Typically Tuesdays and Thursdays are my blog days…but I was teaching a workshop all day Monday, so there was no Tuesday post this week!! This was the LAST workshop of the year and it was an amazing way to end 2016!! 12 attendees from 8 different states, a caramel apple topping bar, amazing swag bags, […]
Amanda’s senior session was such a stunner! We had a cloudy, grey day that made us think we’d get rained on at any moment…but we never did!! And the light ended up being perfect the ENTIRE shoot!! You may recognize Amanda from Senior Rep Introduction post or the June Workshop Styled Shoot! When I was on […]
