Let your creative spirit expand, whether photography is a new hobby or a business, whether you are a beginner who needs to borrow a camera or a pro who needs fresh inspiration, let’s gather this Fall!

We know our ladies LOVE a posh, comfy location, so kudos to Genie and her team for working extra hard to ensure not only GREAT room rates for our ladies, but also BEAUTIFUL workshop locations!  Check it out!

#1–DALLAS!!

Dallas took first place in votes, beating Sacramento by only 3!  We are SO EXCITED to come to Dallas! And Genie has found us the most wonderful, posh hotel!  I can’t wait because I LOVE this chain of hotels!  (Chicago ladies, it’s the same chain we were just at a couple weekends ago.  Dreamy!)

Due to scheduling and availability, our Dallas workshop will happen in early November.  The end of Fall, but just in time for you to be ready for GREAT holiday photos!

#2–It’s time!  Here we come SACRAMENTO!!!!

A super fun detail about Sacramento…

After searching high and low, we have found a darling Bed and Breakfast for our workshop location, the Amber House!  The owner has already been so sweet and super helpful–we have such a GREAT feeling about this spot!  We’ve also reserved the whole house for Saturday night!  For those of you who grab one of their (gorgeous) rooms, they will take an additional $50 off for being a part of the workshop.  If you’re coming with a girlfriend or want a dreamy bed ALL to yourself (with no munchkins to wake you up), this is your weekend girl!  Since this is a smaller, more intimate venue, workshop spots are a little more limited than normal.  Get yourself registered ASAP!

#3–One of our favorite places in the Fall…WASHINGTON DC!

I LOVE DC in the Fall.  LOVE IT!  We are normally at the Hotel Madera.  This year, we are taking it up a notch (I know, for those of you who experienced Madera, is it possible?  Yes!  In the same boutique chain as Hotel Madera is the the lovely HOTEL PALOMAR!

#4–SEATTLE BABY! home is where the heart is!

We are back at our FAVORITE Northwest spot, Hotel Murano.  Yes, they have a PILLOW MENU!  🙂  I know a handful of you have been on the waiting list and missed our last Seattle workshop, this FALL it’s YOUR turn!

For those of you who voted for Florida, we are doing some research on hotels/availability for February or March 2012.  I’m so sorry we couldn’t pull it off for this Fall.  But keep saving your pennies, and we hope to see you after the New Year!

BABY & FAMILY MODELS WANTED!

We have two live shoots during the workshop.  We put all that we are learning to the test!   The results…AWESOME photos of our models!

If you have a baby that will be between 0-9 months during the dates of our above workshops, we would LOVE to have mama/papa and baby come be our models!  If you are desperate for a family photo, Senior High School shoot, or Pregnancy Photo, come be our models for the Sunday shoot!  In return, all models receive high res jpgs of the groups BEST photos!  It’s so much fun to have several different points of view in photos.

For details on what to wear and when to come, email Genie, genie@fioria.us.  We can only take a certain number of models, so email Genie asap.  Space is limited!  Cost is ZERO!

SPECIAL NOTES from GENIE!

WHAT DO PAST ATTENDEES SAY ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP?

On February 9^th 2011, Brian wrote a birthday blog post to honor Me Ra.  Over 100 people left comments that day with moving testimonials of how their time with Me Ra and her CONFIDENCE Workshop changed them.  What better way to know what others think than to read the testimonies of former attendees.  To see this special birthday post and read all the moving comments regarding Me Ra and her workshops, CLICK HERE.

NEW!  EXTRA GIFTS FOR ATTENDEES!

A year ago, when the recession was unbearable for so many, Brian and Me Ra made a radical change in their workshops.  Instead of bringing all their products (DVDS and 101 Kits) to the workshop to sell at a discounted workshop rate, they decided to gift all the products to their attendees.  The total product value is close to $600.  This is their way to help you beat the recession and find fulfillment in your photography aspirations whether photography is a hobby or dream!

Upon registering for the workshop, attendees will receive the Complete ‘Refuse to Say Cheese’ and ‘Beyond the Green Box’ set (not a hard copy but a link to view and download at home) before the workshop.  The set will help prepare you for the workshop.  But when the workshop is over, and your new tools are feeling a little rusty, you will have the set to watch again and again!  After the workshop, each attendee will be gifted all five of the popular 101 Kits!  Me Ra and Brian will make sure that you are set up if this is a possible hobby/part time business that you want to pursue.  Me Ra and Brian hope that this extra equipping helps you feel supported and empowered that much more!  For detailed information on any of these products, visit our store and scroll over any of the individual products!  Enjoy!  Excitement is in the air!

EARLY BIRD STARTS TODAY!! You can either reserve your seat by paying the whole Early Bird amount of $799, instead of regular price of $999 (until July 7th), or you can take advantage of our popular “fourpaymentsdeal” schedule.  Click on your city of choice for more details on payments!  Email Brian at brian@fioria.us or call his direct line at 253-468-6925 if you run into any technical issues when trying to register.

Cheers to this Fall being FULL of CONFIDENCE!
