Celebrating Moms. 2012 Series.
I love photography and storytelling and documenting and being held in a moment. But what I love more, WITH ALL OF MY HEART, is being a mom. Anyone who has known me for forever will attest to the fact that it changed me (right Jod ;)). It softened me, made me slow down and taught me more than I could have ever ever dreamed.
What I have thought about over the past year - and with photographing families - is the power of a mother's love. Unconditional, authentic, pure love that, I believe, can truly change the world. One child at a time.
So, naturally, photographing moms and their children completely makes my heart sing.
Now, THE SERIES. I have been wanting to pull together a story, or what I would like to call series. Linking lives and humanity together in some way. In some way, with some thing, I am passionate about. And here I am. Over the next year, once a month, I will be scheduling one day just for this project.
And being the dreamer I am, I hope at the end of the year I can share a Legacy Book of the love shared between Moms and their children. And while I am at it, maybe a gallery show too :).
Have meaningful portraits with your child and become a part of this lovely series. Call or email to reserve your spot for the first January session. Thursday, January 26 - 10am - 3pm, in the studio.

Photographing Your Daily Stories. The Class.
You own a camera. You never pick it up. And if you do - you sense immediate frustration in the fact that you can't get the shots you want. So if you did pick it up, you put it back down and your family photos live on your iphone.
Sound familiar?
Due to the encouragement of some of my favorite people (you know who you are ;)), I have decided to take the leap into teaching a BEGINNERS PHOTOGRAPHY CLASS.
What I hope to achieve from this - or more what I hope you get out of this - is the inspiration to pick up your camera and document your daily life in a creative, easy, fun filled way. In a way that tells your authentic story through your eyes. For your children.
DATE: Monday, January 16
TIME: 7pm - 9pm
PLACE: To be confirmed
COST: $100
You will be required to have a DSLR camera to work with.
WE WILL:
Work at understanding your cameras basic settings, to help you work at getting the shots you want.
Discuss composition and creativity.
Tips on using natural light.
Documenting my family is a huge passion of mine and basically how I got started on this journey. I am super excited to offer this class and can't wait to help you tell the your stories!
This class is limited to 12 participants. If interested, email me youandme@leighagraf.com.
