This past weekend I lead a family photography shootout at the reset conference that was in Louisville Kentucky this year. I have attended the conference since the second year and have taught since the 3rd (if memory serves me right). We had the most gorgeous family who so graciously drove from mid Kentucky to Louisville to be our family models! Thank you so much Davis family for lending us your sweet faces for that evening. And thank you to all my attendee’s for coming to my shootout! Take a look at some of my favorites from the night!
Take a look at this gorgeous momma!! I love doing a headshot for Mom’s at the end of sessions. Us momma’s never get to be in front of the camera. Katie Davis runs Kat’s Eye Photography in Danville Kentucky. Thank you so much again to her and her family for this magical night! Muah!

Last week I held a family shootout workshop in the suburbs of Detroit. We had such a fabulous time! I wanted to share some of the highlights from the family portion of workshop. The next day we did a newborn portion which I will share in another post.

I am now recruiting 2019 hosts for family/newborn mini workshop shootouts!
If you haven’t attended one of my mini workshop shootouts in the past, let me tell you a little about them!
What is a shootout?
A shootout is a fully styled session that you get to shoot to build your portfolio. They are a great learning tool on how to capture those natural, emotive, and connection moments. Behind the scenes photos are encouraged for you to reference back to. Q+A about posing/settings throughout.
Want to host?
Requirements to host:
*help recruit a family model (or newborn)
*Post in your local groups about the shootout (with my sign up link)
*for newborn shootout – have a studio available for the session duraiton
*you will get to attend the shootout for free!

I was honored to be asked by the Central Illinois Professional Photographers group to teach a family photography workshop in the Bloomington/Normal area. This past Tuesday I made my way down there! The group is ran by Holly Birch Smith, Kristin Darling, and Emily Donohoe. 3 amazing ladies that I originally met at the Reset conference a few years back. I can’t say enough good things about them and the entire group I got to work with on Tuesday. Also, the group, along with the family we were photographing, were all SUCH troopers for dealing with the 90% humidity (or so it felt). Needless to say we were all dripping sweat by the end! Take a peek at some of the highlights from that night. I should add a few behind the scenes as well once I get those!

Such a great shootout this weekend at Elawa Farm. Thank you to all the amazingly talented photographers who joined me. These shootouts are so much fun for me and a great way to bring the photography community together.
