Eric - Can't wait for lunch. Oh, and check out my blog. It's a surprise.
Robin Dini - thanks for the reminder! hopefully the snow won't be too bad :)
Tania - I'm still a- go!! And I'm bringing brownies for the group (yummy).. and bags of hersey kisses :-) Umm. My name is Tania, and yes, I'm a choclaholic.
Stephanie - I wish I could make it tomorrow. :( Maybe the next one.
Jerome Braga - Can't make it tomorrow, but have fun!
Carrie - Good luck with your luncheon tomorrow. Hopefully I can make it to the next one but with only one month until my wedding (YIKES), I'll be at the gym and then running around doing wedding stuff. I'd rather be at your luncheon though! :)
Lesley - TGIF is right!
jake - WAHOOOO! Kid in a candy shop!

Just a quick winter shot that I stole while out shooting this weekend.

If I am ever at a shoot with you and randomly start shooting in the opposite direction from where you are…it is probably because I am just taking a moment out to “play” a little! Keeps me creative!

Happy Wednesday!

I am shooting a maternity session today and am looking forward to it very much!

I am also so pumped because I found a really cool old bike on the side of the road for free. Well, I am thinking it was for free because it was out there lonely in the cold and snow on the side of the road for well over a week and I drive by it every day. So today was the day that I claimed it! It is mine!!! I can’t wait to incorporate it into a shoot soon! We shall see who will be the lucky winner to have cool rusty old blue bike in their pics!

creativeimagecollections - jake...your un-invited to my lunch for that one! just kiddin'...besides...our wizards were going to do the double date thing right?!
shannon - although if you see some little kid walking by pretending hes riding a bicycle honking a fake little horn, wearing a belt with his name license plate on the back because he has no where else to put it now, trying to run fast enough to get that breeze through his hair like the good old days before someone stole his one and only bike, the one that took him 4 years of an empty stomach to save up enough lunch money to buy... then i would feel bad... but yeah, i doubt that will happen lol :) hahaha JK!
Lesley - I agree with everyone - I am trying to figure out what this is a picture of. It does look like a drawing. Very artistic. And yes a bike on the side of the road can be considered free. You are just helping to keep the environment free of debris.
shannon - whoa jake you tell her lol :)
jake - wheat/willows coming out of the snow? And I agree with the girls above... let's see some of these pictures you keep talking about... take, edit, post ("that was easy!")
shannon - That shot does look like a drawing. And I deff saw you shooting off into space a few times on our shoot lol. i love it! i do the same thing! im glad your no longer MIA and i have to agree with steph... i was hoping to see some new pics... maybe of some crazy lady in the snow :) lol sweet deal with the new bike, when i was little my mom used to pick stuff up off the side of the road all of the time! when i was younger i thought she was crazy... until she brought me home a sweet cd tower that i still have :) hehe happy hump day :)
Stephanie - I think the picture is neat and very artsy. It does look like a drawing. I hope the bike treats you well. Oh and for what it's worth, I was also worried since you didn't update yesterday. I was hoping for some new pictures. :) have fun at the maternity shoot!
Carrie - Jeepers Meg! You had me (possibly us) worried since we haven't 'heard' from you in a while. What's the story behind the winter shot? It looks more like a drawing than a picture. You must have done some kind of photoshop manipulations to it. Have fun at the Big Belly Shoot!

My friend Robin and I have been chit chatting about cool workshops and I mentioned how cool the Love Affair Workshop seemed. It is held by Kelly Moore, Davina Fear, Millie Holloman, and Lauren Clark. I really wanted to go and just couldn’t fit into my schedule this year. Next year it is definitely on my to-do-list. So in search of other cool, week long type photography workshops Robin found this really cool one that is open to women and men. (LOVE AFFAIR is girls only…sorry guys! ;o)

So the cool one is called Flourish…and I alone like the site let alone the thought of how the workshop is structured. Flourish I believe is not really focusing on wedding photography. But I love to do all sorts and I am sure there are wedding photogs out there like myself that are really looking to expand their horizons and venture out of the box and do a little something different every now and again to keep your creative juices flowing.

Okay…so if you happened to be on the hunt for some workshops…

here are the ones that I have considered attending and hope to someday!

Shootshops …by the Kaisers A.K.A. The Image Is Found… Need I say more!

Love Affair Workshop 

The Anti-Workshop… by the Boutwells

and this one is cool too …

Flourish… this looks pretty cool, based in Kentucky. The song on the website is playing over and over in my editing room as we speak! ;o)

jake - I told Diana about it last night. She just rolled her eyes and said; "yeah, sure." I see a yes in her responce... :D
creativeimagecollections - Jake...WHAT...VEGAS BABY!!! hehe! Never been actually but someday I will go to the WPPI convention out there and discover that there is a whole new planet out there called VEGAS!!!
Carrie - I never knew there was so much information on photography. For someone like me (who just enjoys taking pictures as a hobby), it's like discovering a whole new world. Thanks for all the wonderful information.
Robin Dini - Cool! I'm glad I got your gears moving for a blog :) I'm soo interested in the Flourish shop and they actually emailed me with the payment specifics. It's at $900 retainer fee and the remaining balance can be paid in installments up to October 14th. I just have to wait for a test result before I can make any long term plans in November...hmmmmm....ha ha :)
Lesley - I will have to check out the sites. Right now I a fighting the flu. Ugh!
Stephanie - The Love Affair Workshop looks really interesting. Anti-workshop - hey I'm always up for a trip to Vegas! Haha.
jake - The Anti-Workshop is in VEGAS! That can't be good!!!

Just a little teaser shot from Shan’s TTD session yesterday! This was the last shot Shan and I got. We froze are buts off for three solid hours and trampled through snow to get to all of our locations. The light was falling on us and we got this one just in time! It was probably the most fun shot we created. I simply told her to toss up her boquet and be like HURRAY!!!! We are done shooting and freezing our you-know-whatsee’s-off!

creativeimagecollections - eric...your on point...fisheye it was! you know I love my wide angles!!! Looking forward to seeing you at my lunch. Meg
Carrie - Nice shot Meg! You're such a tease - we can't wait to see more, more, more! I am one of those people who check your blog and get excited when you post new pictures.

Okay, I am soooo tired and I have to get up early for another packed day of shooting fun! I have a really cool engagement session to do with cool people by the beach! Yes the beach…even though it snowed yesterday. Anyhoo…

the TTD shoot today with Shan went sooo great and I love the images we got. We had so much fun from start to finish…and have a whole bunch of burrs attached to us to show it!

Can’t wait to share the pics with you and thanks again Shan for an awesome day of non stop shooting for 3 hours…YOU ROCKED!!!

Never once did she complain, and this girl layed in the snow…had snow thrown on her…was in 20 degree weather in a strapless gown…

BRAVE!!!

Have a great night!

Meg

PS…totally just got my 28mm 2.8 back from getting all set up for the season and have to send it back out unless anyone has any tips for getting rid of condensation inside the lens from snow…UGGGGHHHHHHHH! That is the only negative part of shooting on location. Your lenses are put through the mill.

Okay…updated again…so I just decided to order the 24mm 2.8 as my new wide angle…it is such a good lens for the price that until I can buy the 14 to 24 next year it will keep me in the loop with my wide angle shots. I can’t be without a lens and especially a wide angle,  sinceI am mainly a wide angle shooter.

B&H of Course!!!!!!!!

Can’t wait to use it!

creativeimagecollections - Yeah, my poor lens...I can't believe how bad I am with keeping them safe. If I don't drop them, I get them covered in melting snow. Go figure!
Carrie - WOW! Three hours of shooting in the frigid cold!At least the feeling is mutual - you can't wait to share the pictures and we can't wait to see them! You are a trooper Shannon and I bet freezing your tushy off was well worth it. Sorry to hear about your lens Meg :(
shannon - sorry i broke your lens :( once we see the pictures we will see if it was worth it i guess lol :) yeah im still kind of shocked that i lasted 3 hours in a dress laying in the snow! and the only reason i rocked so much was because i had such an awesome photographer rocking along with me!!! im not sure if i told you but THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU :) your amazing!!!
Stephanie - Sorry about the lens. I can't wait to see the pictures though! :D
Jake - PS... sorry about the lens... that's a shame
jake - Can't wait to see both of them!
