i don’t even care that this is the worst picture of me ever and that it was taken with an iphone in low light. who cares! i was standing next to jasmine star…one of my photography heroes!

in the photography world, this girlie is quite the celebrity and if she were accepting groupies, i would be first in line. she is one of those people that you feel like you have known for years just by reading her blog. she sucks you in. she makes you want to read more. and she is hilarious.

i heard she was coming to speak in michigan and i am such a huge fan of her work and was dying to see if she was the same in person as she comes across on her blog. so, naturally, i signed up and dragged travis with me to hear her speak. she gave a killer presentation and she was funny, sweet, and just downright awesome. yes, even better in person than on her blog.

so, here’s to you jasmine star…

and here’s to NOT using iphones in low light…

and finally, here’s to all of those unblogged sessions that are coming…i promise…
