something else has taken over Wedding Wednesday! I was going to post something for WW but I just couldn’t wait to announce the “Sugar Shoot Workshop”!!!!! This is an amazing opportunity for photographers that is coming up in MARCH!! I’m so excited I could dance right here in my office! (it doesn’t help that I’ve been nibbling on the candy and have a TON of sugar in my system! I’m a little high-strung today! ) So today I am officially announcing my sugary, sweet workshop that will be happening in exactly 2 months! I have the most incredible people helping me with this! I can’t thank THE SWEET SPOT enough for this
amazing opportunity! This CANDY THEMED workshop has been an evolving idea for a while now and I can’t wait to see it take shape. Between our gorgeous model, the dreamsicle color scheme and the details that we’re getting together, this is going to be one beautiful shoot!
