I had the opportunity to go down to Monterey last week to meet up with an old friend for a one on one mentoring session. It was not only a breath taking location, we had two of the sweetest little models in front of our camera that we could ask for (seriously, loved this family) :) And to top it off, Wee Stitchery sent us custom made and adorable wardrobe for the kids to model for us (the details of the little dress killed me… polka dot peek-a-boo sleeves ‘n all)…
After we finished our day, we decided to take a little road trip down the coast… the most beautiful coast.
I spent the weekend in Denver. Sara hosted the most fabulous workshop. Many of the ladies already knew each other so it was this fun, relaxed vibe- conversation and laughs flowing all day. We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day and two of my favorite models (you may remember these two from my Breckinridge shoot here). Yes, a beautiful day with beautiful people :)

While I was in California I got the chance to spend a morning with Letty doing a mentoring session. I love these one on one days where we just get to talk about exactly where we are at, what we are feeling & what we need out of our photography journey. We spent about half of our time on a photo session. Loreta (of Earthtone Photography) brought her darling little girls for us to spend some time with (seriously- could they be any cuter??)… Such a great morning :)

I have been over at The Define School the last few weeks teaching my Inspired Child workshop. It has been such a fantastic experience. It has introduced me to people from all over the world… people that are so eager and so enthusiastic and so gracious. The class has pushed me to be better, it’s made me uncomfortable in my tasks and forced me to figure out how to make it comfortable. The class has taught me the value in what I do and the importance of sharing it with amazing people. I am so thankful that Jessica asked me to be a part. The vision she has for this school and the experience she is offering is invaluable (you can see her cute self talking about it here)…

I am sad that my current class is coming to an end and can’t wait to do another (we do have a wait list if you are interested as this class filled right away). Thank you to all of my current students. You have pushed me to be the photographer I want to be. This last week one of the assignments was an inspired photo shoot. I did the homework with the class and wanted to share it here with you all as well…
