Personal Photoshop Tutoring

So how much will it cost? - $109
(discount of $20 given if you already own my action set. Discount code is "alreadyhaveactions".)

What does that include? - 2 hours of One-On-One tutoring, my Photo By Emilie Action Set , and a 25% off discount codes to purchace my Eye Action & my Texture Set.

What will I learn? - I have a list of 10 items I wish I would have know when I started. I have you rank these items from most to least important & we get through as many as we can in 2 hours.

Here is the list of items...

1. My Quick Step Work-flow - from start to finishing an image & how I keep everything organized.
2. How to load & run actions. How each action works & the adjustments I make to create the perfect effect for each individual image.
3. How to use textures & how to make your own.
4. Tricks & Technique of my Eye Action.
5. How I like to switch heads & faces.
6. How I like to fix an image that is too dark or too light.

9. How I fix blemishes.
10. I bring my library of reference books & tell you which are my favs & why.

What to expect...

On average clients are able to tackle about 6-8 of these topics in a 2 hour time frame. It will depend on your experience & how fast you grasp the concept. Again, you rank these items & we do the ones you want to learn the most first. You are welcome to team up with a friend & split the cost. On average during 2-on-1 session we tackle 4-6 of these topics depending on experience & your quickness.

Please email or call if you have any ?'s!!

For our wedding we made coloring books for all the kids out of our wedding photos. It's a really fun photoshop trick!!

Walker, you little angel, I thoroughly enjoyed this little man! Sorry you got stung buddy, but you were a trooper and nothing that a candy can't fix!
And Porter, as always you are such a good boy, I will just remember to hide my scissors next time. Thanks Hurren family, I loved this location and your choice of outfits were great, this was soooo much fun!

I don't think the girls are going to be able to stay away from you handsome boys, way too many good looks going on here! And Jana, I love their outfits, they looks GREAT!
When did he turn into a teenager? Seriously ... a little sad day for me, but he is a fine young man!

It has been WAY too long since we did family pictures, so we went with Emilie up the Garden
Park Ward and had so much fun doing our family pics!

The kids absolutely adore Emilie, she is too much fun to be with, each of them love to pose for her and they welcome all the attention she gives them, plus the never say NO rule to her photo shoots :) It was a welcome change for them from the always say NO mom!

Thanks so much Emilie, this was so much fun, I love working with you, but even more I really love getting to know you!

Beautiful family Kim!

Stephens Family

Is Lily still smiling? That girl loves to get her picture taken, and I LOVE all her poses, better get a camera in her hands ASAP! It was a fun evening, even with Jackson taking a dip in the stream, at least he kept his smile.

I am so going to have to get one of these skirts, they are so adorable and "princessey".

Hunting Wedding

2009-05-12T20:37:00.001-07:00

Oh, what a beautiful day! Thanks so much for letting me share in your joy, I had more fun than you can imagine. I just loved how you much you enjoyed each other, the whole wedding party was a hoot!

I was SO impressed by your vertical in heals! I'm not sure I could jump in tennis shoes, any you pulled it off looking so completely adorable.

Best wishes in your future together as Mr. and Mrs. Enjoy the journey!

Kyle & Mindy

2009-04-26T23:46:00.000-07:00

I had a great time with you both and Gavyn was a gem! I'm glad that the ducks and geesed didn't charge him, they were twice his size! I think the setting was perfect for both your backgrounds - FARM! It's the life isn't it? Mindy you did a great job hiding that 15 week tummy of yours :) Can't wait to meet the little button and take some more pictures!

Austyn & Dallin

Corbins!

2009-04-17T07:54:00.000-07:00

Michelle, you picked the most beautiful day to take pictures and to top it off the kids were GREAT! I think your mom is right, Dylan did miss his modeling debut - he was so cooperative! Lunch afterwards was great as well, oh the fun of kids and eating out.
Seeing the pictures of Brett makes me realize how fast he is growing up, what a big boy he is now and he will just get bigger. MaKenzie too! Loved that she was so interested in the flowers and all the "girly" stuff. Thanks for spending the afternoon together, I had a great time, the kids were wonderful, can't wait to do it again!

The Corbins

Nielsons!

2009-04-09T07:30:00.000-07:00

This was so much fun! Bridger is such a ham for the camera and had so may fun smiles and faces, what a personality! I hope Kennedy is feeling better now, you wondered why she wasn't very happy ... and we found out at the end! Poor Kennedy! Even with being ill just look at those beautiful blue eyes. Good luck keeping the boys away from her, even when she is not feeling well she is absolutely adorable.
Lindsay, you did a great job choosing outfits and accessories. Your bracelets really added a punch to all the pictures, love the colors! Thanks for letting me spend the evening with you and your super fun kids. Oh, and Nieltson, I tried really hard to call you Jeremy all evening, I might even get used to it.

The Nielson Family

Chad & Sarah

2009-04-02T15:42:00.001-07:00

Chad and Sarah were so much fun to photograph! Thank you for letting me share this great day with you and I am so glad we were able to get these done before the snow! I love how the blue background makes your eyes stand out Sarah - oh so blue! And, Chad, I don't know what you are talking about with your "goofy" smile, it looks great to me!
Amidst all those noisy trains we got some great shots, improved our balance, a lesson in train track safety - FUN!
It's been a long journey and you are about to be rewarded for it! Best wishes on your upcoming wedding, you are a beautiful couple and I am excited for your bright future together.

24 Ramdom Things About Me

2009-02-16T01:13:00.000-08:00

1. I love to scare people and play pranks
2. I don't mind laughing at myself to amuse others, I also don't mind laughing at others!
3. I have the best friends and family around
4. I never liked chocolate, until the past 6 months and now I want it all the time!
5. I enjoy being independent and not "needing" help from anyone, not a good thing at times.
6. I can be extremely stubborn, also, not always a good thing
7. I love to clean my house and even more fun, organize everything!
8. I once rode my tricycle off the porch and landed on my face, my face was paralyzed for 6 months afterwards
9. I used to spear frogs with my brother Jared, and we would catch hundreds of tadpoles and dry them out on our inner tube
10. I am deathly afraid of frogs, snakes and spiders (revenge from my childhood)
11. I had a great childhood, we played outside every day building forts, sledding, swimming in the nasty horse pond... it was the life.
12. I love pasta, any and all kinds, but ravioli is probably my favorite
13. Kickboxing is my new favorite workout, I feel like I could kick butts afterward, if only I wasn't so tired!
14. I stick my foot in my mouth more than anyone I know, a result of always trying to be funny I am sure
15. I spend way too much time on facebook and blogger
16. I love people and meeting new people and people watching....anything people related
17. I enjoy a good vacation with the kids, not sure there is such a thing, but Disneyland is GREAT!
18. I was born and raised in Canada but have spent 10 years living in Utah
19. I would love to live anywhere, but high on my list is Boston, New York, and Central America
20. I used to sit in strategic locations around BYU campus and laugh at people slipping on ice with my sister Jana - I also used to play pranks on Jana, ask her sometime! Fond, funny memories.
21. I miss living close to my family, especially in the winter...those are some great sledding parties I am missing out on!
22. I wish I was a more thoughtful person
23. I have the most odd assortment of jobs - tree pruning hundreds of acres of forest, training cattle for cattle shows, washing and bathing cattle for cattle shows, hot dog vendor at football games, snow cone artist, life skills advisor for mentally handicapped adults - to mention a few I had just during college!
24. I am horrible about keeping in touch with old friends and am so grateful when they love me just the same!
