Photo•Topia Workshop scoop!

OK, so I'm going to back up a little here...

Last month Nikki and I had our second Photo•Topia Senior Workshop for professional photogs.  This one took place in Dallas at my studio.  We managed to get a few more "behind the scene" shots than the first time and I figured it was time to share (better late than never, right??).  

Although a couple of people couldn't make it  :(  The workshop went REALLY well and we had nothing but positive feedback.  Yea!  Here is what some of the attendees said:

"Love how the two of you are so different!  Two great approaches.. so happy to see what is possible!  Thank you SO much, L&N!"

"You both covered everything I needed!  Lighting, posing, lightroom/photoshop and marketing.  Loved the personal approach, learning new tricks of the trade & also new products, must haves!  Hope to attend more of these with both Leslie and Nikki!

"I really enjoyed the outdoor session with the senior models...I really enjoyed every part.  Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!  :)"

"Loved that the workshop was so personal and small, plus lots of shoot time with the models.  I really enjoyed meeting and talking to both of you- great ideas."

"Everything was great!  I enjoyed learning a lot about working with seniors.  All the info you presented was helpful."

"Hi Leslie!  Thanks again for all the info at phototopia! I really had a great time and have began implementing everything I learned with you and Nikki...  Thanks again for everything."

I want to thank those of you who came and tell you we had a great time!  

If you missed it and want to catch the next one... its looking like the end of June.  Nikki is Gi-normous with baby #3 and is due in just 4 weeks... so she'll need a little recovery time.  So most likely the next WS will be in San Antonio or Port Aransas.. beach anyone?

Here are some shots from P•T WS deux.
