In just a few hours I’ll be driving up north for a portraiture workshop with Shelley Paulson, one of my favorite photographers! I had emailed Shelley at the end of last year to ask if she would be coming to CA anytime in the near future and was just THRILLED when she replied with information on her upcoming workshop in April, Portraiture From the Heart. I signed up right away, waited and waited,  and now it’s finally here!

I don’t remember when and how I discovered Shelley’s work, but I do remember spending late nights with my roommates (when we should have been studying), looking through pages and pages of her blog. We were all so moved by Shelley’s images and very impressed with the way she captured emotions so well.

What a privilege it is to learn from Shelley herself! I can’t wait to post pictures from the workshop and share everything I learn with you! : )

And a HUGE thanks in advance to my mom who is coming with me so I don’t have to drive alone! THANK YOU MOMMY! : )
