Business Bootcamp & a bridal shoot at the NMA | Canberra portrait photographer

Wowee, what a week!

On Sunday I joined 11 other photographers to learn from the awesomely inspiring Liana Hall (nee Lehman) in an intense 2.5 day Business Bootcamp. My butt was seriously kicked, and as a result, I have a very busy few months ahead, but I am sooooo excited and grateful for all I have learned and can now put into play for heartstory. I do have a love affair with my calculator and a few excel spreadsheets on a fairly regular basis, but the art of business is not a natural talent, and this truly could not have come at a better time.

Bootcamp was super hard work, so we finished it off with some super hard fun in the form of a high fashion bridal shoot (which Liana specialises in) down at the NMA with the most gorgeous couple ever, Natalie and Victor.  Their wedding was photographed by the amazing and talented Kelly Tunney just three months ago (thank you Kelly for organising for them to come!).  They were so much fun to photograph, and I was on such a high afterwards.

The gorgeous hair and makeup was done by Heather Turk.

Thank you so, so, so much to the darling Christine Pobke for organising for Liana to come out to Australia this year. I met Christine at Jesh de Rox’s Life {as an artform} workshop in December and she is fast becoming one of my closest friends. (Head over to her blog to see her take on the bridal shoot!) And if you go to Liana’s blog, you’ll see photos of all the bootcamp survivors, including yours truly! Thanks again Liana, and thank you Kelly for having us at your studio.
