Another spring day, and another London engagement session with gorgeous blossom. I can’t help but just LOVE this time of year. I had such a lovely time with Whitney & Chester, I wish every day was full of pretty blossom and laughter!
I’ve shot a few sessions with beautiful blossom already this spring, and I couldn’t love them more. Blossom really makes everything better. It started raining during Karen & Michael’s London engagement session, but with all those gorgeous flowers around, it didn’t really matter at all in the end. It was definitely a win for the prettiness, and for this lovely couple. Welcome, spring!
After wall to wall rain, it seemed like a little miracle when, for the couple of hours we spent together with Katie & Alphonse for their London engagement session, the sun came to play, only to retreat back behind the rainclouds the minute we were done. It was such a pleasure to spend time with Katie & Alphonse, in fact, I think what actually happens is that these two generate their own sunshine, so joyous was their energy together. I hope you’ll have the most beautiful wedding back in California! x
This year’s mnoo school workshop took place last month, and it was so much fun. My dear friend Ed Peers returned as guest speaker, and this year we decided that he would play a bigger role and talk a bit more widely about the craft side of things, so that we’d have a better balance between business and photography. I think all the attendees agreed that was definitely a good decision. I also invited a surprise guest speaker, the amazing Adam Alex, who talked about visual language and added something really valuable into the proceedings.
I feel like mnoo school is developing into something pretty special, and every time we do it it runs smoother and feels more balanced. I’m really happy about my decision to only offer one workshop a year, I think that helps make the time together even more precious. Some of this year’s attendees, Rachel, Corinna, Tim, Genevieve, and Vicki, have written blog posts about their experience.
A huge thank you to the class of 2013 of mnoo schoolers, your spirit was incredible and I miss each and every one of you! Thank you to our kick ass couple, Emma & Pete, for all the giggles during our shoot. I’d also like to thank our generous sponsors, Kelly Moore, Bob Books, and Beloved Collective, who donated to the goodie bags. And lastly, thank you once more to Craven House for starting to feel like a home away from home and providing the perfect space for intimate learning.
Last week I headed to the other end of the country, as photographer Zenna Barry had invited me to come and give my introductory seminar on the Beloved interaction technique to photographers in the North West. It was all worth the epic road trip, as we had such a lovely group of people all excited about what Beloved could add to their work and business. Our real life couple, Samantha & Simon, were brilliant during the demonstration, it’s never an easy prospect to be in front of a camera, never mind 24 other people!
Every time I talk about Beloved I can feel the ripples of excitement and those little moments of realisation going off in the audience. It really is an absolute joy to be able to spread something that I know will make every photographer feel more excited and fulfilled with their work. Next stop for me is the Beloved Collective Festival (now part of the larger Adventure Always conference), which I’m overseeing as the new Director of the Beloved Collective (fancy, right?). There are so many exciting things me and my team are working on for the future of the Beloved Collective, I just can’t wait to see all the work we’ve put in starting to properly blossom.
