Hi Friends!

We're a week in to summer and boy do we feel it!

Hey Hey Hey!

School's out and you want to get those fun summer vacation photos.  But you're not sure what to do.  So we got a few words for you.  The F word, the B word, and the... O word.  Focus, Balance, and Organize.  In this episode, we talk about how to get the most out of your summer fun pics and the courses that can help.

First, let's get the kids engaged with the 4 Week Photography Camp and/or the Ultimate Outdoor Summer Challenge.

Next, find out how to shoot best in that summer sun.  We talk about your equipment + heat = bad, those great beach/water shots, green grass and skin tones, and working in full sun.  Phew.  We get through a lot.  Don't forget to drop on by and leave a review, support the podcast, or send us a voice message.  If you think there's a course that works that we forgot to mention, leave us a comment!

Thanks Friends!

Hello Friends.

We wanted to take this episode and just chat about what's coming and going.

We got a chance to do some new shots in a wonderful studio in the Boston area called The Newburyport Studio (https://thenbptstudio.com/).  Seriously, not a bad photo can be taken there.  We HIGHLY recommend it.

We take a break from our summer plans to talk about... our summer plans.  How about those insta...matic cameras?  They can be a lot of fun.  GoPros might be the way to go.  And all those great family shots that can sometimes be candid.  It's your summer.  Make the most of it.  Enjoy the time.  Because school is starting soon...er or later.  And it will be back to the grind. So moms, dads, kids, and the whole family should be getting out and getting those photos in the sun. Just in time for our Summer Outdoor Challenge! (https://hellostoryteller.com/product/the-ultimate-outdoor-summer-challenge-2021-rwmc-collab/) That's right... IT'S BACK!!!

See you outside!

Hello Friends!

We're very excited about this week's episode.  But before we get into that, we want to apologize for the odd sounding quality.  Our normal recording service was down but we were so excited about getting this information to you that we had to (JUST HAD TO) fine a way to record.  So here it is.  The moment you've been waiting for.

We are super excited to announce a dedicated Hello Storyteller Series for Kids!

It's a 4 week camp for ages 8 and up and teaches the basics of photography including the foundations of photography, editing, indoor/outdoor, and more! Your instructors will take your little ones through 4 weeks of virtual classrooms, videos, and various exercises to help them learn and grow and become the photographer they want to be.

Check out all the information here: https://hellostoryteller.com/product/hs-kids-4-week-photography-workshop/

Hello Friends! This is it!  The last of the unreleased episodes.  Phew.  Feels so good to get them out there. On this episode we talked to Magdalena Bartkowska about her new memoir and what it's like to work with editors, to get it published, and just the entire process that goes along with creating her book.  The creative process can be just as hectic and involved as it is with music or film or photography.  However it may be, a lot of the process and the pitfalls are transferable.  Settle in!  This is going to be great. We're thinking of doing more episodes on the creative process in other arts.  Is that something you want?  Head over to our page at Anchor (http://anchor.fm/hellostoryteller) and leave us a voice message, pop into the Facebook group, or leave a review wherever you get your podcasts.  Thanks!

Hello Friends

This is part 3 of 4 for our 2020 quarantine series.  In this episode from the vaults we interview author and photographer, Eileen Lamb.

Eileen is the force behind The Autism Cafe (https://theautismcafe.com/en/) a blog where she talks about what it is like to raise an autistic child while also being on the autism spectrum herself.  The interview is very insightful and provides a lot of great tips and tools on how thrive in the industry and as a mother.  We hope you like the episode.
