I Learned me some new stuff! | Crave Mentoring

2012-01-11T09:27:00.000-05:00

All in all i have to say that my very first ever online workshop was pretty darn great!

It was slated to start at 8:00pm and run for about 3 to 3.5 hours,

well i finally had to shut my session down at 1:20am!

Yes Andee taught and took questions from us until the wee hours of the morning!

i sure did learn a lot!

I learned about using layers and masks and in Photoshop

that i knew was there but didn't really know how to use properly!

I learned how to use the dodging and burning tools, to give more life and punch to my photos,

and i learned that using actions are just the beginning of a great editing process

and sometimes not needed at all!

It was really just great watching someone else edit photos for a change

and then get to pick their brain about the little things, ya know?!

I wont be sharing any of Andee's secrets with you, so if you want to know all about her fabulousness

then may i point you in the direction of her CLASS

I have to say that i have hummed and haughed over taking this class for 1.5 years now

and i am soooo glad that i finally jumped in and did it!

So Since everyone that knows me knows i learn better when i DO

here are some samples of that i learned last night....

I have struggled for sooooo long with my black and whites,

I have not found anything that i ABSOLUTELY loved....

I was BLOWN away when i saw Andee create a stunning black and white

image using ONLY her tools in Photoshop.

NO ACTIONS where used to create this black and white!

and i have to say that i love it!

so there you have it!

My interpretations of Andee's teachings!

If you have EVER had the slightest inkling or interest

in any of Andee's ONLINE MENTORING WORKSHOPS

then please don't hesitate any more!

She is fantastic, kind, generous and is a wealth of knowledge!

GO NOW! I know you will come out happy!

Love, Tisha xoxo

what a GLORIOUS fall day!

Jen and Paul got married on October 29th 2011

my last wedding of year in fact, and it couldn't have been a more beautiful day for it!

everything seemed to go off without a hitch!

the girls made feel so welcome skulking about and snapping away,

I truly loved getting to know these two over the course of a year and a half,

the love they have for each other simply radiates from them.

Thank you so much Jen and Paul for welcoming me into your lives

i can't wait to see where the future takes you!

1. how did you get engaged? We got engaged at my house in the kitchen on our one year anniversary
2. why did you pick October 29th? because I was on vacation from work and YOU were available!!!!
3. venues:

ceremony~holy trinity Greek orthodox church

reception~sarnia road Greek Canadian club

dress~David's bridal in port Huron

Flowers~designs in bloom

cake~a piece of cake
4. what was your favorite part of your wedding day?standing with Paul at the alter and being a part of so many amazing Greek traditions & customs. Hearing so much positive feedback about our wedding
5. where do you see yourselves in 5 years?we'll hopefully be busy raising some children and spending lots of quality time as a family
6. tell me about Paul in 5 words or less....supportive, handsome, loyal, caring and thoughtful
7. tell me about Jen in 5 words or less......caring, loving, thoughtful, compassionate
8. what is your favorite photo from Intrigue Photography of your day?I love all the pics I've seen of our wedding
9. Got any advise for future brides & grooms? do as much planning as you can early, the week leading up to the wedding was fairly relaxing, and compromise with your partner..

1 of 52 Weeks | Ingersoll, Ontario Photographer

2012-01-05T20:11:00.001-05:00

for years now i have wanted to do a daily or weekly challenge,

and for years now i have just not had the time!

well, my friends this is the year for me,

i am MAKING the time...

i think the idea behind these challenges are to push yourself

creatively and to step outside of the box, so to speak!

Each week there will be different themes,

week 1's theme is LIGHT

and here is my interpretation....

I hope you all follow along and maybe i have even inspired you to join in!

2012-01-05T02:18:00.000-05:00

Wyatt was just over a week old when i met him for the very first time,

to get some pretty great shots!!

this little man is SURE to be quite the ladies man when he grows up!

ask for me, Tisha!!

**THERE ARE ONLY A FEW SPOTS LEFT**

click HERE to take a look at some samples of my work!

and here are what some ladies are saying about their experience...

TASHA.... One of THE best things you can do for yourself!! I did it 9 mths preggo then again like 7 mths or so after having my second child. The pics make you feel like a completely different person and raises your self confidence like you wouldn't believe! :) and Tisha makes you feel super comfortable the whole time and you end up Laughing your butt off the entire time and have so much fun!! I highly recommend!!

KAT..... Oh girls how I wish there was something I could say to change your minds. I have suffered for years not loving my image but after an afternoon filled with laughs with Tisha, I got some amazing photographs. I made a book for my husband with them and sent them to his military posting for his birthday. I have never felt so beautiful as I did that day and now I have pictures to prove it:) Do it!!! It is wonderful self esteem boost!

SHELLEY..... I had the absolute best experience! I just had a baby three months before i did my boudoir pictures so i wasn't the most confident but like everyone has said Tisha Johnson makes you feel incredibly beautiful. The pictures were STUNNING and i love that Tisha made me feel so good about myself!
