Ok I'm back in Houston now, still a little tired though from the week but excited to share some more. I had sooo much fun up in Glen Rose making new friends, shooting great models, and learning all kinds of tricks and tips from awesome photographers!! Let me give you a quick breakdown of my trip.

The first night (sun) we had a meet and greet with everyone attending the workshop. I showed up just as Michael began taking burgers off the grill (aren't I the planner!) and met everyone. We hung out a little bit that night, got to know each other better, then went to bed to what would lead to 3 of the most exciting days I've had in a very long time!

Each day basically began with Amy, Fred, and Mike sharing their knowledge about photography and having us go out and implement what we just learned in the classroom. They were able to get amazing people to model for us and had just breath-taking locations for us to shoot. After the shoots we would all go out to dinner, share crazy stories, and just enjoy each other's company. By the end of the workshop it honestly felt like we were all a little family!! I made lots of new friends that I am certain I'll keep in contact with and I am very grateful for that.

The first day we worked with Michael's kids and a few seniors Fred convinced to come out for us. Though I wasn't able to work with the kids much, i did get a chance to hang out with the Seniors. Meet Kelsey, Mandy, & Brooke...three of the coolest high-schoolers I know. I had such a great time hanging out with them and taking photos. Check these out!

Mandy and Kelsey, so cute:





Brooke, you're too cool for school:







Unfortunately I wasn't able to spend as much time with Brooke and Kelsey as I did with Mandy. I had to let the other photographers shoot too but whatever, jk :) Mandy was wonderful though and she sure did know how to work it for the camera:







The light was just amazing:

I think I have one more post in me to share about the workshop. Check back to see the just gorgeous bridal session of Hannah (one of our previous models) and a few shots of everyone from the trip!!
