A LITTLE SUSSY: Deer Valley Photo Retreat Recap

Two weeks ago, I had the privilege of hosting a 3-day photo retreat in Deer Valley, UT. It was a wonderful event where I met amazing women with great talent. Last year, I taught this retreat in Southern France with Candice so being on my own was just... oh... double the work?

It was so worth it. Highlights included: Photo shoot on Park City's Main Street, Scenic lift ride up Park City Mountain for landscape shooting, Jacuzzing, Portrait techniques on the snowy mountain (Who knew it'd be snowy still? It's June!!), Photo Workflow with Mike, Tabletop shooting, Flash techniques, Dinner at Montage's Gastro Pub and more.

We finished the retreat with one-on-one sessions where I looked over the student's work from the weekend. I was truly blown away. By the end of the retreat, they had some breathtaking work.

Thank you, gals, for joining me in the snowy mountains! I enjoyed being with you -and teaching you!

If you missed the retreat this year, save your pennies because Candice and I are about 90% sure we'll be taking you to Ireland -and possibly France again! (May/June 2012)

Nicole,
I just received the most bizarre email that you had been attacked and robbed in London England. I am sure it is a scam; however, I want to alert you that they may have hacked into your email account as the sender has your name. (That is why I am not emailing you directly.)
Most of all, I am glad you are safe!
