I realized at the beginning of this month that I have TWO workshops that I haven’t blogged!!! What?! I hosted a workshop in Richmond back in February and then one mini-posing workshop in Vegas during WPPI and I have YET to share those!! Crazy right?! How did I let that happen?! Well, we have been a little bit busy this spring. As soon as we got back from our trip out west, the house building process got really intense and demanded a lot of our time! After that, the Connect Retreat happened, wedding season began and then we moved into a new house and setup our lives in a new place! Crazy right? So in the midst of all of that, I forgot to blog a few major things! But no worries, it’s here today! Today I’m sharing the super sweet Valentines Shoot that was styled by the amazing Dana Fitzgerald and Janie Medley! It was hosted at the beautiful Manakin Mansion here in Richmond VA! Emily Hudspeth did a fabulous job with hair and makeup! And of course I can’t forget to thank Tori and her sweet husband Aaron for taking the day off and modeling for us!  And a HUGE thank you to the amazing sponsors that were awesome enough to offer the attendees some sweet giveaways! : Organic Bloom, Leather Craftsmen, Adorama, Kelly Moore Bags, PASS, H-B Photo and Album Exposure.

I also have to thank RUFFLED for featuring this shoot! So exciting! You can view their feature here:  http://ruffledblog.com/fuchsia-yellow-valentines-day/
