Woohoo!! Here's the information that I think a lot of you have been waiting for!

The professional {life as art} Workshops launched in 2009 to rave reviews. We solicited feedback from attendees and their response was almost overwhelming. Attendees overwhelmingly gave the workshop 5-stars and heaped praise for our attention to detail, organization and depth of instruction. Many raved that the workshop taught them more in a few days than they had learned in the previous year of study.

Consequently, I’m so excited to announce dates for my professional {life as art} workshop for the first half of 2010! My workshops will run a little differently this year and will be 3 full days of fantastic instruction, yummy food and amazing goodies!  All professional workshops will be limited to 25 people. If these workshops fill, I will add more dates for the second half of 2010. Here are the details:

I’m also excited to announce a 2-day professional lighting workshop. This will be a new workshop that will focus on using lights on location and seriously advanced Photoshop work. It will begin where my professional workshop ends and will only be available to professional workshop alumni and those who own my workshop in a box. Workshop space will be limited to 12 people and promises to be an intimate, hands-on learning experience. Again , if this first lighting workshop fills up, I will add more dates. Here are the details:

Many have asked about workshops in Europe and Australia for 2010. I don’t have plans to hold another workshop in Europe for 2010, but I might consider adding one in Australia in August if I feel there is enough interest. If you would be interested in attending a workshop in Australia, please email me. I don't have plans currently to offer any beginner workshops in 2010.

Enrollment for all 2010 professional workshops will begin on November 2.

In addition to my in-person workshops, I will also be offering all my professional workshop materials for purchase as the {life as art} Workshop in a Box. The Workshop in a Box will include the {life as art} workshop manual, which is a 230-page textbook of my personal insight into creativity, composition, in-camera technicalities, digital workflow and business strategies. The book is an actual textbook, not just a copy of powerpoint slides and includes hundreds of full color images and illustrations, as well as exercises and worksheets that you can do to practice principles in each chapter. Additionally, the Workshop in a Box includes a DVD of me shooting an engagement session and a family session and explaining how I implement principles outlined in the book. The Workshop in a Box also includes the {life as art} professional CD which has over $350 in templates, actions, business forms and other exciting surprises, all entirely unique from anything on my Flourish Emporium site. The Box will also come with a $50 Flourish Emporium gift certificate, 2-years access to the {life as art} Workshop Forums, as well as vendor gift certificates, information and offers. And it all comes packaged together in a fun metal tin box!

The {life as art} Workshop in a Box will cost $549 but will be offered for the first two weeks for the amazing price of $499. The Workshop in a Box will go on sale on November 9.
