I Learned me some new stuff! | Crave Mentoring


All in all i have to say that my very first ever online workshop was pretty darn great! 
It was slated to start at 8:00pm and run for about 3 to 3.5 hours, 
well i finally had to shut my session down at 1:20am! 
Yes Andee taught and took questions from us until the wee hours of the morning!


 i sure did learn a lot! 
I learned about using layers and masks and in Photoshop 
that i knew was there but didn't really know how to use properly! 
I learned how to use the dodging and burning tools, to give more life and punch to my photos, 
and i learned that using actions are just the beginning of a great editing process 
and sometimes not needed at all! 

It was really just great watching someone else edit photos for a change
and then get to pick their brain about the little things, ya know?!

I wont be sharing any of Andee's secrets with you, so if you want to know all about her fabulousness 
then may i point you in the direction of her CLASS
I have to say that i have hummed and haughed over taking this class for 1.5 years now 
and i am soooo glad that i finally jumped in and did it!

So Since everyone that knows me knows i learn better when i DO 
here are some samples of that i learned last night....




I have struggled for sooooo long with my black and whites, 
I have not found anything that i ABSOLUTELY loved....
I was BLOWN away when i saw Andee create a stunning black and white 
image using ONLY her tools in Photoshop. 
NO ACTIONS where used to create this black and white! 
and i have to say that i love it!

so there you have it! 
My interpretations of Andee's teachings! 
If you have EVER had the slightest inkling or interest
in any of Andee's ONLINE MENTORING WORKSHOPS 
then please don't hesitate any more! 
She is fantastic, kind, generous and is a wealth of knowledge! 
GO NOW! I know you will come out happy! 


Love, Tisha xoxo

Paul & Jen | London, Ontario Wedding Photographer

what a GLORIOUS fall day! 
Jen and Paul got married on October 29th 2011 
my last wedding of year in fact, and it couldn't have been a more beautiful day for it!
everything seemed to go off without a hitch! 
the girls made feel so welcome skulking about and snapping away,

I truly loved getting to know these two over the course of a year and a half,
the love they have for each other simply radiates from them.
Thank you so much Jen and Paul for welcoming me into your lives
i can't wait to see where the future takes you! 


1. how did you get engaged? We got engaged at my house in the kitchen on our one year anniversary 
2. why did you pick October 29th?
because I was on vacation from work and YOU were available!!!!
3. venues:
cake~a piece of cake
4. what was your favorite part of your wedding day?
standing with Paul at the alter and being a part of so many amazing Greek traditions & customs. Hearing so much positive feedback about our wedding
  5. where do you see yourselves in 5 years?we'll hopefully be busy raising some children and spending lots of quality time as a family
6. tell me about Paul in 5 words or less....supportive, handsome, loyal, caring and thoughtful
7. tell me about Jen in 5 words or less......caring, loving, thoughtful, compassionate
8. what is your favorite photo from Intrigue Photography of your day?I love all the pics I've seen of our wedding
  9. Got any advise for future brides & grooms? do as much planning as you can early, the week leading up to the wedding was fairly relaxing, and compromise with your partner..

1 of 52 Weeks | Ingersoll, Ontario Photographer

for years now i have wanted to do a daily or weekly challenge,
and for years now i have just not had the time!

well, my friends this is the year for me, 
i am MAKING the time...
i think the idea behind these challenges are to push yourself
creatively and to step outside of the box, so to speak! 

Each week there will be different themes, 
week 1's theme is LIGHT 
and here is my interpretation....
I hope you all follow along and maybe i have even inspired you to join in! 


i LOVE me some CRAVE!!

this new year for me is going to be a year of taking on new projects and leaning 
all kinds of new and awesome things! 
Starting with an online workshop with one of the most talented
photographer (in my humble opinion) Andee Tate of CRAVE PHOTOGRAPHY
if you haven't heard of her or her work, well then crawl out from 
under that rock you have been living in and GO CHECK HER OUT NOW!!
I will be participating in a group online mentoring class with her
and a bunch of other crazy fabulous photographers next week and i cant tell you

Not only is she extremely talented she is an amazing human being!
