Waaaay back in July, I posted about Jasmine Star, one of the most popular wedding photographers in the biz, doing a 5-day online workshop live in August (big shoutout to CreativeLive). As you can tell from the post, I may have been a wee bit excited.
Why? Well, I’d been a long-time reader of Jasmine’s blog and felt some type of secret connection with her. Here was a woman, not much older than myself, who left Law School at a highly renowned school and decided to become a photographer after getting married. I feel like we have much in common, though I never went (or dropped out for that matter) of Law School. But I still know how she fills, and so admire that she followed her dreams. And look, four years later she went from knowing very little about photography to developing into one of the top ten wedding photographers out there. Quite the accomplishment I’d say!
Anyway, back to the story. I knew watching the workshop live wouldn’t be feasible. I do have a full-time, highly unrelated job that I couldn’t skip out on. Bills need to be paid! And even though part of the workshop was over the weekend, it just so happened to be the weekend that R and I moved.
So, I pre-ordered the recordings.
And the week after I watched them. Best.decision.ever. Okay, maybe not ever. But, in some ways yes—ever. The first week of September, I watched all of those recordings during the evening. R can vouch. I spent waaaay to much time on the couch ignoring him and instead focusing my attention on Jasmine and her every word.
I took notes, I took lots and lots of notes. And I plan to share some of the biggest things I learned with all of you. And believe me, everything I learned seemed big. So, over the next week or two, I will share some of what I learned.
It will likely take more than one post so be prepared!
