Mentoring Workshop Winter 2015

November 25, 2014  •  Leave a Comment

let’s get one thing straight: you’re pretty great just the way you are!  there’s not one thing about you that’s out of place!  but maybe, just maybe, you’re ready to push yourself a little.  maybe you’re ready for a little, well.... more.
 
join me on an ten week photography journey, hosted in my loft studio in downtown miamisburg!  this class is normally only offered in the evenings but, for the first time, i'm also teaching a morning workshop for all your stay at home mammas and retirees!  we'll explore the basics of light, camera gear, light meters, working with models, and simple editing.  this is about photography, but it has the potential to be much more than that if you're willing to step out of your comfort zone.  
 
together, we’ll set a goal to help you become more than you are right now...  maybe you're a mom doing something just for you.  maybe you want to be a more confident artist who is ready to find your voice.  maybe you're just striving to be a better photographer who is actually proud of your work.
 
whatever it is... what is YOUR more?
 
 
let’s get you there.

Winter Workshops 2015

November 25, 2014  •  Leave a Comment

One of my very favorite things to do is share my passion for photography.  I find great joy in helping mammas (and dad's too) master their Big Girl Camera and become more confident in their photography!  After earning a Master's in Art Education and spending ten years in the classroom, I'm confident that I can teach YOU to take better photos too!

Throughout the year, I teach lots of photography workshops and retreats.  My most popular class is a ten week mentoring workshop (click here to check that out).  But I know that not everyone has the time to invest in a long class.  So, once a year, I offer three hour mini-courses to help you get started!  And guess what?!  That time is now!!!!

Immerse Photography is thrilled to offer two different, one day photography workshops in 2015!  One class is strictly for beginners and is affectionately called, "Dear Camera, You're Not the Boss of Me!"  If you always leave your camera on the automatic setting and have NO IDEA what all those fancy buttons do, THIS is the class for you!

The second workshop, "Beyond the Basics," is a little more advanced and will push you to challenge yourself!  I would suggest this workshop for those who have taken my first class, are ready to challenge themselves, or are considering starting a photography journey.  We'll explore the aperture and shutter priority modes, reading your light meter, shooting in manual mode and other photography essentials.

Click on the photos above for more details!  Here are the class requirements:

  • must be 18 or older
  • you gotta own (or borrow) a DSLR (otherwise known as a "big girl camera")
  • be willing to be an active participant in class
  • possess a willingness to challenge yourself

You may register for one or both classes, but please know that due to the hands-on nature, I'm limiting each class to 12 participants.  So don't wait to register!!!  I only offer these classes once a year, so once they're sold out, that's it!  Check out the details, share it with your friends, and click here to claim your seat!  Plus, if you register by midnight on December 1st, you can save $25 by using code "savemeaseat25" at check-out!

I can't wait to hang out with you and have some fun!

xoxo,  
Cyrissa

Fall Sessions with Immerse Photography

August 08, 2014  •  Leave a Comment
 
It kinda feels like Christmas doesn't it?!  
 
I know many of have you have been anxiously awaiting the opening of my fall reservation books, and the time is now here!  Whoo hoo!  Fall is always my most popular photography season, and this year, I'm giving away a free canvas to one early bird, so make sure you read all the way to the end of this post!
 
This fall, there are two session styles from which you may choose: custom sessions and Christmas mini-sessions!
 

 

Custom family sessions: your family will spend an hour in front of my camera creating beautiful images.  We'll talk about your family's interests and design a session that reflects YOU.  I recommend these sessions for families who only do portraits once a year and who may be interested in displaying canvas or large prints on their walls.  You'll have 25-30 gorgeous images from which to choose, so we'll really be able to capture the essence of your family!  After our session, I'll spend several hours editing and making your images perfect.  I'll post your images to a password protected online gallery, and then we'll meet in my new loft studio in downtown Miamisburg.  I'll go through the ordering process and help you invest in prints, digital files, or canvases for your home.  These sessions do NOT include prints or digital files in the creative fee.

 

 

Christmas Mini-Sessions: these are great little bursts of photo fun and each mini-session comes with THREE free digital downloads of your favorite images!  These sessions are best for families who do portraits several times a year or who need a beautiful photo for Christmas cards.  Your family will spend thirty minutes with me, and we'll create fun images that reflect the theme of that day's session.  After our time, I'll spend several hours editing and making your images perfect.  Once I upload your images to your password protected gallery, you'll also have the option to order additional prints, digital files, or canvases from your personalized website.  Due to the smaller amount of time, these sessions are best for families of six or less people.  If you have a large family, please inquire about additional session options.

 

 
If these sessions sound like a perfect fit for your family, be ready to snatch a fall session when I open my books on August 13th.  Last year, I sold out the months of August, September, October, and November in TWO WEEKS!  So please do not delay!  Once I am sold out, that's it!  For each of these sessions, I'm asking for a $160 creative fee which covers my time and talent.  Due to the high interest, there is a $60 non-refundable retainer fee due upon selecting your date.  The remaining balance will be due on the day of your session.
 
Finally, let's talk about a giveaway!!!!!!  This fall, I'll be giving away a 16x24 canvas to one lucky family!  To be entered into the drawing your deposit must be received by August 27th, 2014.  Who wouldn't love a huge canvas on their wall?!  I bet you've got just the spot for it!
 
Ready to reserve your session?  Click here to sign-up for Immerse Photography's monthly newsletter!  It's the ONLY way to get exclusive access to my fall sessions three days before everyone else!  Yup, that's right.  You get to see the dates and claim your session on August 10th!
 
Still unsure if I'm the right photographer for you?  Click here to download this smartphone app (yes, you gotta use your phone) to see what your friends are saying about Immerse Photography!  And, everyone who can show me the app on their phone during their session, earns a free one for their family!  So grab that phone and get started!
 
Above all else, thanks for joining me on this journey.  I am SO BLESSED that you're along for the ride!
 
xoxo,
Cyrissa
