Workshop fun!

As we prepared for our workshops, I was both excited and terrified. I was excited to meet/see everyone and also terrified that I would bore people to death. Kory and I talked a lot about what people need to know to take a photo (how the heck did we ever learn about aperture??). We talked about how to develop a style. We talked about talking. We even talked in-depth about cold water vs. room-temp water. True story.

After a couple weeks of workshop prep, we finally met all of our workshop attendees this weekend and it was GREAT! I simply adored making new friends and being able to catch-up with old friends. I hope everyone learned something from us :)

A big thanks to all of our workshop attendees for taking time out of your busy schedules to meet up with us! We look forward to seeing your work in the future.

And a special thanks to our models :: Michael, Jenna, Clarke, Kourtney, and the Auch family!

Oh, and I need to give a shout out to Dave from Milestones and Katie from Katie Lewis Photography for their expertise during our advanced class! Thanks friends!

I love tulips! Especially when they are orange!

The very important snack station. Also beautified by Brooke :)

At the end of the beginner class we set up a Fun Booth. I was sorta a Fun Booth hog :)

If you are interested in attending a workshop, we are hosting another beginner workshop on June 12. More info can be found here :: Fresh Start

The colorful Auch family

Oh, how we love the Auch family :) Every single time we meet up with Andrea and Justin and their kiddos Ashtyn and Kenai, we just CANNOT stop snapping pics of them! Ashtyn is so funny and just loves to play (with everything except dirt) and little Kenai is really sweet and calm and collected :)

We met up with them at Turtle River State Park -- where they like to go camping -- for some photo fun. I love how colorful all these shots are ::

The Auch Family

After we shot a newborn session with the Auchs, we went back to their house a couple weeks later to get some family photos. It sorta turned into the Ashtyn session, if only because she is just too cute and Kory and I couldn't stop taking photos of her. :)

See, isn't she cute?

I like this photo of Justin laughing at Ashtyn ::

My good friends Andrea and Justin had a beautiful baby girl last weekend and I met up with them the morning after she was born to get some new-newborn snaps.
