I recently had the opportunity to work with an amazing photographer, Shirley Matz, who travelled down to Eugene for {the essentials} 1-on-1 Workshop with me.  I have been fortunate enough to do a few of these intimate workshops with fellow photographers and absolutely love the experience.  It is such a personal environment and allows us to really connect with one another and focus 100% on key areas within their business.

During {the essentials}, we focus a lot of time and attention on photo shoots- posing, interaction, locations, etc.  Two sessions are scheduled throughout the day, both of us have the opportunity to photograph the senior models, taking turns taking the lead and directing them.  The reason we chose to offer two shoots is because there is always a significant difference in ownership and confidence from the workshop attendee from the first shoot to the second.  Seeing the growth in such a short amount of time is absolutely awesome!  I will be writing more about my time with Shirley and {the essentials}, later this week!  :)

One of the models from the day was the sweet and beautiful, Monique!  You may recognize her, as she has graced our blog before.  :)  Monique is such an incredible young woman, working with her is such a treat and she seriously lights up our images with this unexplainable sparkle!  To put is simply, she rocked the shoot!  I hope you enjoy this preview of images from her session!  Much love!
