Exciting News!
Well, for starters, I cut my hair tonight! And, yeah, no picture yet. It's just plain mean to post that without sharing a picture, but... ummm... you KNOW you always come out of the salon lookin' a lit-tle funny. Am I right? Hopefully soon, though!
Next, check it out... I've made mention of this in passing over the past couple months, but it's official now. I'll be joining the most incredible & talented photographers Michael Norwood and Fred Egan in hosting a workshop. Let me tell you that these two guys are absolutely the BEST of the best, and I'm not sure how I ended up in their company! Ha! No, really though... we all have something different to bring to the table, and I KNOW we'll make an awesome team! It's gonna be TONS of fun. So, yeah, read on for the "official" announcement with LOTS of info.
Fred Egan: Portraits
Amy Coffey: Kids
Michael Norwood: Weddings
We're three photographers who love what we do and want to share it with others. Come hang out with us and learn how we work, how we shoot, how we interact with clients. Come be stretched technically and inspired creatively. Change the way you think and look at your photography and leave with the knowledge you need to continue growing and some killer images to add to your portfolio.
WHEN: April 20-23, 2008
We'll get together Sunday night to meet, eat and get to know each other. Monday morning everything begins with some classroom time covering marketing and the technical side of shooting. After lunch we'll head out for a live shoot and then to dinner. Tuesday we'll cover post-processing and the artistic side of shooting. After lunch we'll head out for another live shoot and then to dinner. Wednesday's schedule looks the same... classroom time, lunch and the workshop concludes with the last live shoot.
WHERE: Glen Rose, TX... a little town outside Dallas with a lot of charm and a million places to shoot. You'll stay at a charming lodge on the bank of the Brazos River.
COST: $1500
Tuition includes 3 days of in-depth training with Fred, Amy and Michael, lodging and all meals, 3 live shoots, one on one portfolio critique.
We'll cover the technical and artistic aspects of shooting (camera settings, composition, seeing the light, being inspired, working with clients during the shoot), workflow (from raw files to finished product), post-processing, marketing, getting published.
Space is limited so reserve your spot soon! Email info (at) thelabworkshop.com

Good for you Amy. That sounds awesome! You are so talented. You'll do great at this.
Glad to see this coming together!
This sounds like an incredible workshop and you definitely have some really talented instructors.
What level of a photographer is this for? Is this for someone who's already in business or would it help someone who's just starting to PB? What level of experience is needed w/ PS?
This is awesome Amy! I just posted details on ILP.

Sounds so so awesome.
I'm super excited to see your haircut.
I understand the lack of a picture- you want it to look perfect the first time you show everyone.
Aw man, come to Philly!!!
That is exciting, congrats! Oh, I so wished I lived near Texas right now...
Exciting stuff...look forward to hearing how it goes.
Wow!!! Congratulations! This sounds awesome!
Sounds very exciting! I saw the pre-announcement on Michael's Blog, and wondered when news was coming.
Ah, if only I had $1500 (plus the money for air fare) and the time to fly to Texas...
I'll be there in spirit ;-)
I can i borrow a camera and $1500, this sounds like it will be fun!!Way to go Amy!! -Jimmy
You go girl! You are so awesome and talented, you are right where you belong! I wish I could go but it can't happen this time. Havea blast and I'll be stalking your blog for updates on how it went! You rock!
Ah dang...I have a birth shoot who is due on the 23rd!!! Congratulations! Glad to see you've finally announced this ;) Next time!
Awesome! I am sure it is going to rock! Gosh, I wish I lived in Texas :)
When do we get to see the haircut?
How did you decide on Glen Rose? And what level of Photographer would be best to attend? Beginner with a new business or someone who needs some new inspiration?
Congrats Amy, such exciting news!! Anyone attending this workshop will get so much out of your instruction. You have helped me out tremendously and have the best way of explaining things so well. Good luck with it and I can't wait to hear how it goes :)

Hey Amy!
My name is Rebecca Trump - my sister is Rachel Ford and she works with your BIL, Jimmy! 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon, huh?! LOL!
I live in Bwd - and can't believe that you only live 20 min. from me - i totally would have had you shoot my wedding last year. :0)
Congrats on the workshop! That is so cool!
you are going to rock this work shop for sure...wish l lived closer but canada is abit away...lol...can't wait to se the pictures....
I want to see the hait cut :)
Um, is that little tiny profile picture your new hair cut? We need a larger one and one that actually shows it. But it's a nice picture.
Amy this is SOOOO awesome!!!! I'm incredibly excited for you, I know I could learn some amzing things from you. I would love to do this but you know, new baby and all the new costs that come with that. ;) However, it is so close to me. I really really need to come!!!!
Thanks, everyone, for the encouragement! I really, truly appreciate it. It's really, really, REALLY coming together! We've got some cool sponsors lined up, and we'll be releasing more details on that soon. I'm excited!
Kimberly - We decided on Glen Rose because I live a short distance outside of town. It's a really cool little quaint town with LOTS of charm & personality. There are a gazillion fantastic locations all within walking distance (for the most part) of the fabulous riverfront lodge where we're holding it.
As for what kind of photographer would be best... so long as you've got a working knowledge of ISO, aperture & shutter speed, you'll definitely benefit. There will be fantastic opportunity to grow your portfolio as well as gain one on one critique of your work. Michael & Fred are both master marketers, and so they will DEFINITELY give you some invaluable insight for growing & publicizing your business. However, you can bet there will be OODLES of inspiration. I expect to be HUGELY inspired myself! :-) It's gonna be a good time, for sure!
I hope that answers your questions some. :-)
Amy..... I'd kill to come hang out with you three! Not sure if I can convince the husband to fork out the cash but miracles to happen. Cross your fingers.
Congratulations on this one, amy!!! I hope it will be a blast!!! goodluck!!!
