I've spent the last few years trying to learn everything I can about becoming a better photographer and business owner. One of my most consistent and rewarding sources of inspiration has been reading Jasmine Star's blog. She only started a couple years before me but in that time has built an incredible brand and proven to the photography industry that she's here to stay. So, when the opportunity to attend her workshop in Orange County came up, I couldn't say no. Last week I had the pleasure, along with twenty other photographers, of learning from her, shooting with her, and getting to ask Jasmine a million questions.
Jasmine, thank you for being so open, encouraging and honest with us about your journey. I am so excited for this year and those to come as I grow as a photographer. You provide daily inspiration to so many photographers online and the opportunity to work with you last week was truly fantastic. And thanks to JD as well - you two are quite the dream team :)
Here are a few of my shots from our photo shoot. I mostly sat back and listened but I came away with a few fun shots as well. Thanks to our amazing models, Carlie & Gabriel, for being ultra fabulous as well as our florist for the shoot, Jaclyn from Heavenly Blooms - such beautiful work!
Action shot!
Our whole group!
Erika, what I love is that I see YOUR work in these photos even though some of it may have been directed by the workshop....your brand is really shining through them. You are an inspiration too:)
