Tonya Joy Workshop: Shoot #1

The circus-inspired, whimsical, fashion-forward, glamorous photography workshop really lived up to its description.  Tonya Joy was a pleasure to learn from and an inspiration to us all.   Our first shoot took place at the Galleano Winery in Corona.  Our mime-themed models were a creative start to our day. 

Styling, design, hair, and makeup were done by Katrina Kirk.

for the grandparents.

It is so fun to reconnect with old friends through photography.  Nancy had won my very first giveaway a few months ago.  She and I have known each other since high school.  She gifted this photo shoot to her visiting parents.  5 grandkids ages 4 and under.  It was a blast. 

location: Creek Park, La Mirada... i just love those bridges!

day 3: then & now.

 My favorite school photo of Hunter.  3 years old with 2 black eyes as a result of jumping on the bed.  Classic.

day 2: how they LOOK

I'll admit I took this 2 days ago... but it is by far one of my favorites to date.  It is SO Avery.
