Hey everyone! I'm still on vacation in Phoenix, having a great time! But of course it isn't all a relaxing vacation....I've done 2 beautiful sessions and on Friday I'll get the chance to attend another photography workshop! (I know....I still have tons of pics to share from Dallas.) But I was finally able to confirm my reservation for the Val Westover "Capturing True Emotion" workshop. Here is some info on it from their website:
