My mind is still swimming with all the beauty, sharing, learning, support and love shared this weekend (not to mention the occasional bottle of wine!)I barely have the words to express what my heart feels today. Me Ra & Brian - Thank you a thousand times for all your efforts and energy planning this workshop. Your generosity of spirit and limitless energy are an inspiring mix. I could not have dreamed a better combination of women, photographers and host with the most (that would be you Garrett!). The grace and love offered by Rick and Lesley on Monday was profound and has changed me and my perspective on photography. Tanya, Laura, Matt, Heather, thank you all for sharing your experiences, perspectives and families with us thoughout the weekend! You were an integral part of the success!! Each one of you women that I met this past weekend have influenced me greatly. I miss each one of you and truly believe that we willbe friends for a long time to come. I have just one question for you all...where are we meeting next week? ;) HEY Sonoma Girls!

I must admit that after our day on Saturday I was sad to not be returning for more. I have to say that I was motivated to take shots at the school fun run on Sunday (wasn't so easy with 2 moms chasing 5 kids on a 4K). I so enjoyed meeting you all and learning and laughing with you as well. Lots of talent, ambition and love in the room. Me Ra, you have a wonderful gift of empowering women and helping them tell their story. I look forward to seeing more of your work as you all grow. Hey Ladies!

Not only did I get to share my business and ideas with an amazing group of women but my family was photographed by all of you! Michelle was sweet to send some of the images she shot of me and my son Mason and they were amazing. I LOVE that shot she took of Me Ra and Brian that's above. Simply spectacular. It truly captures the essence of the both of them and the time you shared together. Thank you for letting me be a part of it all.
