Golden Gate School ....what a blast!!!



Last week, I had the honor to be amongst seasoned professionals. I attended the beautiful, Jennifer Wilson's class on capturing Kids & Families at the Golden Gate School of Professional Photography. She was assisted by the lovely, Lisa Maksoudian , and our class of wonderful wonderful photographers. Needless to say, many moments were made and many smiles were captured. The essence of childhood stood still in time on photo, yet moved with such emotion. That is what Jen taught us..... capturing those moments in time....moments that can be seen again and again by storytelling with our cameras. The love, the joy, the fun, the laughter, the play......the innocence and the life as portrayed through the eyes of a child. "Be the child", she would say. "Talk like the child", "Play like the child", "Be as tall as the child" and those moments will be captured. Forever....

Thank you, Jen!!!! You've inspired me greatly......
