Happy Valentine's Day!

So, the name of this blog is pretty unconventional but it's witty and fun and I like it!  Bitchless Bride Blog is known for communicating real bridal etiquitte to newly engaged couples with their 20 years of wedding planning experience.  They featured our Valentine's day photo shoot!

Koalas!

The Koalas, and little penguins (while I'll post more about later:-) were my main two reasons for wanting to go to Australia:-)  I LOVE these cute furry animals.  They aren't actually "bears" as many people mistakenly call them.  The close of shots of them are at one of the nature parks we went to where you can get a close look at them and even pet them!  When they are born they are the size of a pea in the mother's pouch, just like a kangaroo.  After only about 36 days they much bigger in the pouch, and start crawling out and hanging on the mom's back.  In the wild, they climb WAY up in the trees and plant themselves in the branches, the last 2 pictures are in the wild.  They were really far up in the tree, the second one is actually of a mom and joey SO cute, I literally could have watched them for hours.  I wish I could have brought one home with me!

Professional Photographer Magazine Feature!

Last August, my friend Andi and I hosted a workshop in Tampa to help photographers and aspiring photographers understand the steps to creating a successful photography business.  Our profession is amazing, but most people who are just starting or want to get into the industry have no idea what it actually takes to do what we do professionally and make a living doing it!  So, we launched the Elevate Workshop and it was amazing!  We will probably do another one this summer!  Professional Photographer Magazine recognized our efforts to help elevate our market in Tampa by doing a little article in the magazine in February, so that is pretty awesome!  It's always an honor when the largest professional photographer association recognizes what we do.
