About My Lifestyle Photography Education in the Twin Cities

Hi! My name is Ann Marie and I have been a lifestyle family photographer for ten years. Prior to being a photographer, I was a teacher in the Peace Corps and then a non-profit executive. I have always had a heart for service, a love of teaching, and a gift for artistry. I have combined all of these experiences and passions to shape my photography business, and I want to share it all with you! From how to serve your ideal client, to defining your story, to enhancing your level of artistry in your work, I make every workshop and mentoring session a truly personal experience that celebrates your gifts and helps you and your business grow into what you dream it to be!

Through workshops like this one, my hope is to help you enhance your approach to lifestyle newborn and family photography through artistic shooting techniques, styling, special client services, and beautiful editing.

This is a motherhood workshop, intended to help you learn how to capture the connection between mothers and OLDER children! Our model will be a mother with one to two children over the age of 4 through teens. We will talk about strategies for working with older children, capturing their unique personalities and connection with their mom, camera settings, client relations, and everything in between! I’ll share some of my favorite shooting techniques and guide you throughout the workshop. This is a great way to build your portfolio, enhance your camera skills, and get some good experience, all while building community with other local photographers! A knowledge of Manual Shooting mode is required.

Workshop Includes:

  • Discussion of how to best work with older kids, strategies and prompts, camera techniques, with me and your fellow photographers.

  • Hands-on, fully styled shoot with a mother and one to two children, at golden hour in a stunning prairie location (Crow-Hassan Park).

  • Explore everything from camera settings for each scenario, light play using creative techniques using plastic bags over lenses, prisms, and different camera angles to create different moods and effects.

  • A small-group environment of a maximum of five photographers.

  • An editing video where I talk through my editing process with one of my images from our session, and a review of your edited images. Images will be useful building portfolios!
