Oh wowowowowowow!!!! LOL! Sorry, just had to get that out of my system! Can I just say, that I had the most amazing time at this workshop! Just amazing!
I was a tad naughty, and rearranged all of Declan’s upcoming appointments around, so that I could still attend this fabulous workshop….. obsessed I hear you say? Yes I agree! But you have to understand, this had the line up of the century! Definitely not one to be missed! The wonderful Ainslie from Wild Spirit Photography, was the hostess with the mostess! The workshop was comprised of 3 FULL days of teaching, learning, and of course my favorite, socializing!
Day one was the amazing Nichole Van! For all you Aussies who may not be familiar with her work, I highly suggest you check her out! Nichole V I came home from day one on such a high. All you photographers out there, if you’ve ever been to one of her workshops, then I’m sure you’ll agree with me as to how wonderful she is! If you haven’t, and you ever get the chance, then I could not recommend it highly enough! She is a beautiful lady with a beautiful soul. There is nothing that remains hidden, she just gives herself 150%.
Seeing as Declan had travelled to sunny QLD to be near me at all times (the joys of being the “milk bar”). I was quick to volunteer him up as a baby model for the class! Can you imagine my excitement to see Nichole Van + 10 other amazing photographers in their own rights, all snapping away at my little dude? He was in his element of course!

Notice his fav little Pooh Bear blankie in the bottom! LOL You can see a finshed picture at Fiona Carson’s blog
Now for a couple of pictures i took on day 1!

This is Nichole V’s gorgeous daughter! Gorgeous? Heck yes!!!
Her studly young man! On a side note, could you imagine sitting for an hour, whilst 10 photographers fuss, and flitter around you? It’s enough to send shivers done my spine! But not these kids! They were so patient with us!

My favorite image! That perfect time of day, that only lasts for about 30mins where there is that beautiful warm haze that settles our souls!
Stay tuned for Days 2 & 3!
