The Desert in Spring :: Flowerwild Workshop, Palm Springs

I think learning is important, and I love learning.  I'll never stop exploring or asking questions.  There are so many interesting things in the world.  So many people to meet and exchange ideas with.  

I also love being a grownup.  I love having the whole world as my oyster, and I love the internet and how it can transport us to another place and time and in an instant.  Thanks to the internet I learned about this workshop.  And I'm glad I did and that I went.  Learning can be expensive, but I'm convinced that the money invested saves you mistakes that cost money (and time and reputation) in the future.  

Kate is a creative genius, her eye is developed and I just liked watching her work.  I think it's always fascinating how different people go about things in different ways and the result is so beautiful in both scenarios.  I liked meeting Jose and looking through his camera lens.  He lives in a magical world full of beauty because that's how he sees life.  You can live there too if you decide to.  

Enjoy the photos and the beautiful work of all my sweet workshop friends.  Friends are always my favorite take-away.

The Biltmore Inspiration Shoot :: On Magnolia Rouge

I'm thrilled to have the Biltmore project featured on Magnolia Rouge today!  Kate started her blog five years ago and it has grown to be an internationally recognized hot spot for inspiration in the wedding world.  It's amazing what you can accomplish when you just keep moving forward each day.  People overestimate what they can do in one day and underestimate what they can do in a lifetime.  Onward friends!

Check out the full feature here and scroll down for more images from this shoot on our blog!
