New Workshop Homework!!

I am currently taking a photography workshop led by the AMAZING Meg Bitton. I found her through some of my photography friends and wanted to see what all the buzz was about. And man… do I KNOW what all the buzz is about. In just a few days… she had me not only THINKING outside of the box.. but SEEING outside of the box.

All of these images were ones that I shot BEFORE the workshop…however with her amazing talent to guide and lead… we re-edited them to create Detail oriented images that I just love! I will be sharing more images as the workshop progresses… I’m having a blast!

   

Dana - I love the way you have reedited these images. There is now something even more spectacular about them (but that snake one made my skin crawl!!!)
Beautiful beautiful work.

Jessica - Oh, Rachel, I simply ADORE these!!!!!!!!!!!! Each and every one of them…

Kitties Kitties… Everywhere!

Well, its spring.. and that means lots of unwanted kittens! These 5 came in last week. Unfortunately, since I am bottle-raising 3 others… these have to find homes elsewhere! If you are interested please let me know!!

This was one of the first multiple subject shoots for me and let me tell you they made me work!! I think next time I may recruit an assistant!
