Me Ra Koh Workshop Trip – Day Two

In my last post, I forgot to mention the cool menus that were in my hotel room. I’m not talking about the room service menu either. I am talking about…

The Pillow Menu…YES…really, there was a pillow menu!

And the Spiritual Menu…

This was the day I had been waiting for. The first day of the workshop!!!!

We were greeted with Me Ra Koh Workshop tote bags with goodies and this beautiful folder.  (As a scrapbooker, I LOVED this handmade folder.)

After a few hours of learning, we had our first model shoots. There were 4 mothers there with their babies.

The group I was with were assigned a baby, mother and father. The baby was only 6 weeks old and as adorable as could be!

We first got to enjoy watching MeRa do her thing!

I was as nervous as could be. Indoor lighting is something I am still learning and the lighting in the museum was pretty challenging.

Although I had doubts on what I had captured, I was pleasantly surprised to see some images that I really liked.

Baby Finley just had THE sweetest face. The little guy did great considering he had a bunch of strange women circling him with our cameras! =)

Aren’t his cheeks just tooooo adorable?

This is my favorite image from the session. You can feel their admiration and pride for their new baby.

I love your shots of Finley and his parents!

I have the exact same picture of the pillow menu. :) Did you ever order any pillows? I didn't...but it was really nice to know I had the option.

I am loving your recaps! It is almost like getting to revisit the workshop again. What a great time.

Hi Michelle,

I've been checking your blog daily with hopes to see these pictures. YAY...I'm so happy to see them up today. I love how you captured Finley. Any chance you could send me a few of the jpgs you shot that day?

Thanks,
