ULTRAMAGEDDON // JEFF NEWSOM WORKSHOP

My mid-mid-life crisis happened a few weeks ago. I wrote about my epic transition/awakening in this previous post. Shortly after I wrote that, I decided to make some erratic and necessary changes. The first change: I updated my equipment to Nikon. I decided to sell off all my Canon gizmos and turn into a nikon girl (see video for awesomeness). Second change: I booked myself into a workshop… within 4 days of it happening…in LA. I hitched along with my bestie, Stephanie Koo, and headed down to San Luis Obispo to meet this awesome photographer:

 

—————————–JEFF NEWSOM—————————–

 

best.decision.ever. Thanks Jeff. I had a great time hanging out in your wonderful city and learning from you.

 

I learned a bunch of new things, meet some sweet folks, and refreshed my memory on a few things I forgot along the way… like how to be awesome. Check out my stills from the very short trip.

 

JOSIE + JOEL

MINI WISEMAN IS 5 MONTHS OLD | PERSONAL

He’s just so darn cute. Period.

Mike: not impressed            Huxley: Thoroughly impressed.

Also, I’ve been dying to shoot at this upcoming location.. but with just having a baby, -400 temps, and just getting over the worst case of food poisoning ever, I never had a chance…until today. This location is YES. 100% YES. Have 2 sessions booked already for this location. Thank you Red Deer for your sweet locations.

Mike makes a good stand in.

ALTA BOUTIQUE | DOWNTOWN RED DEER

Best shop in town for clothes. Alta Boutique on Ross. Why? Because they make my manfriend look hot.

Here is Mike’s post about the awesomeness that exudes from this store.

These frames represent the new direction I will be exploring for my editorial work.


CATTLEYA CHIC

Here are  a few stills for CattleyaCHIC’s mother’s day arrangements which will be feature in CANADIAN FLORIST. I have to say… these are gorgeous.
