – real family. We are not romanticizing the process, but we’re not expecting the worst either. We are expectantly waiting for God to reveal our children to us. We want nothing more than to follow where he leads and to be family – real family – in a way that only he can design.

November is Adoption Awareness Month and Knoxville has lots of events scheduled to celebrate. The Empty Cup, a coffee house dedicated to supporting adoption in our community will open February 2014! Yay Knoxville!

Some days my job just feels like heaven. This was one of those days. Really? I get to call this work! It is such a gift to spend my days feeding my passion and creating images that families will treasure forever.
