...to me that you can get a group of 9 women together (me + my mom + 7 photographers from all over the country) and spend three days together and get stuff like this:
and still leave happy and looking like this:
Thank you to all of these beautiful and talented women who drove and flew out here to spend this time perfecting their craft. (Also wanted to point out that the b/w shot in the doorway above was spotted by a couple of the attendees...I would totally have missed that one if it wasn't for them!) Thanks to Scott (an incredible photog--also took the first image of us above ;-) and his dear wife for letting us invade their home for our newborn session demonstration. (Oh, Amy...I'll be blogging about your family session soon, too ;-). And thanks to Mee Maw for keeping us all well fed!
Spent today sleeping and recovering from our adventures, but this week, I need to gear up for the next workshops. We have just three openings left for the March 8-10 workshop and 3 for the March 29-31...and folks, that's it for 2012. That's most likely it for 2013, as well for that matter. If you were contemplating an intensive Pinkle Toes professional photographer workshop like this one, this is quite possibly your last chance. Don't say I didn't warn you ;-). Oh, and don't forget, your last opportunity to purchase a Pinkle Toes 4 Photographers membership is THE END OF THIS MONTH. Now that's a biggie.
Okay, back to smoochin' on my family (boy, I missed them this week). Take care and Austinites...enjoy the rain we're about to have!
The 1st 1/4 of the day.
....what a room full of women and an adorable baby sounds like? Actually, a lot like a baby shower. If I had a dollar for every "oooooohh" and "awwwwww" this little man solicited from his watchful crowd, well, let's just say I'd be sitting pretty.
Thankful to have been introduced to yet another amazing group of photographer ladies today at our workshop and I'm very much looking forward to spending tomorrow shooting for and with them!

Look at these ladies!!! Wowza!!!! Something else that we've all had a lot of fun with at the Pinkle Toes Photography Workshops is location scouting in various places around Austin. The added bonus is that our photogs get to serve as our "models" during those outings. It's such a great experience to be behind the camera for a change and getting a couple of headshots isn't half bad either ;-) Every now and then, they've been able to convince me to stand in:
Oh dear. Not sure what was so funny, but hey, props to Shona for getting me in my natural goofy state.

P.S. When I look at everyone together like this, I start to get pretty nostalgic. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know each and every one of these talented women. Some how, some way, we've got to figure out a class reunion one day...

We were blessed with perfect weather, sparkling personalities, wonderful food, and beautiful times. Thanks girls for yet another amazing weekend! [More info on the Pinkle Toes professional photography workshops]
