Smart Phone Workshop at the Studio in Middleburg, VA

Last weekend my good friend Rachel Clarke, of Rachel May Photography, came out and hosted an amazing workshop on Smart Phone Photography.

If Tricia and I could host a workshop at my house every weekend, we would! Tricia and I had SO much fun connecting with other creatives talking about what works for us (and what doesn't!), going over workflows, contracting, etc. Over the past year, education has become such a critical part of our business model!

The more education and tools there are available to our industry the better we will all become!

I am so excited and extremely nervous!!
