playing photographer | practice makes perfect.

so i went into it a little bit on my business blog if you wanna see the professional side of this day but last saturday i got to do a one on one mentorship with one of my favorite local photographers benj haisch.  the guy produces images that blow your mind.  i mean the way he sets up shots in these epic locations to produce visually pleasing images is super unique & totally something i want to get better at.

i've decided i'll always try to do at least one workshop, conference or continuing education opportunity a year, so this year it was my mentorship with benj.  as part of the day, he does a photoshoot with YOU in front of the camera.  sooooo not my forte.  but it puts you on the spot & let's you experience being the person photographed which is a pretty unique experience for me.  and i was lucky enough to come out the other side with a few images i actually liked.  and where else would i share these images but here on my little ol' blog with you.

of course i spent hours figuring out what to wear, getting my hair cut & colored, etc. but we ended up outside in the pouring rain anyway where i just wore my hat, coat & gloves.  by the end of the shoot i looked like a drowned cat.  thanks for that, seattle.

if you wanna see some of the images i shot that day, check out my post on my business blog HERE.  it was a pretty awesome day & hopefully we all see another giant leap in my photography in the coming months as i practice the five million things i learned.  because seriously after this day, mind blown.
