Time to finish up the workshop blog posts.  Whew- these are a lot of work, lol.  With this post, I have edited and shared over 100 images from my workshop.  That may sound like quite a bit (and it IS) but… with a group of eleven models and a team of 9 stylists…. the individual shots, group shots, couple shots,  make-up shots, hair shots, wardrobe shots and a dozen different “looks”  start to add up fast.  I really had a wonderful time working with everyone at my Fashion in Nature workshop and am pretty eager about possibly doing more of them in the future. 

Requests have been coming to me via emails and on Facebook and it is difficult to pass up such great opportunities.  My time is sort of limited due to client sessions; however, I am going to try and fit in  more  workshops this year.  Yay! Fun   It is possible that I may be traveling to the Dallas and Chicago areas in the near future (July -Sept)  for upcoming 1 day workshops.  I am also in the process of putting another one together for mid-summer here in SE Michigan as well.  More info will follow during the next few weeks.  If you would like to be put on the list for any of these cities, please send me a note at jenlynnalder@aol.com or on Facebook.  Space is limited.  

Let me just start by saying that day 2 of  my workshop was a little bit steamy.  I had a request to incorporate classy Boudoir elements into this workshop… but I wanted to put a fun twist on it so I decided to have the images taken outdoors (in nature). It was a lot of fun and we were all thankful that the dry weather held up.  There are three models pictured below:  Lauren, Becky and Amy.  Amy is modeling swimwear because she will not be 18 for a few more months and I did not feel it was appropriate for her to model the lingerie stuff yet.  They all did an amazing job and were fabulous to work with.  Big thanks goes out to the hair and make-up team, too!  Chelsey, Sheila, Amy, Kim and Alison you all do FABULOUS work.  We also did a very quick, and informal fitness session with the couple pictured yesterday (Kelsey and Mike).   I tossed a handful of shots from our time together at the end of this post. 

The lovely Lauren:

This fallen tree was pretty high up and surrounded by prickers/thorn bushes.  Thank goodness we had Kevin there to help the models up.

I like both of these…. beautiful, huh?

I loved the vine area… and thanks to the crew for humoring me, it was quite a hike to find them!!

The next model to be featured is Becky Kay. She is absolutely beautiful, full of spunk and lots of  fun. Have a look:

She has such a great smile and laugh…

Fun with the vines again….

Amy really does an incredible job modeling- she does make-up and dabbles with photography, too!  She did two looks….

Isn’t she fabulous?

WE LOVED the dandies…. and she was such a great sport about it. 

And here are a handful of shots from our quick fitness shoot with Kelsey and Mike….

Oh, and  I just want to mention that the photographers at this workshop produced some AMAZING images.  You may want to check out their sites or facebook pages for additional images:  Kevin Jones, Tressie Davis, Aimee Eisaman,  Renee Bynum and  LiVa Photography.   Some of them have already started adding the images to their web sites and blogs… but remember that the workshop gave us TONS of photo taking opportunities and the post processing takes a great deal of time. 

 Thanks a ton for stopping by today !!!   Stay tuned for some awesome upcoming Senior Portrait Sessions …..  you won’t want to miss them.  Also, if you are a female looking to book a creative, outdoor boudoir shoot like the ones shown above, send me a note to book one today!
