Earlier this month, I traveled to Norfolk, Virginia to attend the Audrey Rose Workshop! I’ve been following Audrey on Instagram for several years and her workshop was #1 on my educational bucket list! I was super lucky to attend her workshop this time around, because it was her last one for awhile as she is preparing to welcome her first baby into the world this January!

Audrey is one of those people who is so easy to talk to. Before we met in person I already considered her an Instagram friend and I LOVE when Instagram friends become real-life friends! She was open to answering any questions about how to build and maintain a successful photography business and it was such a refreshing day of education and connection with other creatives!

I also loved how Audrey’s family supported the workshop. Her sweet Mom made all of the attendees a wonderful dinner and her husband even baked us cookies! Plus, we got alllll the corgi snuggles throughout the day from her two adorable pups Henry and Charlotte!

Here are some pictures (including my new headshot by Audrey!) from the workshop!

The day started with learning allll of the things (lighting, composition, posing– the list continues!) and getting alllll the corgi love!

Then we headed to the Hermitage Museum and Gardens for a styled shoot. The vendors were incredible and this shoot is what dreams are made of!

Making all the new photog friends!
