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.

Hi everyone! Summer is such a great time of year but it sure is easy to skip a blog post or two, lol. Don’t worry, I haven’t forgot you I’ve just been super busy lately. I will be posting client sneak peeks towards the end of the month. Honsetly, I have been blessed with amazing clients and terrific opportunities this year. Some wonderful changes have been made around here and I wanted to take a moment and share the news!
1. Creative Minds Workshops: These are a new addition this year. So far I have had the following topics: 50′s Fashion, Creative Boudoir and Fantasy. To view sample images, please visit my Lesson and Workshop web site They include a team of models and stylists and are capped at a small number so that everyone who attends get plenty of in the field practice. My degree is in the Arts and Education (and politics), so the decision to add edcuational workshops for photographers was an easy decision….and something I am very excited about. They’re affordable, too! Currently, I have three workshops open for registration. Two are in SE Michigan and one is in Dallas, TX. Cost is $450 per person, which includes lunch and all fees. The workshops are great for beginning photographers as well as business owners. We focus little on technical info and more on creative vision / communication to acheive sucessful images. The models who attend are age 17-25- (perfect to use in Senior Portrait Galleries or to attract young brides.) In addition, the workshops have a male/female couple (great for engagement photographers) and children (family photographers). The styling teams help us create an ideal image- giving your final products an artistic edge (all photographers) and will most definitely enhance your current portfolio.
* I have decided to offer a special STARTING NOW through 11:59 pm EST on JULY 26th (my b-day) for my SE Michigan workshops/mentorships. If you would like to attend either one, send me an email at jenlynnalder@aol.com or on Facebook with the code A15 in the subject line and I will take $100 off of your tuition. The current workshop options are: WHIMSY on Sunday, August 15th with models and kids & AUTUMN LOVE on Saturday, October 9th with models and kids.
2. Brand new- MINI SESSIONS are now available. For a fraction of the cost, clients can now book 30 minute sessions that include a dozen retouched images on DVD for only $350. Availability is limited… but these are ideal for parents who want frequently updated images of their children, anyone who needs a current head shot or digital files to put on their business web site, or folks who love custom photography but are on a budget. Take advantage of this new option! Call or send a note to book your date today.
3. Digital Portrait Packages are now available. I still offer full service photography printing for customers who prefer it; however, with the exception of wedding albums and Senior Portraits, I am now a full digital photographer. Clients will now receive all slide show images burned to a DVD included in their session price. No more sitting fees or minimum purchase requirements.
4. Class of 2011, Seniors- contact me for some FABULOUS deals and sessions that are fun, fun, fun!
5. Ladies….. if you have been wanting to get your Boudoir pictures remember that Summer is coming to an end. Be sure to schedule soon if you want to show off your great bikini body/tan. I can still fit you in.
