Still Digesting......
I'm still trying to wrap my brain around everything I learned at the Susan Stripling seminar held at my studio earlier this week. I will post photos soon. Until then I wanted to thank all the people who helped make the workshop such a wonderful experience. Ann, of Splash Models thank you for sending over such gorgeous folks for us to photograph. Patrice at Bloommade several fantastic bouquets for us, and Isha Foss came by and taught my Mom and I how to make bouquets and floral arrangements (which was a heavenly experience. I love flowers and Isha is a GREAT teacher). Maya of Tiffany's by Maya loaned us some fabulous dresses (Thank you! Thank you!) and force of nature Kim Wadsworth (the most stylish person I know) loaned us some fabulous veils, which we used to great effect! Also, many thanks to Melissa and Ben, for being such great models. Everyone is still talking about your darling shoes, Melissa!
I also want to thank the participants at the Workshop. What a GREAT group. Not only did we enjoy one another's company, I am certain I made some friends for life. Everyone was so nice and kind and funny. Thank you!
Lastly, if you have the chance to attend a Susan Stripling workshop, you won't regret it. It was a life changing experience, as corny as that sounds. Thank you so much Susan!!!!

Sister, you rock. Thank you so much for bringing Susan to us. I postponed my Thailand trip and drove eight hours to get to this thing and I don't regret it. It was meant to be. You are the most wonderful, fabulous host and I can't wait for you to do the flowers for my wedding now (what a bonus!).
My life HAS been changed and I am a corndog oh well.
Love,
Angela
Hi Eleise!! Thanks so much for hosting Susan's workshop!! It was an amazing experience in so many ways. I feel it hurdled me through a creative block I was having, and opened my eyes to great new shooting techniques. I learned SOOO much, and it's all just starting to digest. We had such a great group of photographers at the workshop, and I really enjoyed their company during the event and at the dinners.
Thanks again for putting this together! You rock!!

Angela! Thanks so much dearest sister o' mine. I love you dearly.
Tom! You're the best. Thanks for the yummy dinner Wednesday. I hope you are feeling better : )
You really did a fantastic job of opening up your house up and making everyone feel at home. Thank you a ton for hosting Susan, and I know the two of us learned a ton of new techniques that will be implemented in months to come...

Dave, you are such a sweetie. It was a great time and a great experience. Yes, I am looking forward to the 08 season. I will definitely be doing some exciting new stuff : )
Sooooooo looking forward to your post on the workshop...with photos!! At the time I noticed your blog post announcing it, I had already booked a lighting seminar out in LA which cost about the same. While it was a great experience, deep down, I would have rather been able to go to Susan's. Grrrrr. :-)
Looks like everyone had an absolutely awesome and beneficial time! Looking forward to seeing the art you create as a result!!!
Matthew, I wish you had been there. It was a fantastic experience.
