Time has finally allowed me to catch up on doing a write up of my past workshops that I held last summer and early fall. A Mid Summer Styling Workshop turned out to be very relaxing and chilled, which I was truly thankful for. How lucky once again for mother nature to turn on the rainclouds on me while I had made the decision to start setting up outside. Just when I was going to bring everything inside, the rain stopped ~ phew! <\/p>\n
As the day got on, it was nice to get to know everyone and have the chance to step back, observe and take in what everyone else was doing. I was touched to know that so many talented photographers signed up. Perhaps that\u2019s why I was able to take a moment and watch as things unfolded …… Each of these ladies had a creative eye, most had a camera and even if they didn\u2019t, they used their smart phone and boy did they work it! It was such an honour to know that all the styling that I set up was something that they were inspired by. To give people the opportunity to style their own vignettes and photograph as they saw it, was exactly what I wanted to see. The most rewarding thing I have come to realize is at the end of the day, these ladies have taken away some of what I had to share and then they created their own beautifully, styled photographs. I have inspired people with my styling and photography but they have helped me see things in a whole new light and I am so thankful for that! <\/p>\n
Thank you to these amazing ladies for signing up for my Mid Summer Styling Workshop: <\/p>\n
