The Fighter_Cancer "just for me" session (Greenville, SC)

Remember what you have before you lose it
Photography is about capturing a moment you can never get back. Time moves on with or without us, and it's a daily decision whether we are going to live each day on purpose. This became more real to me as we undertook a project involving a lady who found out she had cancer.

The birth of the "just for me" session
Deborah came to us wanting to capture what she looked like, with her real hair, before treatment began. The shoot, she said, is for me. She helped us coin a new term at getzcreative called a "just for me" session. You don't need to be diagnosed with cancer to have one of these sessions. Sometimes it's perfect to celebrate where you are today, just because you realize the beauty you've been given today. Tomorrow is not here yet, yesterday is already gone, but it's today that we've been given. There are so many good things we can be grateful for, and I want 2012 to be a year of gratitude for what we do have.

Life could always be better, but living in gratitude for what we have now, can dramatically change our outlook, and bring opportunities we may have never seen had we been focusing on the "what wasn't going right."

I love this photo below, because it reminds me of the spirit each one of us can choose to embrace, if we put our heart into being grateful for what we have now. This message goes way beyond pictures and creative imagery. And if you've been wanting to celebrate a moment in your life, don't wait; start today and watch the magic of life unfold before you— focusing your mind in a spirit of gratefulness. And perhaps you'll find yourself wanting to capture that moment in one of our "Just for Me" sessions!

much love and looking forward,
-TJ

2012 Getz_School Workshops are coming (find the workshops that are right for you!)

Expand your creative thought (Idea Workshops)
We believe a large part of success is all in how you think. Sure, it's great to learn about the latest technique, but without good foundational thought behind what you do, how can you get to where you want to go, without knowing where you're going?

We strive to to expand your thinking, helping to give you the stepping stones to push past your current level and onto your next breakthrough. It's not about your equipment or photoshop skills, it's about accessing tools inside you, to help you get where YOU need to be.

Increase your Photoshop Skills
Whether your new to photoshop or a seasoned veteran, we want to help take you to that next level in retouching prowess. Find personalized help in small classes to help you achieve new skills for a new year!

Take away your lighting butterflies (Lighting Workshops)
Photography is not just about ideas, it's about controlling the light inside those ideas. We know lighting can be intimidating. Let us help you demystify your lighting conudrums with one of our lighting workshops!

Become a better shooter (learn camera basics and beyond)
Whether you are a newbie or a serious amateur, let us help you in your ever expanding photographic journey.

Date & Times
With the new year right around the corner, we are preparing the schedule for all our latest workshops. We will be announcing our 2012 schedule shortly. Bundled discounts will be available as well as multiple dates throughout the year. If you have any questions, please contact us; we can't wait to meet you!

looking forward,

Warehouse Creative Session (day-after trash the dress, Greenville SC)

In our latest Day-After Creative session, we took our bride and groom to an old warehouse as our backdrop. Our day-after sessions, (a.k.a trash-the-dress sessions) have the unique feel of something more artistic coupled with mystery and unspoken story lines. The day-after creative session is perfect for that couple who wants a distinct artistic feel with them dressed in their wedding attire. We strive to bring you new experiences with each new year of shooting, and we're happy to showcase this sneak peek from our latest session.

Thank you for being here.

looking forward,
-TJ
