On the 25th of March I hosted my second workshop. It was a fun two days with lots of photo-talk! The idea in general with my workshops are informal (but pretty) get togethers where I share and create a friendly environment to ask questions and learn. When I hosted my first workshop I decided to keep the groups small. By doing this I can spend time with every person and answer individual questions.
I absolutely loooove pretty things and styling things, just for a gorgeous picture makes me happy! So I use the workshop as an excuse to go all out :) While I was in the USA I bought myself a pair of real cowboy boots. I don’t know why, but I’ve always wanted some and that’s where my idea for the styling for this shoot started :) A vintage countryside look…
A huge, Big, MASSIVE thank you to all the people who helped me make this workshop a reality. Especially the girls at Leipzig floral design for providing me with exactly what I was looking for at such short notice! Melissa’s Coffee shop for the most amazing carrot cake in this world!! (If you haven’t had it yet, make sure you have some soon…but be warned. It’s additive!!) For Lizelle Lotter for superb images! For iaan for the awesome video footage. For Joleta Keane for gorgeous make-up and hair for the photo shoot. For Andrea and Daniel for being our super models for the shoot. For my mom, for giving me her house to use and for beautiful snacks! For Cognito Restaurant for a lovely dinner and for Nastasja Harvey, my right hand for helping with all the set up!
Put my name on the list for your Durban workshop!! Stunning
Dit lyk soos Jessica Claire! Baie mooi. Mos MAL oor enige iets Vintage. Wel gedaan, en dit na NY.
Ek kan nie die volgende workshop misloop nie, asseblief. Wil defenitief die Durban een ook bywoon as dit moontlik is!!
Oooh, the PRETTY! I wish I’d come just for the decor! But you probably covered the same stuff as before…right? :-)
That’s cool. Looks like a very informative workshop.
First couple of of shots are very nice where the objects are placed and shot.
Keep it up.
Wow, wens ek kon dit weer doen! Pragtig!
Lyk na hope pret!

The ones with all the ladies – paparazzi style – is just too funny… Noticed mainly…. only women?

Looked daunting for the models having all those cameras in their faces :)
Weereens dankie Christine vir ‘n wonderlike werkswinkel. Jy het soveel moeite gedoen met ALLES! Na die werkswinkel het my en Karen se koppe geraas! Info, info….. lag, pret en plesier.
