Framing the Unspoken: Photography with Kate Preftakes - FULLY BOOKED
A Day of Photography, Storytelling, and Grace Notes at Tahilla Farm
Where stillness speaks—and stories unfold in light.
Join fine-art photographer Kate Preftakes and, me—Jeanne Henriques, for a quiet, creative day at Tahilla Farm— a place where photography, light, memory, and story gently intertwine.
Kate captured the poetry of people and place last summer at a family wedding here—the memory of that day still lingers. I’m delighted to welcome her back and to share her thoughtful, soulful approach with you.
This gathering isn’t about technical perfection—It’s about noticing what moves you and letting your creativity lead the way. If you’re drawn to still life, natural light, hidden corners, and the art of quiet observation, this day is for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Not at all! This day is for anyone drawn to quiet observation and storytelling through images—whether you’re using a phone, a camera, of simply a thoughtful eye. Beginners and seasoned photographers are equally welcome.
-
Yes, but gently so. Kate will share approachable tips for working with light, emotion, and stillness in your photography. Jeanne will also share her personal approach to creating images with ease, often using just her phone.
-
Bring whatever you’re comfortable using: a phone, your favorite camera—or simply your curiosity. A notebook or journal is always lovely companion too.

Both. Weather permitting, we’ll spend time in the gardens, meadows, and along the Poetry Trail. We’ll also photograph indoors—in the book nook, the garden shed, and quiet corners of the house. If the weather shifts, we’ll embrace the cozy, creative spaces inside.
-
We carry on—with umbrellas and open hearts. The interiors at Tahilla Farm are just as inspiring as the landscape, and we’ll adapt the day’s flow accordingly.
-
Comfortable layers and walking shoes are best. We’ll be moving between indoors and out. Bring a jacket and a sun hat, just in case. Bug spray and sunscreen will be available if needed.
