Conceptual Photography Workshop


Conceptual Portrait Photography


This past weekend ROCKED my little photography world in such an AWESOME way!  On Friday and Saturday I attended a photography workshop presented by the VERY talented Heather Evans Smith (www.heatherevanssmith.com).  Heather is a conceptual portrait photographer from Winston-Salem.  In her two day workshop we not only learned what makes her mind tick but also how to unlock our own imaginations.  On Saturday we had the opportunity to work with two beautiful models in two truly inspiring locations.  Our first stop was at this crazy old antique store/house.  Everywhere you turned there was something new to look at!  It's one of those places you drive by and think... I wonder what treasures they have in there.  Our second location was at an old farm house... with chickens!  Our time here was cut a bit short due to a massive storm that came blowing through.  It was so neat though to sit on the front porch and watch the wind whipping through the trees and hear the rain pounding on the roof.  I think this weekend confirmed my decision to move full time into photography.  I LOVE what I do!

A BIG, BIG thank you to Heather for putting this workshop together!  You are AWESOME!

Did you know that we can setup a photo shoot like this for you!?  Working together we can figure out concepts, props, wardrobe, setting, etc all specific to you.  Have an idea!?  Great let's run with it.  You want a photo shoot like this but not so sure what you would like to do?  No problem.  We'll put on our creative thinking caps together.


Each photograph portrays a concept... it tells a story.  Some stories are seen by the me, the photographer.  Other stories are created by you, the viewer.  What story is it speaking to you?.....
