Workshop | Caralee Case & Jennifer Nace

Apr 17, 2016 | Featured Photography

Today I’m gonna tell a little about one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had with newborn photography last year! Caralee and Jennifer are two American photographers, great references in this kind of photography, and for me, the greatest inspiration. I follow their work since I started in this area and I never thought I would be with them in the same studio one day! For me, their photos are so perfect, like they are not real people (lol), but they are! And they are super friendly, funny and willing to teach you everything they know. Since 2014 I was planning to go to this workshop but they didn’t have open classes for 2015 at that time. It would be a journey that needed enough planning, and I would need to organize my schedule in advance since I was living in Brazil and the workshop was in the USA. Finally, 2015 classes were open and they had a date that I could participate. I signed up on the same day! It was the four longest months ever, but finally, the big day arrived! Jennifer’s studio is in a small town close to Minneapolis, Waseca. The studio is beautiful, and we all got crazy with so many props, headbands, backgrounds, baskets, and everything! It was a dream! It was two days of much learning, exchange of information, and practice. I have attended several workshops and lectures, but I confess that this WS was a lot different. In fact, I was the first Brazilian to participate in this workshop (yay!) 🙂

I really want to thank Caralee and Jennifer, for the great reception and the wonderful experience that they provided us. This workshop was a dream coming true and if I could, I’d do it all again! Thanks also to all partners that presented us with amazing props to let our photos even more beautiful! ♥

Hoje é dia de um post muito especial! Vou contar um pouco sobre uma das experiências mais incríveis que já tive com a fotografia de newborn! A Caralee e a Jennifer são duas fotógrafas americanas, grandes referências nesse tipo de fotografia, e para mim, a maior fonte de inspiração para o meu trabalho. Acompanho o trabalho delas desde que comecei nessa área e nunca imaginei, um dia, estar com elas no mesmo estúdio (principalmente pela distância)! Para mim, o trabalho delas é tão perfeito, que é como se elas não fossem de verdade (rs), mas são sim! E são super queridas, simpáticas, engraçadas e dispostas a ensinar tudo que sabem. Desde 2014 estava planejando ir no workshop delas mas ainda não tinha nenhuma turma em aberto para 2015. Seria uma viagem que precisava de bastante planejamento (por ser em outro país) e teria que me programar com bastante antecedência, até para organizar minha agenda e tal. Enfim, as datas de 2015 saíram e se encaixaram com uma data que eu poderia participar. Me inscrevi no mesmo dia! Foram os 4 meses mais longos do mundo, mas finalmente chegou o grande dia! O estúdio da Jennifer fica numa cidadezinha próxima à Minneapolis, Waseca. O estúdio é lindo lindo, e todas fomos à loucura com tantos props, headbands, fundos, cestos, tudo! Um sonho! Foram dois dias inteiros de muito aprendizado, troca de informação e prática. Já participei de diversos workshops e palestras, mas confesso que nesse WS vi muita coisa diferente, e muita coisa diferente do Brasil. Aliás, fui a primeira brasileira a participar do workshops delas (uhul) 🙂 Bastante coisa também tem que ser “adaptada”, pois no Brasil as pessoas são bem diferentes e nossa cultura é BEM diferente. Aproveitei a viagem para comprar vários acessórios novos pro estúdio também! Como lá nos Estados Unidos esse tipo de fotografia é bem mais comum e já existe há muito mais tempo, é inacreditável as opções que eles tem de tudo que vocês imaginarem para fotografia de newborn. Cada loja que entrava ficava quase maluca! Fora as lojas online, que fica muito mais rápido e fácil de acessar – e o melhor, não demora 4 meses para chegar e não precisa pagar o altíssimo imposto de importação! (rs).

Quero muito agradecer a Caralee e a Jennifer, pela ótima recepção e pela experiência maravilhosa que nos proporcionaram. Esse workshop foi um sonho realizado e se eu pudesse faria tudo de novo! Obrigada também à todas as queridas parceiras que nos presentearam com props lindíssimos que deixarão nossas fotos ainda mais lindas! ♥
