Hi Everyone! I’m so excited to say I’m in California right now. The weather here is so beautiful. Warm with a nice breeze and just a little humid. Perfect for me. Today I had the absolute honor of attending Jasmine Star’s second workshop. It would be impossible to put into words all that I’ve learned today. Not just about photography but about myself as well. I also met some really wonderful people.
Jasmine is an absolute powerhouse and has a heart of gold which is completely apparent from the moment you meet her. In my mind, she’s like the Oprah of the photography world. Go J*!
After a lot of talk, laughing and learning this morning we all had lunch and then went out for a little photoshoot. Tiffany and Mark are some of Jasmine’s clients who came out to “model” for us. Jasmine challenged us to create images that reflect our brand and it was such a great experience.
Vivian Tran styled the shoot and as Jasmine would say, I’m kinda
smitten with her :)
Here are a couple of my images from today:
I also absolutely adored this bouquet! I’m not sure what the link to the website is so I’ll add it on later when Jasmine sends out the info.

I only have my laptop and just realized I don’t have my logo on it and a few other things I need to process these photos. I will get to the rest of them when I get home tomorrow (and I will add them to my laptop so I can be ready for next time :))

Hey Cristi! Had the pleasure of perusing your blog and you are the bomb girlfriend! Beautiful images! Awesome! Fun to meet you at the J* workshop. Keep in touch! I'm adding you to my "reader" (which I knew nothing about but now I do) and I'll figure out why you can't add me. :) I'll let you know!
