NO COUCH POTATO HERE.. {tampa photographer}

So one of my most recent new clients needed some new shots done to use on her website and marketing.
Here is her link..  http://www.fitnesssimply.com/
Mare is awesome and so funny and inspiring.  So you must check her site out and if you need a nice 'kick' in the butt to start that fitness routine or eat better or even just make small changes.. she's your girl.
But let me tell you a little about our shoot. 
She came to the studio and boy was I surprised when she pulled Mr. Potato Head out of her bag. 
After a second it dawned on me.. 'dont be a couch potato'   it was great and just the kind of thing I love to implement in photo shoots.  So she gave me her idea and we did it.. but right at the end I decided to give Mr Potato Head one last chance to make an appearance. (see photo) He did a great job.. okay Mare did too.. :)
We had a really good time and she loved the end results.  Her husband requested this very photo for his office.  LOVE THAT!!! thanks Mare (and the potato) for making my job soo much fun.. I truly have the best job!!!

AND AS MARE SAID... she's HIP to the needs of couch potatoes. So give her a call!! FUN

LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! September 10th

Hey Everyone... Recently numerous people have asked if I would ever consider doing a workshop. So GUESS WHAT?  I am going to do a workshop. If I get a great response and the people want more I will add additonal subjects for future workshops.  This particular workshop will focus on LOCATIONS! .  What to look for... how to utilize that area and how to make it work for all different types of photography. 
So years ago when I started in photograpy it was hit and miss on what I knew and how to appoach it.  So I knew that I needed a more well rounded education - so I went to school.  I took as many classes as I could and still to this day I go to seminars and workshops such as the one I am going to provide.  
Once I had more knowledge and only then, did I start the 'business' of photography.  I joined photography organizations such as TAPPA and PPA.  I started using labs that only work with photographers and those things have helped me and still help me be a better photographer.
I don't know it all and I am learning everyday - but I know what works for me right now.  It changes constantly but the basics remain the same and without those.. it just doesn't work.
So - if you are comfortable with your camera and know how to work it and use it and you just want a little help on the area of location shooting, then please contact me and sign up. This will be limited to 10 people.  We will be meeting at a location (to be determined later)  There will be walking so... be prepared. 
September 10th - 8 am. 
The cost is $25.00 per person. 
Contact me at 813-600-8152 to reserve your spot and arrange payment. 
Looking forward to it.... 
btw... I ALWAYS HAVE FUN NO MATTER WHAT!

ALL OF THESE LOCATIONS ARE WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF MY STUDIO!
