Jenna and David.

The day Jenna and David got married was really hot...and then a storm blew in threatening to rain on their ceremony and party.  However, the rain held off and instead gave us gorgeous stormy skies.  After the ceremony we went to the top of the mountain, one of Jenna and David's favorite places.  I remember the mom's being so thrilled that we made the journey and hiked through the wildflowers and grasses.  It really was worth it.  What a wonderful day!!

priceless. LIFE.

Marky and Dan.

I had so much fun at Marky and Dan's wedding.  I can't believe that it's already their 2 year anniversary!  It's amazing how time flies.  Meeting them was just the beginning of a wonderful friendship with their family.  Now three weddings (Ticey and Brandy's) later I love them even more.  It's been such a gift to know them.  I remember both of them being up for anything on their wedding day.  We laughed so much and had such a great time in downtown Logan.  What great memories!

true. LOVE.

Here's What You've Been Waiting For!!

Almost all of the details.

 

*First of all...thank you to Lauren for the majority of these pictures, who became the designated photographer as we were all running around the island, taking notes, and gabbing.

Where?  The workshop is on Bald Head Island in North Carolina!  and you won't want to leave....

You will want to fly into the Wilmington (ILM) airport (trust on this one...I've tried every way to see if I can get a cheaper ticket to Raleigh and then drive to Wilmington...totally not worth it because it's a few hours drive after you get off the plane!)  The drive from Wilmington Airport is about 20 minutes to Bald Head Island.  From there you'll get on a ferry and it will take you out to the island. 

What's it like?  The moment you step off the ferry the pace slows down and the stress starts to melt away...

When you start driving a golf cart around (no cars allowed on the island!) you are never going to want to leave.  It won't be swimsuit weather...we're thinking fun evenings around the fire (maybe some yummy s'mores)  or sitting on the porch wrapped in a blanket drinking hot chocolate and gabbing with the girls.  The sound of the waves hitting the beach, the bugs singing in the night, the rainforest feel of the pathways through the island, sand between your toes, wind in your hair on a crisp morning...all the things to look forward to.  I can't wait to go back!

What is the workshop going to be like?  This is going to be packed full of great photography inspiration and business knowledge and at the same time a wonderful vacation....

Instead of leaving the workshop feeling like you need a vacation you'll leave feeling invigorated, excited, rejuvenated and excited about all the personalized help that you've gotten.  It's going to be something completely different!

Who is it for?  This workshop is exclusively for women... 

So many have been talking about what women photographers need and we decided it was time to provide it.  Women feel pulled in so many different directions and at the same time want to be creative this is going to answer how to make that happen just for you.  So you won't want to miss this!

When is it?  The dates of the workshop are February 17-22...

This is the first workshop to be all inclusive and to be five days long.  You will be amazed at the price because all you'll have to pay for is your airline ticket and your transportation to the island.  We take care of everything else! No worries for you.  You'll fly in on the 17th and fly out on the 22nd.  You will definitely NOT want to miss the finale night on the 21st!!

Where will we be staying?  The homes we'll be staying in are million dollar homes...

All of the homes all look out onto the ocean and have their own private beaches. They are so comfortable with a place to relax for everyone.

I have to sign up where do I do it?  We'll be opening up registration as soon as our website is ready...

Believe me we are antsy, too! lol.  THat's when we'll announce the price and everything that's included.  We can't wait.  If you want to be informed as soon as registration opens just send us an email at millie@millieholloman.com.

Tell me what you think or what you believe would make this workshop even better in the comments!

Get ready, girls...it's going to be incredible!!

 

Who am I doing this workshop with?  Here are their websites.  Check them out!   Kelly Moore.  Millie Holloman. Lauren Clark.

And here are the girls:

Keith and Keri.

I was sooo excited when Utah Bride and Groom wrote and asked if they could use images from Keri and Keith's wedding last November.  Their wedding day was a rainy, windy day but as you can see...it just didn't matter.  It was wonderful, fun, and nothing could dampen Keri and Keith's spirits.  All the bright colors and happiness of the day were so fun to be around.

I LOVE everything that Keri said when Utah Bride and Groom interviewed her.  You have to get the magazine just read her answers!  I've loved Keith and Keri from the moment I met them and I'm so thrilled that their wedding has been featured in one of my favorite wedding magazines!  You can find it at Barnes and Noble, grocery stores on the Wastach front, and at the airport. 

Side story:  A friend of my parents found it at the airport and went home to New Jersey and told my parents that my pictures were in a magazine.  I got a call from my mom right away saying, "Davina Jane, (not really my middle name but what my mom calls me anyway. lol) what are you thinking not calling and telling us this great news?  Send us a bunch of magazines as soon as possible!" lol.

 

blessed. LIFE.

Some more clues!

A few more little hints.

For those of you who are guessing about who and where and what we're doing...here are a few more pictures.

One of the many cool things about this opportunity is that we'll be staying in million dollar homes, sipping hot chocolate in adirondack chairs wrapped in big blankets, going to a location that I'd like to vacation at every year, eating delicious food, hanging out with super cool women, and getting our lives rescued from one of our favorite things...photography.  This is going to be such a personalized event that you will be amazed.  We've already been working on the project for 2 months now and have spent so much time talking about how to do something for women in photography that has never been done.  You're going to love it.  How awesome is that?!  I'm so excited!!

 

Also, some really cool tidbits about each of these awesome photographers that I'm going to do this project with!  They are really awesome girls and great photographers.

*One of them has an amazing eye for fashion and the perfect way to make every person look gorgeous.  She knows that everyone has a perfectly beautiful angle and she can find yours and anyone else's.

*One of them has incredible business sense and innovative ideas on how to get more clients through the door and booking you.

*One of them has incredible photo shop skills that amaze me and teach me.  She knows color and how to make pretty much any image look really beautiful.

*One of the girls is pregnant and will have a sweet baby by the time this project happens.

*One of them is single with a thriving business and employees working for her.

*One of them is married with no kids but crazy busy and trying figuring out how to make time for her husband.

*And then there's me...with four kids and married to an incredible man and trying to juggle it all.

So...the cool thing is that we all have these awesome strengths, we all are a different places in our lives (which means there's an approach for everyone) and we're just all a lot of fun. lol.

So do you know who we all are?

Can you guess some of the other things we'll be doing?

What would be the ultimate event for women in photography for you if you could have it?

What's your fave photography event you've ever been to?

Tell us in the comments.  We want to hear your thoughts...

exciting. LIFE.
