i am still here at the goPro reunion in colorado.
there are over 20 laptops and cords and phones and cameras laying ALL over the place in this house.
it's completely awesome.
it's a happy mess that this group "gets" and enjoys and appreciates.
we enjoyed an awesome skype session about marketing with amy fraughton of photo business tools.
she was encouraging and inspiring.
wendy & tyler are wonderful instructors…patient…understanding and kind.
the enviornment at GoPro is so relaxed and noncompetive.
it's so refreshing to not feel like you have a dumb question or out of your league.
they are so good at making everyone feel empowered!
what a gift they have and i am SO grateful that they share it so openly.
there was lots of time for questions and answers.
and later in the evening we headed out for a family shoot to practice.
i get such a kick out of watching a workshop shoot….all those cameras.
the two familes were ridiculously gorgeous.
steamy….right?? crazy amounts of beautiful at this shoot.
and the kids all behaved like angels.
it was basically a dream shoot for any photographer.
and it made me miss shooting families.
i kinda wish i had 10 more hours in a day so i could still do it…and run craft weekend…and raise my family….and create….and sew…and clean the house….well, maybe not clean the house. 🙂
i do miss interacting through photography.
maybe someday i can come back to it.
i hope so.
after our shoot was lots and lots more talking about photography and everything else.
and then the traditional wild and rowdy game of spoons.
wendy won.
i think it was possibly rigged….
loving it all so much here at goPro.
i hope your day is going great too.
i hear it's raining in kansas – YAY!!!
i am sad to miss it.

Debbie Hargadon - The Dad kissing the little girl on the cheek is an all time keeper! No one else’s photos could possibly be any better than yours Meg. So much emotion and feeling captured. That is the best. What fun learning experiences you get to enjoy as technology changes at lightning speed. Thanks for sharing.

Tracy - We had a nice steady rain here in Kansas City this morning. It was glorious!! Have a good Sunday, Meg!
Wendy - “…the kids all behaved like angels” – did someone slip them some Benadryl? Once in a while the stars and moon alighn and a shoot goes easy-peasy … but usally I’m running around like a nut!
