The Seven Workshop New Orleans & Pictage Shoot...Sneak Peak

New Orleans.
So many things come to mind when I think of New Orleans; it's such a place of depth, history, and beauty. The colors are rich, the people friendly, and the food...spicy! It's a different world from Southern California. Pictage held their annual Partner Conference in New Orleans. I had the chance to spend some time teaching, doing some rad shoots, and playing with the photographers that were in town. It. Was. FUN. While I was there for the Pictage conference I was able to do a Seven Workshop. With my workshop attendees we spent the afternoon in the French Quarter and played with our cameras. The next day with a group of 25 photographers we got to do another shoot in the heart of New Orleans for Pictage Partner Con. The shoots rocked, and I must to give my thanks to: Pictage and Pixel2Canvas for supporting the shoots; Camille Russler from Ever After who sent some ridiculous gowns, shoes, and accessories; Brandi Howard from Kelly Moore Photography who styled the shoot; Tiffani, Amber, Syndey, Lindsey and Jessica for being rockstar models; Stormie Robinson for the unreal hair, and Katie Malone from Pixie Cosmetics did an awesome job on make-up.

For a few years now I've wanted to shoot a black wedding gown, and I finally got my chance...and what better place to shoot a black wedding gown than in New Orleans! Here's some images from the shoots:















Here's a few from my attendees. They had some great shots!

I love Amber looking over her tattooed shoulder. The greens are sublime. The session was an unbelievable experience for me. Thank you to Mike, the models, stylists and boutique. I felt really blessed to be a part.

Every sport has a Bruce Lee, Michael Jordan, or Pele as does wedding photography, Mike Colon!

What an amazing session. I love the images with the glittering cross hanging--sharp. Can't wait to receive my workshop DVD I ordered. This is so inspiring and it's also priceless fun.
