IN-CAMERA Workshops are photography workshops which are designed to inspire photographers at all levels and help them gain a better understanding of every aspect of photography from beginner techniques all the way down to advanced lighting and business strategy. These workshops will cover many topics including:

- Shooting perfect exposures, color and compositions right inside the camera
- How to manipulate light to get the shot that you want every time
- Interacting with your subject
- Consistent shooting for fast work flow
- Finding natural light and using it to your advantage
- How to take your photography business to the next level through marketing and branding in a competitive market

There will be workshops geared for exactly what you need and all you have to do is choose the one(s) that are right for you. These workshops will be hosted by us (Zach and Jody Gray) at our studio in downtown Nashville. We will shoot on location with models in and around the city and show how we do what we do, day in and day out!

These workshops will be fun, informative and intimate with limited seating space for each of the sessions. They will not disappoint!

IN-CAMERA: Basics - Saturday, April 11th – $175 ($149 Early Bird) ($125 for High School/College Students, $99 Student Early Bird)
This workshop is great for those who really want to learn how to take control of that new digital SLR camera, or for those who want to take great, professional looking images of their friends and family. Topics will include camera basics, basic lighting and simple secrets of shooting killer looking portraits. This workshop will be one day consisting of morning class time and then putting into practice what has been learned in the afternoon. Camera function will be taught from a Canon digital SLR perspective.

IN-CAMERA: Shooting & Post - Sunday, May 3rd – $199 ($149 Early Bird)
For those of you who may not know, we achieve our entire look in-camera without the aid of Photoshop. If you want to learn to shoot correctly in-camera, greatly minimize your post production time, then this is the class for you. Topics covered: Color, exposure, basic lighting, and lightening fast post-production with Adobe Lightroom. Also includes group shoot time.


IN-CAMERA: Light - Sunday, May 17th & Monday evening May 18th – $399 ($299 Early Bird)
This workshop is for the advanced photographer looking to take his/her images to the next level! This one and a half day workshop will focus on advanced off-camera lighting techniques and composition. Gain valuable insights and skills in the short classroom time and then put into practice with guided learning during the group shoot time with professional models. The Monday evening session will be used for showcasing images, critiques, and Q&As.

The Jonas Brothers – Live in the Flesh! …kind of

by Jody on February 20, 2009, posted in Personal Fun,Videos

Yes, Zach and I have caught a bug, but it was well worth it! This past Friday through Monday Zach and I went with our church’s high school youth group on winter retreat as leaders. We had a blast and some crazy times (see below!) and also many heart to heart times as well. It’s funny how you go with the mindset of solely serving and being there for others, but then God rocks your world as well. The weekend was wonderful and the students in our group are so dear to our hearts – we love you guys and are so proud of you!

Here is us with (most of) our group on the last day:


Can you spot us? Some parents think we are students! … lol.

An interesting element added on retreat is that on the last night each small group had to perform a skit. On Saturday each group was given 3 elements they had to incorporate in the skit. These were ours:

1) Gladiators
2) Hannah Montana vs. The Jonas Brothers
3) Ancient Rome

Our group didn’t feel like putting forth the energy to make the skit and then have to perform the skit live on stage, so we had the crazy idea to be a bit lame, and do it all on video so we didn’t have to go up and act it out. The funny thing was, is it actually turned out pretty good and we WON first place!!!!!!! woo hooo!

For your enjoyment we bring to you our creation…



OK, so maybe it was not fair that we also did a sweet Rock-Star photo shoot of our look-alike bands, but why not take any advantage that we can to win? :)

Jody’s Reaction: “Oh, my gosh!”

The Million Dollar Dance

by Jody on December 31, 2008, posted in Videos

If there was an award for best marketing idea, that took a little bit of computer skills (ok, probably a lot), and a simple idea but yet brought in millions of $$, Office Max in partner with Jib Jab takes the cake. We saw the below video of us and were suckered in to paying the $4.99 to get this video. It’s only because we wanted to share it with you!

So to preface, you may think that the below couple – Lee & Elisabeth look all cool and nice and sweet, but in reality, they are up to crazy schemes and secretly have the best dance moves out there and have taught us some tricks as well…

This is a little something they made and sent on over to us…

Hope that brought some laughs…!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!
