Tuesday I had a one on one Brainwash with Carol Mccowen from Ira, Texas! We had a great time and once again ate Abuelo’s and Cake’s cupcakes. Yum. Now I will diet, for real.

This is my second workshop to do all by myself. The last one was held in Dallas at The Apartment, and this one was held at my house in Lubbock! I had 9 awesome ladies come for a visit and we ate mexican food, cupcakes, peanut butter m&ms and talked photography for 8 hours! Here are the girls…

This post is a long time coming. Alison attended Love Affair in Atlanta this last summer and she was actually the first girl we met. She was out by the pool when all of us went out jumped in the cold waters and were talking about how nervous we were about speaking that night! Love Affair is such a blessing in my life and we were so overwhelmed with how good everything was going that we had a pool night and started giving away prizes to the person who could perform a certain pool stunt or contest. The prizes kept getting bigger and bigger until finally we all huddled up and Kelly announced that the ladies outside the pool had better get in because the prizes were about to get REALLY good. A few ladies stripped down into their undies and jumped in. That was it. No one else could get in for these prizes, and Kelly announced that I had just dropped 4 quarters in the pool and each lady that found one would get a FREE Brainwash with one of us! It was one of the most exciting moments at Love Affair. Those ladies dove in and I think that Alison might have been the first or second person to find a quarter. She traveled down with her cute dog, Daisy, for her free Brainwash 2 weeks ago and here are some pictures from the sessions!

Every winter is when I re-open Brainwashes to the public after a few month hiatus from busy wedding season! I will be booking Brainwashes any weekday on the calendar that’s open from January-February. If you have been wanting to be Brainwashed (a one on one workshop with me, where I tell all!) then this is the time to sign up! Want more info on a Brainwash? Click here to see the website.

Brainwash is a $1500 6 hour workshop with me!

Want to know something else that is cool? I am now opening them up to LUBBOCK people since we are moving next summer to Stillwater, Oklahoma!

Ashley Munn put together an awesome group of girls for the Dallas Brainwash yesterday for the group Brainwash at The Apartment. It was so nice to meet everyone!

Yesterday and some of today I spent about 2 hours cutting out about 1000 tiny strips of paper with comments, tweets and parts of pictures for the $1000 giveaway! I was originally supposed to draw on Sunday, November 1st, but I’m teaching a group Brainwash that day in Dallas, so today was the day! I piled all of the little twigs into my office chair and Josh reached in and pulled one out! Do you know who you are??? I do!

(fyi, these are Josh’s hands, not mine, I just shaved my arms for fun yesterday)

Heather, you have just won:
A FREE spot in my group Brainwash February 4th
A FREE night stay at the Overton Hotel in Lubbock
A FREE copy of UNO!

I also wanted to give away another FREE spot to someone who had quite the night when she was entering for this contest… click here to find out who won another FREE spot!

Sally Crunk is one cool girl! I photographed her sister’s wedding back in February in Midland and was so excited when she booked a Brainwash. She will be pretty big time, I think.

This morning I had a fun riding lesson with Donnie Maines, my friend who taught me how to ride on Dolly the mule. It was a great lesson and I felt way more confident on trying to fix Rev’s small problems. He even said that Rev could ride in the parade at the Cowboy Symposium September 14th! So I will! Maybe I’ll buy some chaps (maybe not:). From 12-6 I brainwashed Casey Hatcher from Abilene, Tx. Tressie and Chad (Magen’s wedding photographers) volunteered to be the models for our shoot, which is always a fun time, and we went to the sunflower fields, a random dirt road and Coyote Run Ranch! Here are my favorites…

So I was thinking about my group Brainwash and how it would be fun to not do them in Lubbock all the time. I thought of a fun idea!

Earn a free Brainwash spot by hosting it in your studio/home!

If you want me to come and teach a group Brainwash in your town and can find 8 other people who would come and book a spot then your spot will be free! All you have to provide is the space and help me find a model for us to photograph.

I am kind of a scatter brained person and just throw out ideas and then remember later that I didn’t really explain the details. Sorry about that, that’s just me being me. So I made a whole info page about my Brainwash seminar. Here it is.

The first person to book a group brainwash somewhere fun will get a group discount of only $600 per person instead of $800!

1) Manual shooting
2) 20 images broken down into lighting/purpose/posing
3) Lighting styles
4) Flash

LUNCH

5) Headshot of each attendee
6) Watch me photograph a couple (everyone bring their gear)
7) Photoshop/Workflow
Q&A!

To book your spot you can purchase it here!

If you have ever met me you probably have heard me say “big ol” before. Well I was wanting to do a large Brainwash and the first thing that came to mind was calling it the Big Ol’ Brainwash! I am going to be accepting 8 people for an 8 hour Brainwash on February 4th. Here is the Brainwash website if you want more info on what we will be doing. BRAINWASH website

It will be just like a normal Brainwash, but with 8 people instead of 1.

We will go over everything I know, eat a yummy lunch, go on a photoshoot, come back and learn photoshop and then answer questions! It will be a very simple workshop, no surprises, just a group learning time about photography!

Email me if you want to sign up! info@laurenclarkphotography.com

$800/person (lunch included)

From 10-6 on Thursday, February 4th at my house in Lubbock, Texas.
