Me Ra Koh Workshop - Washington DC

Hello all! Ok I’m sorry its taken me so long to put these pictures up – but I’ve been working endlessly trying to make sure they look as good as possible as well as keeping up with household/life stuff J So I guess a little intro to what I did, why and what the end result is and what it means for me. As many of you know Charlie and I got really lucky for our wedding and had Me Ra and her husband Brian shoot our wedding photos for us. It was an amazing experience and they are truly extraordinary people. One of their main focuses is to help women gain confidence in themselves and discover what their photographs show.

This last weekend I had the privilege of finally going to one of their workshops in Washington DC, spend two days with them and 19 other women learning, growing and stretching as an individual and a photographer. Saturday we spent all morning working on camera stuff/reviewing settings and such. That afternoon we had mothers and their babies come in and model for us. I got to work with Becky and her baby Clara – adorable. Steph was so kind to let me borrow her camera with her super shnazzy lens that I used to get some of these shots:

I also got to take some shots of first time mom Paula and her beautiful baby girl Jane.

And this is Stephen. J

The next day we got to work with families, everyone was so nice and helped each other out, I got to use other lenses, cameras and learn from everyone around me. Here are some of my family shots.

I honestly don’t have any words for the way the weekend changed my life. I knew that I loved taking pictures and capturing different moments in my and others’ lives, but I had no idea how the pictures were impacting me. I’m looking forward to taking more pictures and seeing where this new path leads me.

I hope you guys like the pictures! Let me know what you think!
