I had the pleasure of meeting Christa Meola in NYC last fall during PhotoPlus Expo. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, educator and savvy business woman, she is adorable, a sweetheart, super energized and she's gonna ROCK your world this February 10-12th with her Boudoir Workshop on creativeLIVE! Just watch her intro video and you'll see what I'm talkin' about.
Christa wants YOU to help steam up the creativeLIVE studio! Celebrate Valentine's Day this year by joining Christa Meola IN SEATTLE for an exciting 3-day worldwide workshop focused on the art and business of boudoir photography. What is Christa looking for in her studio audience? This is a perfect opportunity if you want to learn all of the exciting aspects of the boudoir market, whether you’re just getting started or you’re already a seasoned pro and ready to take your business to the next level. This is your chance to represent your fellow photographers around the world and learn directly from Christa how to create a successful boudoir photography business.
Here's how YOU can audition be a participating photographer in this intimate creativeLIVE event.* Grab your iPhone, webcam or DSLR and tell Christa why you'd love to join her in person for her creativeLIVE workshop:
1. Record a video (60'ish seconds) saying why you want to join Christa in Seattle.
2. Post that video to your Blog, YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Etc.
3. Tweet the video's URL to @christameola and include #creativeLIVE in your tweet.
That's it! Easy peasy. Audition Deadline: Wednesday, January 18, 2011
Christa will be covering what you need to know about lighting and equipment, shooting on location and in the studio, building amazing client relationships, posing, post-production, pricing and much more. The agenda will include hotly debated topics, business strategy, Q&A's, portfolio critiques, and a series of live shoots. Take a front-row seat with Christa as she demonstrates how to work with women, from figure models to soccer moms, curvy gals and nervous clients. Watch as she relaxes stiff subjects, coaches natural movement, and captures gorgeous moments that allows each woman's unique personality and beauty to shine.

If you have just started discovering the wonderful new world of beauty, the tips described in the article below can not only help you begin a career in beauty, but also help you to create a beauty regimen that works for you. The tips in this article will help you get a regular beauty regimen that fits your life.
UVA rays can damage your skin just as easily in winter months as they can in the summer. You should always protect your skin from cancer and wrinkles.
You can make your own alcohol-free mouthwash by combining peppermint oil with purified water. Use a drop of oil per each ounce of water. To prepare your mouthwash, boil your water. Measure the oil into a heat-proof container that will hold the amount of water you're boiling. Next you are going to add boiling water. Use a clean cloth to cover the container, and allow it to cool down completely. Pour this into a container, such as a bottle, with an air-tight lid. Now you have a natural, alcohol free mouthwash!
michael kors bags If exposure to a different climate is making your hair go all crazy and frizzy, put some moisturizer or hand cream on it to get rid of the frizz. Distribute it through your hair by patting it on, and then twist it and pin it up, and keep it that way for a 2-4 minutes. When you take it down your hair will not be frizzy, and you can proceed with your usual routine.
If you have a problem with your hair frizzing, try a boar bristle brush. Frizzy hair is a problem for many individuals, especially in the dry winter months. When drying your hair, use your boar bristle brush to tame it down. This will help to avoid frizzy hair. Brush your hair with it, making sure that the hair dryer is blowing downward.
If you want to look your best, avoid excessive amounts of caffeine. Caffeine has been found to make you look older and more tired while also giving you the jitters. Only one cup of coffee or tea should be consumed each day. You can reduce the negative effects of these beverages even further by making the switch to green tea or decaffeinated coffee.
Enlighten your mind before you start working on your physical appearance. The big difference in those who look good versus those who don't is that they do not know how to properly take care of themselves. You will find it much easier to take care of yourself after you have learned these quick and easy tricks.
Don't try to put glue on the lashes directly; put a bit of glue on your hand instead. Then, dab the lashes onto the glue that is on your hand. This is the most efficient way to apply glue to your lashes.
Make sure that your skin is properly maintained and prepared before you apply any foundation. This means you should tone, moisturize and prime your skin for the type of foundation you are using. Mineral makeup wears longer with a proper base, while liquid foundation may apply neater. Proper base is important for either type of foundation.
If you want to improve the way you look, your mind is where it has to start. What separates those who maintain a sharp appearance and those who simply do not bother, often amounts to nothing more than know-how. It becomes much easier when you learn the right ways to do things.
Beauty is subjective, which means that everyone has a different opinion on what beauty really is. People have different opinions on beauty. We often judge our own beauty more critically than others do. These tips can help you get going!

I just wanted to add on to my submission... I have been to several photography workshops in the last 2 years on lighting, marketing and such (and of course I enroll in your CreativeLIVE courses as well). I get a lot of great information from these workshops, but unfortunately it can be very difficult to filter this information and use it effectively in a boudoir only business model. A workshop that focuses on how to dazzle your wedding clients and increase your wedding sales… doesn’t fit my needs at all! I really want to attend Christa Meola’s workshop with CreativeLIVE because it so perfectly fits my business and where I want to take my business in the future. Thank you!
