LaCour's Business of Storytelling workshop, now in its third edition, started Sunday with a fantastic group of photographers from all over the country. We're having so much fun with everyone, it's more like hanging out with friends than teaching a workshop.

At our welcome party Sunday night, Patrick Williams of Atlanta walked into the studio and spotted Mike Buoy of Orlando. The two of them immediately started pointing at each other and yelling across the room. It turns out, they went to high school together! And neither had any idea the other was a wedding photographer! We were so excited that our little workshop was able to unite two old friends.


We also found out Sunday night that it was Jay Premack's birthday. We couldn't let him go through the week without a mini-celebration. We surprised him Monday with a birthday cake and of course a round of the "happy birthday" song.

And now we can't wait for Tuesday's Biltmore Ballrooms lighting/shooting demo. It's always a blast, and with this group of rather seasoned photographers, we can't wait to see what will come out of their cameras!
