My last class sold out in under an hour so if you would like to be put on the notification list just email me (shannon@shannonsewell.com) or info@thedefineschool.com.
I really can’t say enough good things about The Define School. They have created an amazing learning opportunity where there are classes for every interest, a ton of one on one attention and a plethora of valuable information. I would love to have you join me for the three weeks (there will be weekly lessons and homework assignments and we connect every day in our private Facebook group).

I am so excited that I got to work with this company… boys clothes are hard to find and Wes & Willy has nailed everything that is boy. There are styles for your prep, your little rocker, your jock and everything in between. They use amazing craftsmanship (not only will they withstand the wear of your little man, but his little brothers too). It was the perfect day of great clothes, amazing locations & through-n-through boys (nothin’ better)… You can see this feature (and many more gorgeous ones in the latest issue of Dreamer).
