About me and my mentor auction
I guess the first thing to know about me is that I really hate writing about me. It’s just not a subject I’m terribly interested in. That said, I know it’s important for you to have some sense of who I am, so here goes. I have always loved photography but never dreamed I could be one until I met Monique Feil. She saw my passion for images and while carrying her bags at a wedding, she handed me a profession camera, showed me the basics of using it, and I was hooked. I fell in love with the idea of capturing people in their special moments and really never looked back. I put out my shingle as Sara France Photography in 2002 and I spend most of my time shooting, here in beautiful and sunny San Diego, but also frequently across the country or around the world. In fact, I travel so frequently that my friend Becker coined the phrase “Where in the world is France,” that became the namesake of blog. My images have been featured in numerous publications including magazines such as, Modern Bride, Ceremony, San Diego Style Weddings and San Diego Bride & Groom, as well as on some of the more popular blogs including Snippet and Ink, In Style Weddings, Style Me Pretty, Southern Weddings and the list goes on. I speak frequently at major industry events including WPPI, Photoplus and on the Aperture World Tour as well as for Pictage’s PartnerCon where I have been a featured speaker in 4 of the 5 years. You may also have seen my images as one of the sample projects shipped with Apple’s Aperture 2 or Aperture Training Videos and Materials. I also shot a series of the business profiles seen on the www.apple.com. I decided a few years ago that not all camera bags should be canvas and velcro and designed by people with no fashion sense, so along with my friend and partner Lauren Hillary, I founded GO|BEE bags, a line of professional camera gear designed especially for photographers with their own sense of style. I love photography and the diverse and fascinating career it has given me. As a speaker, mentor and friend, I love taking advantage of opportunities to share what I know and to learn from the people I’m teaching. Nothing makes me happier than knowing I may have helped you, just a little along the way, on your path to success. My Mentoring Session will be just that, a session about you. I want to find out where you are and how I can help you get to the next stage in your career. If you want to shoot, we can shoot. If you want to talk about your workflow challenges, let’s jump into that. If you have a product you have been thinking about bringing to market and you want advise on how to do that, great! I am an open book and I want to give you what is going to help you instead of telling you what I think you should know.
My mentor session can take place at WPPI 2010 (Las Vegas), in my hometown of San Diego, CA OR on the phone.

This is the FIRST Aperture Training specifically for wedding and portrait photographers. I teamed up with Photography Mentor to create my very first Aperture Intensive Training DVD! This last week my incredible video editor, Solomon Blank put this trailer together for me to share with everyone to give you a little taste of what the training is like and just a few of the things that you will be learning in this 3+ hour DVD.
I created this DVD because I really wanted to get the information out there and help as many photographers as I could at once. I would love to be able to sit down with each photographer and share all my favorite things about the efficient and fun workflow that Aperture can offer them but I knew there was no way I could. I thought about doing an Aperture Workshop but I know it would be especially hard to make it all the way to a live workshop with the costs of travel, food & the workshop price. I wanted to be able to deliver the information at a cost that would be affordable to everyone and at a pace that you can determine. This DVD provides over 3 hours of quality training that will make you an Aperture Pro!
Each topic includes tips that will not only train you on these areas but give you best practices along the way. It is packed with great tips, short cut keys, custom settings, and downloadable goodies to go along with the training. Check out the trailer!
