Inspiration & learning

Last month I took a four week photography workshop, run by the amazing Sheye Rosemeyer and Fran Mackenzie.  Through the workshop I’ve been fortunate enough to meet some wonderful people, three of which I met for dinner last night.  We had a fantastic night getting to know each other better, and I hope I can call these talented, inspiration and beautiful ladies my friends.  I learned so much during the workshop, which motivated me to start this blog in the first place.  The following photos are from a photoshoot I was assigned to do, illustrating the words Quirky, Feminine, Glamor, Glitter.  Thank you so much to you all for following my blog and supporting me so far.  I can’t wait to learn more!

    You are amazing Mel! I’m loving following your blog and look for each update in my reader.

    I’m happy to offer some additional models, if you need them. They are pretty cute!

    Or maybe I need to get you to do some product shoots for me.

    These are truly beautiful but then how could you take a bad photo of some a gorgeous girl xx
