The Secret Workshop, that is. Not that the workshop itself is a secret - after all, it has a website and blog :-). It's called "secret" because it's a workshop that promises to share the best "secrets" for portrait photography. And it did so. In two very jam-packed, delightful days.
Here are Cheryl and Amy. They are fabulous photographers and friends. Patti Schmidt (not pictured), whom I quickly dubbed the Baby Whisperer, was also on hand to share with us her magic. Let's just call them the dream team.

Aren't they beautiful?
So, what's all the paparazzi about? Well, for me, it was about watching these consummate pros in action. Seeing/studying how they do what they do. Trying to observe their "vision". And then snapping some fun pictures of my own along the way (reaping the benefits of their set-up, preparation, & enthusiasm).
Here is the lovely Catherine Clay (who was also helping at the workshop) and her children...
I'll post some more workshop images tomorrow.
That looks like so much fun! How do you find seminars like that? I would love to go to one! Can't wait to see more pictures of the babies.
ReplyDeleteOh. MY. GEEZ!!! I wanna do that!! So much fun :-D
ReplyDeleteCatherine-
ReplyDeleteThese kinds of workshops are going on all the time, all over the place. I usually hear of them on photographers' blogs.
Great shots. Wasn't it the best workshop EVER?! Cheryl & her team are amazing. Great pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful opportunity...lovely pictures :)
ReplyDeleteHoly buckets, that's a lot of cameras! Fun pics! But can you share the SECRETS?????? ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat an opportunity...I think I need to find myself a workshop like that. Looks like tons of fun.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great time and learned tons!
What an amazing experience that must have been Susan! Your photos turned out wonderful.
ReplyDeletePatti-I don't do workshops- Schmidt was there.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I am officially sick to my stomach.
I don't think there is anyone better.
You are really blessed, Susan!!!
Crazy fun!
ReplyDeleteI wanna do a workshop like that! Of course, I really need someone to really tell me how to work my camera!
ReplyDeleteBut all those women. Where did your subjects know to look??
Oh my! This was a great get-away! I am so happy for you and the baby pics below are so dreamy and soft yet sharp. So, how much chocolate do we send you to spill the beans, I mean secrets!!! That must have been totally fun and inspiring. I can't wait to hear more.
ReplyDeleteThis completely sounds like a blast and what a great learning experience.
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you captured them in this photojournalistic way. Pretty cool.

I just need to know how to find a good one near me. How do you find them? Or maybe I should move to California near you : ).
