Hello, Internet. Good morning and welcome to the final day three of senior photography with Kirk of all claim right here on Creativelive. My name is Lorraine Lobdell. I will be your host today along with Cap E J. How are you, darling? Good morning. I am doing great, darlin. What's going on, Sugar? I like talking like with a little bit of Southern drawl this week. Heard I love it's really fun. Such a great week. It's been so much of on energy. We just had such a great time here. And we're just so glad that you are all joining this right now. Day three. I can't believe we're on Day three already. It's gone. Ladder that happen? Yeah. Yeah. Kurtz energies has been cruising, and we've had an amazing in studio audience. And we've had so much fun in the chat rooms with all of you to absolutely. All right, so obviously we're having a little bit of pre show right now. We're testing our audio. We have about eight more minutes of that pre show while we're doing so. Those of you who are already in...
the chat rooms because you guys have been so fantastic all week if you could. Right now, just give us a shout out. Let us know where you're joining us from around the world and let us know if you can see us and hear us clearly while we test everything out. Right now. That's right. And while we are, while you're telling us where you're joining us from, I will be checking the live tab. First, we're gonna introduce our studio in studio audience for you. We have an amazing group of five students. Part of the magic is getting the right chemistry of the rate people at the right time. And this is one of those groups that's just bringing it this week. So if you could tell us where you're joining us from again, where we can find you online and what you're most excited about. Day three, maybe who ironed your clothes this morning? And while you while you're doing that, I'm gonna go check the inter tube. All right. My name is Paula. Judo. I'm originally from Brazil and I leaving for a lot of those. Seems to like 1999. These experience first is amazing. If you wonder, you have a chance to make a video and be part off trade. Life is an amazing experience. I met so many great people here. We decide, like to share a room in this case was talking early here that they decide to share a room because it would be a little cheaper. And today, yesterday I was complaining that gosh, he got ready and didn't every waking me up. And today like he asked, You want Iran? You're so he iron my clothes like awas so cool of him Like best best best roommate ever. But if you want to find me in the Facebook just goto Paolo photography like in Facebook follow photography. That's my my Facebook. And today, what they expect from Kirk is like a nothing less and less. Today was amazing already Two days and today you're going to see how everything's come together is I mean, do not get out off your sit because it is cool. That's awesome! Thank you so much. Pulled up. My name is Leroy Tademy from Tademy Designer Photography. You could find us on Facebook at Tademy designed photography. Our seniors, by Tademy Designer Photography were also on Instagram Tademy DNP Feel free to follow us. Thank you for the shout out. I'm not opened up a dry cleaners, so don't expect to iron everybody's clothes. Just, you know, uh, today is just going to be an awesome day. Like workflow is something that really feel like I struggle with my wife started let the reins go a little bit. So she lets me do a little more editing. So hopefully after today should let the reins go a little bit more and I'll be able to do a lot more editing. I'm looking forward to it. Don't you dare get out of your seat. You better keep your eyes glued on that computer screen the whole time because you don't wanna miss a thing. Fantastic. I am Kim Griffin. I'm from Bel Air Maryland. I have had a wonderful time here. The whole staff here creativelive has been wonderful. They've made everything great. My fellow students have been wonderful. Had a great time have learned so much. I can be found at flawless photos dot net. I'm also on Facebook and photos is f o T O s have be a little different. Um, today is really important to me about workflow. Don't leave your seat and then re watch it again. Once or twice. Everybody's in for a blessed today, and I'm Monica from Family Affair Photography based into Coma Washington and, um, were found it family affair photography dot com and on Facebook, Family Affair photography. And for today I'm looking forward to the workflow. I had seen one little clip that Kirk had done once before on how to do skin tones, and I realized I sent him an unedited photo, so I didn't use his practice. But it cut my editing time down considerably with that one little tip. So if that one little tip can do cut down your time, I can imagine what he's gonna be showing us. We'll get me home or get me off the computer faster, which I really want. So, Mastic, I'm Russell. Hey, originally from Home of Louisiana, currently live here in Seattle and you can find me online Facebook. Russell had photography on also on Twitter at Russell. Hey, um, the thing that I'm looking forward to today is I did a shoot last night, and I edited three photos that took me way longer than they probably should have. Um And so I'm just looking like Monica said for a way to speed that up. Um, Grande. I was watching TV while doing it. That's fine. By, um, being able to do that fast on get through way more photos than three and evening. I like that like that. You're setting a goal for yourself and already applying everything you're learning every evening while you go back and wait for coming back to class the next day. So cool. All right. Kathy J. In addition to these fabulous people here in our studio audience, who else is joining us out there? In the Internet world, We've got people joining us in places that I'm jealous that you are like the Cayman Islands. I really I would be down with being there right now, so enjoy your day there. Thank you for joining us. Good evening, Webby boy in Belgium. Hello. Photographic Miami in Miami. I would also be down with being in South Beach right now. Um R. Hellman, 71 says hi from Nashville, Tennessee. Mr. Stand me. I shout out from like Charles, Louisiana, and got Tanya pick joining us from Bowling Green and Apocalypse hello in Dublin. happy evening there, too. I'm guessing so many more. Chris Waldon from Nixa, Missouri. See Goose from San Antonio, Texas, and goalie Mom 95 is ready set and go in South Florida. That is awesome. We love a having a huge global community. Keep continuing to let us know where you're joining us for throughout the day because we will be sure to give you a shout out whenever we can. Right now, I want to take a moment to bring up one of the students so you guys can get to know them a little bit better. And so, Monica, I asked you a little while ago if you wouldn't mind jumping on up this morning and nothing we ask you a couple questions on the air. Cool, Ari. So this is the second time you have been to creative life. And you are kind of a local to the Seattle area and you have a family affair dot com. That's your photography business. How long have you been a photographer? Um, about 10 years now, Actually. Excellent. So it's been a while, but And what an accident. What is your most favorite thing about photography? Oh, wow. just the emotion of the day, you know, for weddings, because it's mostly what we dio. So just the emotion, you know, the father speeches and the tears and the hugs and all that stuff. Really life, Yes. And I just really want to get into seniors to, because their excitement, zest for life. So being eso, you have watched creative life. For how long? Anybody here in a hat, Okay. And so you've been watching and learning along the journey, and I'm sure you've been able to apply a lot of those things from all of different classes to your own photography business. What has it been like to be actually here in the in studio audience? Learning from Kirk firsthand has it given you a different edge and of different learning capacity that you're able to apply to your business being here versus online. It just well, of course, you get the full attention of the instructor. The instructor has his full attention. It feels like on you, even though it's not, you don't get the whole audience here. Um, it's just the energy Here is 10 times what you get on the Internet. I mean, if the Internet feels like high energy there. It's nothing like what you're getting here. I mean, it's just you get more well absorbed more. And you were part of that energy to because you've been so fantastic. This is the second time you've been here another first time. You're here with Clay Blackmore? A few months or a few weeks ago. And you he had you guys assisting, crawling on the ground, holding again with Kirk. You also were holding up backdrops yesterday. You guys were doing all sorts of work. So having that hands on because we're bringing the energy and such a big part of this, we're glad that you submitted a video. And is it hard to submit a video? Tell everybody out there? How? Not at all. Just get a video. My daughter did my 1st 1 with me. She held the video. Little flip cam held it up for me. I did my little spiel. Um, this video that we did for Kurt, my husband kind of scripted one for me, which was kind of we had a little fun with it. Um, but no, it's it's very easy. Just tell him why you want to be here and show a little of your personality.

Enjoyed the course from start to finish especially all the marketing, advertising opportunities and pricing ideas. My wife and I spent Labor Day re-watching the marketing and pricing section and came away again with so many great ideas. Workflow and shooting the pics is more my responsibility of my business and his posing, lighting and workflow is awesome...In the beginning of the course I was disappointed in the actions as freebies but the more I got into the course and especially the last day with workflow, I broke down and used the Pro4um coupon from the swag bag and joined. That's what really made the actions more valuable because when you join the Pro4um, you get the entire setup for Kirk's workflow. The bridge setup, the scripts etc...I greatly appreciate what Kirk taught in this course and his passion for this line of business because it's helping WHP in every area from start to finish with our buisness!...Thanks Kirk and Thanks creativeLIVE for having Kirk do this Senior Photography course!
