Drew is Leah’s other half, and he had laid claim on her company last Saturday! But he was kind enough to share his day with his lady with a group of shutternerds and myself at Michelle’s Secret Dawn Workshop. To repay his kindness, we put him to work modeling! Here’s a couple favorites…thanks Drew!

I’ve been in a serious slump. Weddings are going great and I see my work improving and evolving…but outside of work I have barely lifted my camera.

I’m not really sure why…I guess I haven’t been dedicating enough time to fostering inspiration. I barely have time to flip through my piles of magazines, let alone read a book. Most of that is backlogged wedding work fighting for all my time, the rest is the usual leeches of creativity and time-management (facebook, etc.)

So when it came time for Michelle’s Secret Dawn workshop in Worcester, I was so excited. I needed some time to spend thinking about what’s going wrong and how to fix it.

I will do a full review of the workshop once all the photos are done, but I’m going to post the model’s photos one by one as well.

This is Leah, she was our first model!

You can “like” Leah, aka Siren on Facebook here. You can “like” lil’ old me here.

Coming next…Kate, an amazing belly dancer!

Some quick edits I did this morning before the I dive into my final edits for my last wedding…the day before a double header work weekend with two weddings!

Here is Korey, tattoo artist and sister in law of Ashley, my bestie and make up artist. You find models everywhere if you look!

Can we all sit down for a minute and talk about the fact that Vickiann is someone’s grandmother? I don’t look this good now. Anyway now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, here’s some favorites from my shoot with my friend Hope’s (who I’ve photographed a lot) mother Vickiann.

More here.

Someone said that Ashley looked like a young Elizabeth Taylor, which brought about this one…I love it.
