A few years back as I was planning one of my photography workshops I was trying to think of what I could do for a childrens session.  I did a brainstorm, like the cluster kind you use to do in 8th grade english class.   As my mind was reeling with ideas, the brainstorm lead me down a path of what I loved as a child….I landed on Rainbow Brite.  How could one not love Rainbow Brite?  I mean she was the original “I can do it all” girl…well in my book anyway.    I knew I needed to do a Rainbow Brite inspired shoot.  So I set out to find the perfect outfit, ETSY to the rescue.  I couldn’t believe I found nearly exactly what I was looking for.  A vintage Rainbow Brite printed getup.   I mean the gal who made this was genius…wanna know why?  Cause she made it out of bed sheets.  I mean come on! How much cooler can you get?!  SO I ordered the outfit and found the perfect little redhead, Emma to model for my workshop.  She was amazing.  So full of life, and so freaking sweet.

I had a blast with her, and so did the other women.

 

When we were shooting on Main Street in Park City, Utah….I snuck away to a little ice-cream shop.  I picked her up an ice-cream that would look adorable with the session.  You should have seen her eyes when I came back with it.  She was in heaven, and it made for adorable pictures too.

 

I love teaching workshops, it gives me a sense of purpose.  Opening my brain to help others just feels right.

I can’t wait till my Wish Retreat this summer.
