workshops

*exhale*

Last week we wrapped up a successful, completely sold out Learnfest workshop that I taught along with 3 other fabulous photographers who are now my very good friends.... Lena Hyde, Tamara Lackey, and Laura Novak. After each day, the 4 of us would always comment on how GREAT this group of 60 women and men were! The Learnfest Workshop was held at the *breathtaking* (and that is no exaggeration!!) Chateau Elan. Im sure the other participants would agree with me... I missed my super plush hotel bed when I left! I didn't get a chance to use the spa facilities (teaching can wipe you out!), but I heard from the participants that they were top notch!

Words can't describe how incredibly happy I was to meet each and every one of you all that came. The extra treat was seeing some familiar faces that came to my personal Chicago workshops... Julie, Heather, Veronica, Rachel Capil, Vanessa....and dang it I know I am forgetting one other person!

When we returned, I found out from our admin that our waiting list for this past Learnfest is huge! We decided to do just one more this year...September 14 -17. Go to www.thelearnfest.com to add yourself to the waiting list. I believe registration will open to the waiting list first. This past Learnfest sold out in 4 hours!

Here are some images to share...

I took this during one of the classes when we were able to gain access to a room to practice with very low light...

Lastly.... when we first arrived it as cold. (..well cold for Atlanta!) When we were outside, the southerners said it was snow that I was seeing. It sort of looked like it....but since I am from Chicago...I am going to have to say that wasn't real snow! haha! More like a fake snow. I kept looking up in the sky to see if Lena was playing a prank on me and was hiding in the tree's with a box of white confetti.
