The other photographers were awesome and I ate brains.
No. Really. Jen Snyder, who is my long lost dork twin, ordered “lobster with sweet breads” at dinner the first night. Sweet breads are brains. Who knew? She didn’t, and neither did I. They taste like garlic.
Back to the photographers. Summer was so much fun. She does some of the most beautiful color newborn work I’ve ever see and she can get joy out of the most recalcitrant child. Leiba was the coolest, most inspiring wench imaginable and Zoe, who organized the workshop, shoots the most beautiful scenes and intimidates the hell out of me because she is just that good. As for the teacher, well, I am Cheryl Jacobs‘ crazy stalker and some day she’s going to find me living under her porch so I can pluck every last bit of knowledge from her brain.
Brains. Mmmmmm….
So, we took a lot of pictures – go figure at a photography workshop – and this particular child was one of my favorite models because she was such a bit of mischief. And those freckles!
I call this one “Her Ladyship Sits for Her Portrait.”
Expect more of more kids as the days go by…
These are adorable! I LOVE those freckles. Can’t wait to see more from this fun-sounding workshop
What a sweet girl – you caputred some really cute expressions and I’m loving those freckles!
These are great! Sounds like a fun workshop!

love the freckles!!!!! great images
I’m jealous of your workshop…sounds like so much fun:) I just love girls like this…she’s so cute and her freckles are to die for and I can see her personality in these. Your B&W’s are just stunning!!!
Sooooo wishing I could have been at this workshop with you amazing ladies….and even more so now that I see your beautiful images!
Love these!!! Sounds like you were in great company!
what a great bunch of girls… sounds like a fantastic time!! oh, and those freckles… too cute!!
Sounds like a lot of fun! Beautiful images!
Wonderful images, Stacie. I’ve already said this about a billion times, but I’m jealous of your workshop! What a bunch of talented ladies all up in one space! Crrrazy.
Oh, and… mmmmm, lobster.
You crack me up! Glad you liked it so much!
Beautiful.
Great job with this little gal. Glad you had fun and learned tons.
Those are beautiful Stacie! Love them! I love Cheryl’s work too. Jealous that you got to spend the time with her. Not so jealous about the whole eating-brains thing.
She is beautiful. I love the richness to your black and whites.
They tasted like garlic. If I hadn’t known what they were I would have guessed badly prepared squid, which isn’t exactly a recommendation, I realize. I think they are going to go on my “weird foods I’ve eaten” list but not go on the “things to try again” list.
And Cheryl is really so amazing, both personally and talent-wise. I feel really lucky I got to go and if she does another workshop in my area I’ll be trying to get to that one too!
Thanks!
Thanks. It was such fun and I could sit at Cheryl’s feet and learn for years and not soak up a fraction of what that woman knows.
Thank you!
Brains!
It was so fabulous. Next time you have to go too!
It was great and thank you
Aren’t the freckles to die for. SUCH a cutie!
Next time you have to come!
She was adorable – just personality plus with skin to swoon over.
Thank you!
I love this!!!
