alice lake

i love this lake, and location.... and yet often forget about it... right outside of Squamish, I need to remember this as a great place to photograph families... the forest, the paths and the lake.

captured moments

I have been thinking a lot about my philosophy of photography lately... Why do I do what I do... and how I do it... and what I want to do... what I want to capture...

...what I want to bring into my work even more... is what I want to remember... 

 

The image that makes you feel... laugh... cry. 

These images do that for me... they are moments captured... real moments. Not perfect... just real. 

 

This is my friends Heidi's family.... She has a blog and it is beyond great... I never get past a post without crying, resonating... laughing... Take some time over there... it will make you a better person!

Remember this sweet bump, and then baby? 

I LOVE LOVE when I get to go back... as they grow... and change... and capture just a whole other part of the journey of being a baby... being loved... adored... delighted in... 

It is always an honor to photograph this family.... i feel so much creative freedom to just be me... see the way I see... and photograph the way I love too...

Course Outline

This workshop is catered towards beginner and intermediate photographers wanting to further enhance their portfolio (if you are a blogger, a mom wanting to take better photos of your kids, or just a lover of photography). 

The course is divided into two sessions. Morning session will include a casual conversation focusing on individual’s self reflection with photographing as the main intention, facilitated by the instructor. The afternoon session will focus on the importance of light, the technique of finding light and the best way to capture it. Students will be inspired and encouraged to capture their surroundings with “new eyes” as they participate in a styled photo shoot with a live model and stylized culinary set up. The workshop will further focus on capturing the image including composition, camera modes, settings, styling and posing and will conclude with a question and answer period and critique of the photos taken throughout the session.

Bio

Anastasia Chomlack has been a photographer in the Sea-to-Sky Corridor for the last six years. With a focus on everyday and special occasions, Anastasia photographs families, weddings, commercial and fashion. She enjoys capturing the daily. Her work has been published in magazines and online wedding inspiration blogs. Anastasia sees beauty. She hones in on a subject's quirks, their essence or inner strength, and lets shooting situations evolve organically. Her ability to generate rapport with clients quickly, to gain trust and dispense with awkwardness is her greatest asset. Photography reminds Anastasia everyday to live in the present and to capture "today"... she hopes to in part this lesson and this message in her upcoming photography workshops as she shares her passion and experiences.

bowen island

I think the biggest compliment in my business is return clients. I always feel so honored to be asked back into a family... and to photograph not only the interactions, but also the changes in the family! 

I photographed this family years ago... click here to see 

I was freaking out that they grew so much... but yes... that is what happens! 

This mamma is also a super business savvy and I love to just listen to all her ideas, her wisdom... I am like a sponge when I am around her and always leave inspired by her parenting, her business... everything. 

Plus on top of everything this session got me a day in Bowen Island... and I know that the ocean and Islands are my refuge. XO This was a good day! 

some favorites

remember this amazing amazing couple... click here is you missed it...

i was so excited to meet this adorable little guy... he is so so cute! such an honor to photograph families with so much love and joy... cannot wait to keep photographing this sweet one. xoxo
