\"m-behind-the-scenes-pinkletoes-photographer-workshop-california-australia-sydney\"<\/a>Let me start by saying that Mendocino is no easy drive up from San Francisco. While the Google Maps says it takes 2.5 hrs or so, it’s more along the lines of 4+ hours considering all of those windy mountain roads. Thank goodness our amazing hostess Melody White Studios<\/a>\u00a0gave us plenty of warning about that and we were all equipped with sea sick bands and Dramamine ;-).<\/p>\n

Every inch of that windy road was totally worth it as my breath was completely taken away when we pulled up to the house that night just in time to catch the most incredible sunset over the Pacific. I mean it was something else and thank goodness we managed to see it that night because the sun pretty much disappeared into a very thick fog for the rest of our stay there (pics below).<\/p>\n

It was a small, intimate group for our little workshop, but that ultimately tied right into the cozy little theme we had going on in Mendocino. I mean, how lucky were we to get to do some serious workshop discussions in a hot tub overlooking the ocean??? (And yes, Miss E is probably going to kill me for posting that pic up there, but I can’t help it. It was just so cool!).<\/p>\n

As with all of the workshops, the first official photo session was the in-home lifestyle newborn demonstration. Loved meeting this family and check out “Crying is for Babies” below. Classic!!!<\/p>\n

That afternoon, we drove out of the fog to get to spend time with a SUPER DYNAMIC family (the sister of our hostess) feeding pics, playing in the sunshine, collecting chicken eggs, dancing to records, and playing music. It was perfection!<\/p>\n

Don’t miss their not do\u00a0American Gothic<\/a>\u00a0\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The next morning, we explored downtown Mendocino, which quite honestly, looks like something out of a fairytale book. The flowers…oh the flowers!! And the houses and storefronts are like little cottages. I really wish I had the chance to go back and explore and shop more because it was truly a beautiful place. Our maternity models were so stunning, don’t you think? And, they even stayed extra long so we could take them out on that amazing arch (it looks scary, but the walkway is actually quite wide and safe ;-). The fog actually worked in our favor as we were able to shoot much longer than full sunlight would have normally allowed.<\/p>\n

And now, back to the lovely home which welcomed us with open arms in Mendocino:<\/p>\n

\"mendocino-house-pinkle-toes-photography-workshops-california-texas-australia-sydney\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Magical house. Just magical and I am so thankful we got to experience its charms. Like I said\u00a0HERE,<\/a>\u00a0Mendocino is like no other place on earth. And maybe someday, you can stay in this cozy\u00a0house\u00a0yourself (HERE<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Thank you, Melody, for a BEAUTIFUL time in Mendocino and to the attendees for making this workshop absolutely amazing! Also, a very special thank you to Aderyn–those little touches you put onto everything you do just have a way of making things seem so magical and heartfelt. For a little eye-candy and continued look at life in Mendocino, you might want to start following her on Instagram<\/a> ;-><\/p>\n

And most importantly, check out Emily from Pure Light Photography and her beautiful images<\/a> from the Mendocino workshop!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
