Sometimes the stars align perfectly, and you meet your soul mate. Well, in this particular case, I met a class full! In November I attended the Jasmine Star Workshop- which has changed my life forever. The workshop was fabulous, but what amazed me most were the friendships that I walked away with. I never imagined that I would meet so many kindred spirits.
It all started over social networking…yes facebook! Where would we be without it. Anyway, we started a group that included everyone from the workshop. We got to know each other before meeting which was wonderful and arranged a get together to shoot some headshots for eachother. (Yes even photographers need their photos taken!) We met in Laguna Beach for portraits and deep dish pizza! The perfect afternoon. My boyfriend Mike and I even had our portraits taken…(poor guy- no pressure or anything!) The following are some portraits I shot of the amazing photographers I had the pleasure of meeting. Check out their websites too!
This first shot shows just how excited we are about the workshop! Woo Hoo!
Michelle Lehmann Ocampo is a girl after my own heart- she loves Anthropologie! Can’t you tell by her super cute outfit!
The Paparazzi!
Anda Marie is such a beautiful person. She has such a lively spirit and fun way!
Keyonna Renea was so stylish and had a contagious smile. Oh yeah- she rocked out her portraits with style:)
Julie Spencer Massie was delightful. She is not only funny, but also spreads her enthusiasm of photography.
Gladys Gem is such an awesome person! She is such a tiny person- but has a huge heart:) She was recently engaged to Chris, affectioantely called Mr Gem, so we took some engagement shots. These two are just the sweetest couple- they had a running countdown till there wedding next year. I am so happy for them both and hope to catch up with them again very soon!
I can’t even express in words how much these people mean to me. It it the best feeling in the world to have such an amazing support group and cheerleading squad. I know we will all keep in touch. Not pictured but also dear to me: Radelle Adam Jenson , Anouschka and Ray from Holland, Cassandra and Alicia Lauren (who I am shooting a destination wedding with in Newport this June:) So psyched!
