Hi Farrah! I attended your marketing class held Tuesday night for the Guild in Baton Rouge. You have more than inspired me! I have already developed my 'logo' and may I add with all of your suggestions in mind. You were absolutely, by far, the best speaker in all of the meetings I have attended! (3 years without missing too many) You were speaking my language and I was paying attention! Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful secrets and for inspiring me! Julia...P.S. I wear a size Large t-shirt!

Farrah- I love your Monday Lessons! For Photoshop, I sure would LOVE to know how to create storyboards and collages in Photoshop. I'm really getting a much better handle on PS these days, but I haven't even messed with that yet. Also, how does everyone get those curved corners in PS? As for Shooting- it's a toss up b/w Self Portraits & Shadows and Reflections- so do both! ;)

the monday lessons are fantastic! they are a great way to get me to just take pictures and try new stuff out. the basic digital retouching in photoshop would be really helpful as well as the different shooting ideas that you have.

I love your Monday lessons, they're so helpful!
I especially like the photoshop ones. Some ideas for future ones (since you asked), 1) I'd love to know how you go about choosing which photos to edit from a shoot- that's always a hard part for me. I mean, which ones do you throw away, which ones do you show the clients? Do you edit before or after showing the clients? Do you edit 30 still to only have them choose two photos to order? 2) If you went through how you edit one picture - every single step, from start to finish. I know that would definitely help me, just in my own editing at home and the studio. You ARE such an inspiration, keep up with the work :)
