Kayla's Bridals

Kayla just celebrated her 2-year anniversary! And two years after her wedding day, she decided to put her dress on again for a bridal session. How fun!!! I loved the idea! Who says we have to box up our dresses and put them away forever after our wedding day is over! You go girl! She is absolutedly beautiful, and I love her dress! Happy Anniversary Kayla!

Tara Staton Workshop

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending a Tara Staton Photography Workshop. Tara opened up her home to 8 of us who all gathered to soak up her wisdom. It was my first workshop, so I didn't really know what to expect. I was very impressed with her! She just moved to Sequim a year ago and has already built up quite the business there. Not surprising with her stunning images. Tara had 2 - 3 hours of classroom time each day for us, and the rest of our time was spent out on photoshoots with kids, brides and teens. She arranged 5 on-location photoshoots for us over a 3-day period. What impressed me the most, is that she didn't set up poses for all of us to take turns shooting..... She said we wouldn't learn to do it ourselves that way. Instead, she had 2 to 3 photographers to one model and made us go off and set our own shots up. Then, she'd walk around and answer questions, give us tips, and demonstrate different ways to use the lighting we had. It was fun to hang with other photographers, and I found that I was among a talented group of ladies! Here are some of the images I took during the workshop:
