This past September we did something new. We hosted a workshop at our friend’s farm in Lexington, Virginia!! Big Spring Farm is a magical place to us and we were excited to share it with 17 other photographers at our fall Workshop Experience! People flew into Richmond and DC and some drove for HOURS and HOURS to be there! It was an incredible event! The Farm NEVER disappoints. It’s just beautiful there!!
Our next workshop that’s happening in Richmond is sold out but we‘ll most definitely offer more in the future! This is one of our favorite aspects of the educational side of our business. We love the teaching and the instructional time with the attendees but we also LOVE the styled shoot! This shoot was a little more elaborate than normal simply because we had so much ROOM at Big Spring! The AMAZING Kaitlin Holland of The School of Styling planned and styled this shoot and it couldn’t have been more beautiful!!! I just loved her vision! And so did Style Me Pretty! They featured this shoot a few weeks ago and you can view it HERE!
