T here's always a brief moment right before I meet the group of workshop attendees when I get an overwhelming sense of Be-cool-be-cool-be-cool. Like, I have to remind myself to keep it together and stay collected because this group of photographers traveled from all over the world for The Workshop, and I don't want to disappoint them.
On Monday night, the attendees planned a mixer before the workshop, and I was excited to attend. Yes, I was juuuuust barely getting over being sick, but I was determined to be there. Pumped up on Sudafed and all. Things went well until the night lingered and perhaps I got tired. Or something. Because the next thing I know, I dropped an ENTIRE glass of ice water on the girl sitting next to me. And ohmysweetbabyjesus I panicked. I grabbed a cloth napkin and started patting her down...which was stupid. Hello, Heather, can I please fondle you?!
The good news is that it was a wonderful ice breaker. No pun intended. The group was comprised of 20 fabulous girls and I'm so glad to call them friends...here's a sneak peek of our day together... |
| We were incredibly lucky to work with Joe and Jihan Cerda as models...and, really, you'd think they did this professionally.... |
| Like always, I'm thrillllled to work with Carissa of JL Designs...not only is her work amazing, she's a beautiful soul who I'm proud to call my friend... |
| This look? This look is how Joe looks at Jihan all the time...it's so sweet! |
| Joe, some of the girls mentioned you were soft of the eyes...I kinda agree... ;) |
| The light was truly spectacular on Tuesday...it's was 72 degrees in Orange County with a slight breeze...pretty much perfect shooting weather! |
| I have to take a brief moment to just say THANK YOU to the ever fab Vivian of All Made Up...I lovelovelove her work and seeing her work her magic on Jihan was perfection! |
| Every workshop, I'm always blown away by how many Shootsacs make an appearance...I think all my girls make great models! :) |
| I'm extra thankful to Photographer's Edit for sponsoring the workshop lunch and giving everyone a 20% Discount on their first order using the jstar2010 code. They help me SO much in my business and I simply love the crew! |
| I was definitely swooning over the black calla lilly bouquet....perfection...thank you, Carissa! |
Jihan, you're beautiful. Truly, truly beautiful.
Vivian, I love your hair and makeup work! |
| And here's my favorite photo of the day...what a great group of photographers! This was the first workshop without any guys, so we all had to work hard to make JD feel welcome! ;) |
To my new friends...you make me swoon. After The Workshop, I seriously felt like the luckiest photographer. Ever. Spending the day with you and simply sharing ideas, swapping photo tips, and laughing the day away made for a spectacular memory. I know the future is bright for you and I can't wait to see how you shake up the industry! Stay Fabulous.... j*
