At the beginning of the month I had the fantastic opportunity to fly down to Texas to have a little one on one mentoring session with the completely sweet & wonderful Jonette of Magnolia Flair Photography. We covered so much ground… we planned a shoot, scouted locations, talked about marketing, packaging (she has some adorable packaging in the works), post production, equipment… it was just a whole day and a half of all things photography! It is always fun to talk shop but, I have to say, it was so invigorating & refreshing to spend time with someone that is just starting out and still so excited by it all. Thank you so much Jonette for inviting me down and allowing me to play in your world for a bit. I had a blast :)
Here are some images from our shoot we did. A fellow photographer/friend of Jonette’s, Misty, was sweet enough to bring her adorable children and mom along for our fun little shoot ;)
If anyone is interested in one of these one on ones, just give me a holler so we can talk. I would love to meet up with you!
Here is Jonette doing what she does best. She is FANTASTIC with kids…
