Spring in Colorado is such a tease. One day it snows the next day it is almost 70 degrees.  Even after 12 years living out here, I am still not use to it.  It’s just reminds me that you can never put away your jackets out here. Makes me want to move back to Florida some times. Oh how I miss the beach, palm trees and believe it or not…humidity. Doesn’t help that we got a free subscription to some tropical magazine with these beautiful tropical locations and there is snow on the ground out here. Here’s a shot of our spring snow.  Have a great week.

 

    For the past couple of years I have been part of Mile High Photographers(MHP). The group of photographers started getting together in peoples living rooms to meet about once a month. What started off small now has over 400 members here in Colorado. Kammi and I have made so many friends by being part of this amazing group of photographers. Three people have dedicated their time to get this group off the ground and organized. Jessica, Andrew and Shannon have put their heart and soul into this. Since we have benefited from all these meetings, I decided to give some of my time to help organize an event. I wanted to do a shooting workshop for the group. Since spring weather in Colorado is never predictable I wanted to do a studio shooting workshop. We rented our North Denver Photographers studio and brought in 4 amazing photographers to teach different lighting methods. We had models, stylists, hair and makeup come to help. We had four shooting stations for the photographers to rotate to every hour. Erin Cady taught high key with our fashion models. Karie Mclain taught with constant light, video light for Boudoir.  Mark Hayes taught a two light set up with our senior models. Tanja taught with her huge 4×6 softbox and reflector set up for our children models. I didn’t get to do alot of shooting since I was helping out, but I did get some shots that I wanted to share. A huge thanks to everyone that help make this event happen and to the MHP members that came to the workshop. If you are a Colorado Photographer and would like to join MHP, leave a comment with your email address and I will send you an invite.
