Ask and you shall receive!! For a very limited time only I am offering a special deal on my upcoming Creative Vision Workshop: Autumn Love. Yep, that’s right… a special. I have decided to take $100 off tuition for the next few days. You have until Saturday, September 11th, 2010 at midnight EST to take advantage of this promotion ONLY. This is my LAST workshop of 2010. *Limited spots available. Mention the following code: AL100 in an email or facebook message to receive the discount.
Want to know a little more about the workshop? It’s on Saturday, October 9th from 10 am – 5pm (one month from today!!)
It is going to be held at a beautiful park setting which showcases the amazing Fall colour that us Michigan folks get to enjoy every year. Golden pathways and rusty colored trees, crisp cool air… I can’t wait. There will be both male and female models, a fabulous couple, and some super cute children. The theme is Fall Fashion with a bit of a romantic feel. This workshop is ideal for: children photographers, couple/engagement photographers, model photographers, Senior portrait photographers (because of the young age of the models), creative photographers and anyone who enjoys using location/light/creativity to enhance their photos. If you are looking for help with posing, communication, creative vision and post processing- this event is for YOU. If you want to see what it is like to work on location, hands on, in the field with a team of models, designers, stylists…. for a full day….with other fantastic photographers, you simply won’t want to miss this. Especially for just $350!! If I continue to do workshops next year, the price will be nearly double that… so take advantage of a good deal when you see one. LOL!!!
The workshop also includes a catered lunch and is ideal for local networking and forming new friendships. If it is anything like the last ones I have had, it will be laid back, lots of fun and produce some amazing portfolio images. All participants are welcome to use the workshop photos on their websites/blogs/social networks. Don’t have a blog or web site of your own? Not a big deal! This event is open to photographers of ALL skill levels- even parents who just want to learn to take better photos of their kids. Feel free to visit my website for additional information.

I am off to work on another creative shoot this evening and looking very forward to it. For those of you who don’t know…. I am in the process of redesigning my website and am eager to add some of the new stuff I have been working on. It will be launched in early October. Stay tuned!
OK, OK, So I have been getting notes and folks out there have been asking…. “how ARE those shoots coming along???” So, I have decided to share a couple quick shots from my recent “project” shoots….
For those of you who DON’T already know, I am currently taking on about 10 creative shoots this month and re-designing my web site so that it represents more of my artistic photography. It’s what I love best. Originally I was hoping to get it all done in about 6 weeks, but now realize that 4 weeks is looking “doable”. (and…. yes, 1 week has already passed) This week I collaborated with a few ultra talented ladies, on 2 different shoots and have been working very hard on creating some fine art images from our session together. Yay!!! But for now, enjoy the little teaser. 
This first one was taken before we started the REAL shoot. hehehe.
And here a is tiny glimpse into my shoot today…. without giving away too much.
Stay tuned… I’ll be posting a LOT of new stuff soon. I wish it could be sooner but taking on an extra (2-3) shoots each week… in addition to client sessions + an abundance of online lessons = overload for me. LOL Good thing I love my job !!
** ALSO- Registration is OPEN for my next workshop on Saturday, October 9th. I have an f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s team set up for the GORGEOUS Autumn colour!!!! To register, send me a note or visit my site. You won’t want to miss out, I seriously cannot wait!! It’s my LAST one of the year.
Last weekend was a blast! My Whimsy workshop was held in SE Michigan in a beautiful park area with a team of brilliant models, stylists and some great kids, too. This workshop was full of playful colors, energy and fun. I have been posting images on Facebook but wanted to include an official post here on my Blog as well. If you would like to see more from this workshop, simply view my Lessons & Workshop Gallery (coming soon) or visit my Photography Page on Facebook. I also want to extend a HUGE thanks to all that came out to participate/work with me. It was a hot, but fabulous, experience. lol
SO have a look at some of my favorites….
And, on top of a fabulous team of models + stylists…. this time we also had a little section of the workshop focusing on kids. We used a barnyard setting! Have a look:
Those above cuties are my niece, Mel, and Tressie Davis’s two beautiful little girls- Riley and Alex. It was such a delight to have them with us!
If YOU would like to join me for a workshop…. send me a note at jenlynnalder@aol.com . The next one is going to be held on Saturday, October 9th in SE Michigan. The theme is: Autumn Love. I can’t wait!
Summer is such a fabulous time of year to capture silhouettes at sunset. Last night we had a beautiful sky… and I was delighted to work with a beautiful young lady named Lilly. Have a look at just a little of our work together:
Yea…. she pretty much ROCKS.
I have been already getting messages asking if I do portrait sessions like this for families, kids, brides and models… the answer is YES. I would love to do them. You can even book a mini-silhouette session.
** Photographers- I am also able to teach this technique via an online lesson. If you would like to learn or book a session, send me a note: jenlynnalder@aol.com or on Facebook. I have a couple more silhouette sessions coming up later in the month. Stay tuned for more image previews!!

We have an amazing group of models, stylists and kids lined up. Think bold color, energy and beauty. I do have a spot or two open- if you would like to register contact me ASAP. Cost is $450 (includes lunch) but I will take $100 off of your tuition if you mention code A100. I will be having another workshop on Saturday, October 9th themed: Autumn Love.
