Share The Goodness | Marfa Texas | El Cosmico | Clayton Austin Workshop

so, in May i attended the most amazing photography workshop. it was hosted by Clayton Austin {of clayton austin love is a bird} & held in Marfa, TX at El Cosmico

i was hugely pregnant & it was hot, hot hot- but it was WAY to great of an opportunity to pass up.


it was fantastic & inspiring & eye opening & crazy fun & simply: awesome. 

besides having the opportunity to sleep in a tee pee (a REAL tee pee), explore a campground full of restored Airstream trailers, tool around the 106 degree desert & swing in hammocks- i also learned all about how clayton delivers the awesome to his clients. 

new ways to shoot, new ways to "see" my sessions, new ways to edit & new ways to blog. also new ways to "tell stories" with my pictures & how to stop from burning myself out.

clayton covered all the bases & we got hands on shooting practice with a styled shoot & 2 gorgeous {& crazy sweet} models. 

i'd love to show you every image from my trip, but that would be Marfa overload- so here are a few of my favorites!

New Hampshire Maternity Photographer | Maternity Session

you'll probably recognize this family- they've been in front of my camera several times & i was excited to capture them before they became a family of 4.

kelly beth started as my nanny, became a friend, went on to be a surrogate last year & has now welcomed her second child this past spring. to say i was stoked for her is an understatement! 

it might not look like it, but it was freeeezing the day of their session! poor big sister molly had to be wrapped up in a quilt between shots! but they braved the wind & we got what we came for :)


& family member #4? he's coming up soon...

New Hampshire Maternity Photographer | Maternity Session

as promised, it's time to play catch up! this past winter was cold & miserable, but as soon as spring hit i couldn't wait to get out & start shooting.

thankfully, Amanda & Ryan were expecting a baby boy in May & April was the perfect time to capture them before they became a family of 3.

we hit up downtown Nashua, NH & it made a perfect backdrop for our urban maternity session.


the fact that they're a gorgeous & easy going couple just made my "job" all that more awesome. & their baby boy? he's adorable, you'll see ;)
