Photo Workshop

I taught a private photo workshop near Zion Park at the first of the week. I didn't get many shots for myself as I was teaching most of the time. Here's a few I managed to grab

and another one taken at the park during a "potty stop":

Most important, everyone had a great time and learned a lot!

I will be doing several workshops in southern Utah this spring. Beginner and advanced, group or "one on one" sessions, Zion NP, Grand Canyon, Arizona strip. If you are interested in joining us for a workshop contact me at cjeffs@trailsidephotography.com .

I have been so buy I haven't had the chance to post these photos from a session near the first part of the month.

This little family is adorable.




Can you feel the love?

The girls and I got up early and went for a hike up a local canyon. It was beautiful. It's amazing how getting out early energizes you! Next time I would like to make it before sunrise. The wild blackberries are beginning to ripen. Some are black, but still a little tart.

It was definitely a time 4 R&R.....we explored up the coast on the Pacific Coast Highway. We went to a neat little fisherman's wharf for lunch. We wouldn't have even known it existed, thankgoodness for GPS! They served what has to be the best grilled sea bass I've ever had in my life. It was not fancy (we ate at picnic tables) but the food was superb! A major bonus... it cost under 20 bucks for the two of us!<< MORE >>
