We're in South Carolina this week on an advertising shoot at Wofford College. Here's a glimpse into our early mornings on campus. Andrew had fun riding around in the "lift," creating amazing images from his unique, bird's-eye vantage point. This is an incredible job, and it often feels more like play than work!

Erin and I are in Miami for a wedding this weekend at the gorgeous Vizcaya Museum. We typically fly Delta, but this trip decided to try American Airlines and they lost our baggage. We always carry on all of our essential camera equipment and check our clothes. Fortunately they found our bag and delivered it this evening. But not before we took the opportunity to go on a quick shopping spree in Coconut Grove to cover us for the rehearsal dinner tonight!

Our workshop, The Business of Storytelling has sold out!! We are super excited about this opportunity to share our vision and business process with everyone. The week in February is going to be a great experience! If you would like to get on our waiting list, please email us. And if you'd like to attend a workshop in the future, please let us know. Since this workshop sold out so quickly, we will more than likely look for dates on our calendar that will work next year for another workshop. If you're interested in attending, feel free to let us know what dates work for you. And for those who will be attending in February - we can't wait!!!

We're thrilled to announce that LaCour is featured this week on the Simple Photo Minute. Erin hosts the video podcast and shares details about how we came up with the idea of LaCour magazine, the impact the magazine has had on our business and how to create a magazine yourself! Our friend, Dane Sanders, started the Simple Photo Minute - a weekly video podcast - with the mission to help photographers simplify their businesses.

I had the privilege of assisting Joe Buissink on a wedding this weekend in Atlanta and I was awed by his humility and gentleness. Joe’s incredible rapport with people is inspiring, and his beautiful photographs reflect a sincere love for his subjects and a willingness to seek out beauty in quiet, subtle moments.

Joe, here’s a quote for you, from someone whose work we both admire. Thank you for reminding me to be patient with myself and with the moment. Your encouragement and support are invaluable.

"The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera."

— Dorothea Lange
