I just returned from a fabulous week in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico with Ms. Phoebe Joy. Boy, was it hard to leave the clear aqua ocean, warm sandy beaches, and deliciously fresh seafood. I ate an abundance of octopus tacos and cerviche. But I’m glad to be back and I’m finally posting some photos from the San Luis Obispo photography workshop I attended last month. Day one, we shot a themed engagement session, complete with croquet, tandem bikes, sports cars, and a truck load of oranges on the beach. Themed engagement sessions = pure brilliance. I wish I thought of a theme for my own engagement session!

Onto the photos:

This week, I had the privilege to attend a workshop hosted by Mike Larson and his team down in beautiful San Luis Obispo, California. They are a warm and wonderful bunch of people who welcomed fifteen strangers into their studio and poured out their hearts and knowledge to us. I feel inspired, yet overwhelmed, challenged and affirmed, all at once. It’s an exciting place to be.

If you’re a photographer looking for a fresh perspective for your business, I highly recommend Mike’s workshop. If you’re a newbie, like me, his workshop is one of the wisest investments you’ll make into your business. I’m looking forward to establishing a strong foundation in my business–and in my life–using the principles Mike taught us.

Here’s a teaser from the workshop. More to come soon!
