Last weekend on Saturday in September 2023; I planned, executed and hosted my first solo all day creative educational portrait photo workshop in NorCal - "Fuel your creativity". My heart is full is an understatement!!!

Over the years, I have spoken at several conferences including WPPI, Imaging USA, Click Away, Photo Native and many others plus led online workshops that were recurring with Click Community educational platform and retreats, however; this was a different type of experience managing it solo.

It was certainly exhausting no doubt, but I had so much fun being amongst other creatives who wanted to get together to learn, create, inspire others along the way and be a part of the creative photo community by lifting and supporting others.

We played with all kinds of light including #ocf explored creative elements indoors and outdoors, edited together and so much more that the day seemed short!

In fact I’m so inspired by the workshop; that I’m planning to host another one in 2024 March or April in SoCal. A full day of shooting, creating, sharing, connecting and laughing 🥰 You can join me by sharing your info in this google form. It’ll be an intimate workshop limited to 6 max ppl. Sponsors and vendors support to come soon.

Thanks to my AMAZING sponsor @millerslab for everything you do to support creatives, @theluupe for the awesome swag and support, @profoto for helping promoting creatives, and @studio___313 for the lovely studio space, all the models who did an awesome job collaborating with us! It was a team effort!

There’s not many #bipoc women photography educators around and I’m so so very thankful for the amazing brands, companies in helping promote my educational efforts and bringing creativity in photography/art to be something that we can all think about intentionally.
