    zoe’s workshop- part 3

    You can find part 1 and part 2 here. Our last family (which again, completely styled and conceptualized by the fab Zoe herself) was just gorgeous and it was so obvious how much they enjoyed spending time together. The location was to die for (I really, really wish we had areas around here that looked like this) and the light amazing. I wish I had taken a picture of all the fabulous new photografriends I made in our workshop, but none of us thought of it until we were all bedraggled, sweaty, frizzy, exhausted messes (and then no one wanted a picture!)

    This is the last installment of the Zoe workshop photos, I’m sad to say. But I learned a lot and it was a great experience. So glad I got to do it!

    Favorite!

    zoe’s workshop- part 2

    You can check out yesterday’s post here, but again, the whole shoot was styled and conceptualized by the amazing Zoe, with fantastic child models that couldn’t have been more amazing to photograph. Let me just say that these kids were still smiling genuine smiles after 2hrs and 9 photographers working with them. Sweetest kids, mom was a doll and their dad/husband serves in the Marines. So a big thank you to all of them for his service!

    I loved this spot in the orchard and waited and waited for the kids to be done with the photographers they were with to get them over here.

    the funniest thing, possibly ever.

    My great photografriend Kate and I shot a wedding last year where we didn’t get served dinner. Or any food for that matter. Yeah, that’s a 10 hour day with nothing to eat while working non stop for 8 of those 10 hours. Shaking hands on the dance floor, dizziness, basically not a good scene. We had to literally beg the maitre’d for some food- anything at all. We got 2 rolls. Stale rolls that we could’ve killed someone with on impact. (It’s now in the bsquared contract that we have to be fed during a wedding or else we have to leave for up to 1.5hrs to get food elsewhere. Not making that mistake again.) So after we recovered after that wedding, the roll for dinner has become an ongoing joke. I try to sneak it in at every wedding we shoot together somewhere.

    At Kristen & Raul’s wedding this summer it all came full circle. They fed us really well and Kristen is the coolest. While Kate was over getting her plate meticulously prepared, Kristen told one of the servers to go up to her and take her plate, telling her she was the help and therefore not authorized to eat the food that was for the guests. And handed her a plate with a roll. Best. reaction. EVER.

    I cannot look at these pictures without laughing. And I’m celebrating my “new fake birthday” today (for those of you who don’t know my birthday is actually 9/11 but after 10 years it’s still not getting any better, so I decided to move it to a new day) so the laughs are extra special! Kate & I are shooting a wedding tomorrow for another fabulous bride and groom. Can’t wait to figure out where the roll is going to make it’s appearance- it’s like where’s waldo but with a roll.
