Less than 10 hours left to register at the ridiculous rate of $399, you all can thank the 6 weeks of no sleep for that.

THE LAST CALL ALUM FEATURE
Joosje Janssen

https://joosjefotografie.nl

I cannot say enough about Joosje! Her energy is magnetic, vibrant, passionate. She makes your feel safe from the moment she enters your space and her work is the perfect example of that. It is clear her subjects can be their authentic selves when in front of her camera and because of that each one is very memorable.

06/23/2024

LAST CALL ALUM FEATURE

Saskia Albers
Portray Your Story - Family photography and films
https://www.portrayyourstory.co.uk

Saskia was a TRUE delight to work with in London. She allows her work and life to be lead by curiosity and it shows. Her photos are whimsical, funny, honest and raw. At the same time there is a dreamlike quality to some of her work that reminds us to lean into our imaginations more every day.

THE LAST CALL ALUM FEATURE!

Julieta Martinez

I LOVED working with Julieta in London. Her work is such a beautiful reflection of her spirit. Effortlessly peaceful, beautiful and free. Her innate drive to connect with her more abstract point of view moving forward was really exciting to experience.

This is my very last opportunity to learn about Documentary Family Photography from me, in-person. To be able to ask ANY and ALL questions. I built this program to compliment my 3 Creative Live Classes. While there is some review, almost EVERYTHING I am sharing in October is new, updated and evolved information.
*
THE LAST CALL London was a really special experience. I am SO EXCITED to do it all over again in October in my home city.
*
I am also working on a super cool evening add-on the second night that includes a magician, comedian, spoken word artist, musician and a whole bunch of talented kids! Yup! I'm going BIG!
*
All three cities are being recorded. Your individual city will be available to just YOU for on-demand and then a compilation of London, Denver and Australia will be available for everyone who attends in early 2025. The on-demand will be available for purchase mid 2025 for the world and will sold for around $1200. So. . . . even if you can't attend, you may want to consider purchasing a ticket anyhow. If you want to scholarship someone, you can purchase a ticket, get access to the on-demand, and then I can gift the in-person spot to someone else!

I'm going to spend some time answering questions, share what has been going on with me professionally and personally, The Last Call, some new opportunities and . . . . anything else that might randomly come up!

06/21/2024

I’ve decided to go live to clear up some speculations, share some exciting news and reveal where my life is headed next!

Join me!

05/20/2024

I’VE BEEN BUSY???
*
Honestly it’s not even the best excuse why I haven’t promoted this event better. Life has been pretty hard as of late and before I knew it I’m a little over a week out from THE LAST CALL LONDON!
*
THE LAST CALL is your last opportunity to work with me personally around the genre of Documentary Family Photography, as I am retiring all my educational opportunities both in person and online centered around it. And because of that I proved it AS LOW AS I POSSIBLY COULD.
*
I am really excited to be having and joining me! They are each exceptional storytellers, photographers, women, humans.
*
It’s going to be a really wonderful 2 days of learning.
*
I’m closing registration on Friday, so if you’d like to attend I still have space!

I am so so proud of my partner Mitchell Magdovitz. He spent his entire adult life in corporate America working with small startups as a businessman, negating his true calling to just celebrate human relationship with nature and make tree climbing accessible to everyone.

A year ago he made a choice to FINALLY follow his heart and take over http://www.treeclimbingcolorado.com

It's really beautiful to see the person you love the most be filled with pure joy everyday, doing what he feels fulfilled to do.

If you are interested he runs private climbs, public climbs, events and parties! Come to Colorado and climb with us this summer.

Tree Climbing Colorado is reportedly one of the few recreational tree-climbing companies in the country.

I am desperately trying to finish my new website. I need some feedback/testimonials to include regarding seeing me speak. If you have attended a conference where I delivered a Keynote talk, any chance you would be willing to share a few words about your experience below?

04/15/2024

I have entered the most joyous part of the book making process….the “go out there and find funding” part.

For those that are unfamiliar, EVEN with a well established publisher behind you artists have to fund their books 95% of the time because they are expensive to print and because the majority of the genre has a very niched demographic of buyers (other artists/art collectors). It’s a pretty painful, arduous task. It sucks the soul right out of it, if I’m being frank.

I will not make any money from the sales of UNSUPERVISED and I’m ok with that. That has never been my motivation for making it. I truly believe that this book can help parents around the world feel less alone.

I will be running a Kickstarter in the next few weeks for limited edition and signed books and there will only be a handful of copies available for pre purchase. There is strategy behind this decision that may or may not be the most ridiculous dream but I’m going for it anyhow.

This week I’m connecting with and sending out sponsorship boxes to those interested in donating to UNSUPERVISED. My publisher is technically a non-profit and all donations go directly to them. There are 3 tiers of funding options and they all come with larger rewards including 10+ limited edition copies, VIP access to my opening (NYC AND DENVER at the moment), dinner with the artist, private artist talk in the location of your choice, limited edition prints…..the third tier includes a business storytelling package that will be shot in 2025.

If you or your business is interested in learning more you can DM me or comment below and I will add you to the contact list. These funding options begin at $5000 and come with a 501c 3 certified receipt that come directly from the publisher.

DRAWINGS, HOMEWORK and everything inbetween!

I am looking to include a few more illustrations by children. They can be family portraits, self portraits, pets, games, their home…you name it!

Also, fun classwork/homework.

You can simply make a photo with your phone but I need the highest resolution image.

You can email them to:
[email protected]

I would need the kiddos first name and how old they were when they made it!

IN RETROSPECT

Another thing I have yet to ask parents IS . . . .

If you could sit yourself down BEFORE becoming a parent, what might you want to share with them knowing what you know now? I think this is so incredibly important, to share REAL valuable reflections from parents to “soon to be” parents. Not from therapists. Not from professionals. But simply from parents not pretending to be perfect, embracing giving themselves grace.

I really would like to include words/thoughts from both moms and dads with kids of all ages. If you are open to sharing you can do so anonymously, with a pseudo name. I would love to include your age and how many children you have. I am looking for vulnerable shares that are a few sentences - short paragraph long. You can share below OR comment that you are interested and you can submit privately. My deadline is this week.

You can also submit using this link!

KIDS SAY THE MOST AMAZING THINGS

I have quite a few but it there are any last minute funny/heart warming/alarming/disturbing things your kid have said. . . .and would like to share, I am gratefully accepting last minute submissions!

You can comment below. Please include your kiddos 1st name and the age went they said it.
