Personal | Workshop From Heaven - Part Two

Richard Israel's workshop was a blast. The second day ended with a group portrait and hugs goodbye. I could not be happier that I was a part of this and I will always remember his desire to teach and create beautiful images.

Here are some of my images mixed with shots of Richard the Great in action:

Personal | Workshop from Heaven!

AHHHHMAZING! I am not usually an ALL CAPS girl, but I have a lot to be excited about today! It was day one of a two-day wedding photography workshop with the brilliant Richard Israel. I took the one-day version of this workshop two years ago, and it was enlightening to compare where I am now to where I was then. The atmosphere was so positive and all the photographers had a different story to share. I left feeling very inspired to learn & grow as an artist and person. Tomorrow, we will do some on location shooting and I can't wait!

Kids & Teens | Santee, SC Shootout

Greetings & happy Sunday! Yesterday, I took a drive down to Santee, SC to meet up with several fellow photographers and create some beautiful images. We had lots of models to play with us and here are a few of my favorite images.

Chelsea (below) was up for anything - even lying down in a field while wearing a dress!

The kids were just precious! Some took more time to warm up, but finding what made them smile and capturing it was well worth running through the grass and making fools of ourselves. 

I hope you all had a wonderful, surprisingly warm weekend!
