<![CDATA[This past weekend, I redeemed myself (see 2016 year in review post about not being able to fly to Utah for last year's conference) and made it to Photo Native.  It was wonderful!  I learned lots of things to improve my photography and business skills and feel rejuvenated to start this year off right.  One of the highlights was participating in a styled shoot led by the amazing @rachelsolomonphoto.  She is a fine art film photographer here in Arizona.  While I am not shooting film currently (I actually did shoot families on film for years and while I love the look, it's just not practical for me), I think I captured the vibe pretty well digitally.
The styling of this shoot was AMAZING!  Like, seriously soooo beautiful.  @amberreverie outdid herself with the styling.  It was a little tricky with 10 of us shooting but I got some fun shots nonetheless.  The models were so perfect and patient and it was a great experience.  Also, I really need a loft studio somewhere.  Like seriously, I need to make it happen.  My basement studio room just doesn't compare to this upstairs room with snow reflective light pouring in.  Dreamy!



These were the ceilings in the loft.  So cool!Planning, Styling & Flowers @amberreverie | Host Photographer @rachelsolomonphoto | Location @theloftstudiolehi | Gown @alexandragrecco | Silk Ribbons @froufrouchic | Hair & Makeup @hairandmakeupbysteph | Cake @pippa_cakery | Calligraphy & Invitations @kelseymaliecalligraphy | Ring @taylorcustomrings | Real Couple Models @kaylajohnson_22 and @ekkko_ | @photonative #iamaphotonative #photonative2017]]>
