Heading Home

Whew. I’m writing this from my iPhone, so if it looks a little wonkey that’s the reason why. The photos are from the iPhone too. Right now I’m exhausted, but so inspired and invigorated. That’s the result of spending a week with other great friends and photographers, and to see the results of our work together.

This week I’ve been in Seattle as a special guest of Jim and Katarina Garner - who are rated and known as one of the World’s Top Ten Photographers. Jim is the eye behind the camera and Katarina runs the business. It is really an honor to be in their home town in their home/studio and beach house (which is absolutely AMAZING btw.) My good friend Dawn Shields arranged this week for herself and her close friends.

To be honest, I already knew that Jim is charismatic and a blast to be around, but I had no idea just how much! This man has more energy than anyone I know. We’d be up after midnight and he’s still coming up with amazing solutions to share with all of us. All this and the fact that he’s so humble about his success makes him even more impressive.

Even though it was a trip of a lifetime - especially as a photographer - I’m excited to be heading home so I can implement his techniques into my business. And of course, to celebrate my anniversarry!
