February Audrey Rose Workshop Recap

norfolk-virginia-wedding-photography-workshop-photo_3399.jpgIt was actually almost exactly a year ago that I announced that I was going to start offering workshops. I had never been so nervous about anything I’ve done in my business. What if no one signs up? Are people going to want to learn from me? And now here we are doing a recap of my third sold out workshop! What?? 

I’m so blessed to have such wonderful people attend these workshops. Each and every attendee has a heart of gold and is very eager to learn! By the end of the night, they all feel like dear friends! And they all leave with a whole new set of friends within the group! After 13 hours, they leave my home with full hearts and very full notebooks! And this time we had attendees from all over! Boston, Florida and Arizona! So crazy! No pressure, right??

These workshops may be long and exhausting, but they bring me so much joy! Being able to pour into so many people and businesses is just priceless. I truly look forward to seeing what’s to come for each of these attendees! So here’s a recap of this weekend’s workshop! It was a blast! Behind the scenes pictures courtesy of my dear friend, Corrin

And my mom made a home cooked meal for everyone for dinner! Yummmm!!! This meal was exactly what we all needed to get us through the end of the day! We wrapped up at 10:00! Ah! norfolk-virginia-wedding-photography-workshop-photo_3398.jpgA few phone pics from the end of the night!  Branden’s late night snack of popcorn and cookies is always a hit!

Phew! Going through this post makes me feel exhausted all over again! What a long and awesome day! There isn’t currently a date set for the next workshop, but make sure you’re on the email list to be the first to know when it is set!
