This 2-day workshop was jam packed with incredible class time in the morning, followed by hands-on shooting, followed by more class time in the evening.  While the days were quite long (about 10-11 hours), they seemed to fly by soooo fast (actually, way too fast!).  I’m still amazed at how much I learned during this workshop …

Below are a few of my favorite images from the 2-day workshop – some with all natural light and some with OCL (off-camera lighting)!  And, not only did we have truly beautiful (and sweet) models to work with, the  weather was simply perfect!

It is truly my hope (and dream) to have Zach & Jody come to the Redding area (maybe next year??)  to share their mad photography skills and incredible business minds with our community!  Hope springs eternal!

xoxo,

Amy

P.S.  Jody – So grateful for our talk over lunch – for your inspiration and encouragement!  I’ll totally keep you posted …
