Cash: Day 2

Introducing little baby Cash. He is just so precious and was WIDE awake, which I totally love! I think newborn hospital pictures are one of my favorite shoots to do. Mom and dad are on a happiness high and everyone is just so excited. I am so in love with the newborn stage. I mean, what is better then the smell of a newborn baby? For me, nothing! I crave newborns, so it's a good thing I have lots of friends having babies :) I wish I could have snuggled him all day. What a little love. Congratulations Tyson and Cheryl!! He is perfect!

Vern and Melinda

While at the workshop, Jasmine arranged for us to have the ever fabulous couple Vern and Melinda to take photos of. I could have taken pictures of them all day. Jasmine really wanted us to get out of our comfort zone while shooting, so all of these photos were shot at a 2.0 f-stop or lower. A lot of them are 1.8 and 1.4...we got

CUR-A-ZEE!! Vern-you are a rock star for coming out in that heat with your full suit. Thank you both!

Jasmine Star and the OC

To say my experience at the Jasmine Star workshop was amazing would be an understatement. Meeting Jasmine, JD (her husband), the photographers in the workshop, and all the new knowledge I gained from everyone is priceless!! Jasmine and everyone in the workshop was just off the charts nice and so willing to share anything they could to help. I now have friends all over the US and in Canada. I could absolutely move to Orange County. SO beautiful. What a fabulous 3 days! Thank you Jasmine!! I am so happy to be a J* fan and friend.

The morning of the workshop. Here is Jasmine, fabulous as always! She is talking to Lacy who is also crazy fabulous and I had such a blast with her. I wish I had a picture of her but I don't :(

When we got to the workshop, Jasmine had a personalized note for everyone and it was so sweet.
