When I decided to make the trip to Arizona for the United photography conference, I had no idea what was in store for me. I was excited to meet and connect with other photographers and to listen to accomplished and well respected photographers speak. While all of those things happened, I’m telling you guys- I was unprepared. I was unprepared for the kindness, the outpouring of inspiration, and the incredible amount of knowledge I gained in the few days I spent among the best of the best! On top of all of that, I made some amazing friendships that I am so thankful for- I can’t wait to return next year! A lot of us said on the last day that we felt like a kid leaving camp, and it is so totally true! I miss my “camp friends” already, but I am already seeing such great gifts come out of the connections we made there!
I really wanted to share some of the great styled shoots I was able to take part in, so I decided to share each styled shoot in it’s own post (and that way I can re-live one of the best trips ever with you)!
This senior styled shoot was led by Hope Taylor, who is a serious rock-star! I have actually tried to time my family visits back to Virginia to match her workshop schedule but sadly it hasn’t ever worked out, so I was beyond thrilled to get a chance to work with her in Arizona! It was so fun to see the girls interact with Hope- she’s so fun, and I love all her energy. Here’s a little glimpse into her awesome shoot!
