Laura and I have been looking forward to this week for a while… We blogged at the end of last week about all the craziness that people don’t see, and the messy middle’s that we felt like has been our life since moving back from Kenya. This week we are so blessed to spend a week with Laura’s family at the beach in Cape Cod. This week will include some planning, organizing, and definitely some photography, but it will definitely be balanced out with a heavy dose of “relaxatin” (extra strength). We feel like we have been running around without a moment to catch our breath, so we will be using this week to take a step back, relax, and enjoy some quality time and some quality sun.

While we were in Kenya, working on our rebrand, and setting big goals for our little business, we decided we wanted to attend a workshop where we could learn from someone we really looked up to in the photography world. We were thinking big, like the Katelyn James, Amy and Jordan, Justin and Mary’s of the world. Someone who had a good heart and could teach us with love about how to grow and serve the way we wanted to. Someone we followed, and respected, and loved. And then we started the Academy and were amazed that we got to learn from ALL of those incredible photographers I just listed.. and more! And we learned SO much and grew so much. But we still felt like we could benefit from some close, real interaction with one of these incredible photographers. And then I saw a message about Amy and Jordan possibly coming to VA Beach to hold a workshop. AMY AND JORDAN!!!
