my friend, leah, and i have been talking about doing a workshop for years now. going back and forth... should we? shouldn't we? if we do it, we have to do it right. and we want ours to be different. truly and deeply inspiring. learning and growing... together. and then things started happening. sort of falling in our lap. and so we did.
for months, we have been working to make our workshop dream a reality. and today, we officially launched wallflower friends | a photographer's retreat. we feel so very blessed and grateful to be at this point in our photography journey and we're so excited to share!!
