I've always thought about taking her workshop but I didn't have the right type of camera and thought the material would be way over my head. But when my friend, Sharella, said she signed up for the workshop, I decided to take the plunge and sign up... and buy a new camera. Friday night, we met from 6:30-9:00 and basically went over all of the technical stuff. Then on Saturday, we did a little of the same in the morning and then had fun practicing everything we'd learned. In the afternoon, we got to do a mini photoshoot in Ria's studio with 3 different models. I had so much fun and learned so much! Now I'm hoping I can go back to reading my Digital SLR Photography for Dummies book... and not feel like a dummy!
Here's a photo of Ria (we were practicing some different settings outside)...
Here's her studio... it's AWESOME!! Tons of great lighting and perfectly decorated. 
This is her prop room... lots of cute little hats!
This little girl was our first model. She's 18 months old and absolutely adorable. I was curious to see what tricks Ria had up her sleeve to get an 18 month old to sit still. Her secret? SMARTIES! I'm totally going to try that with Sam. My camera settings were a little off but I still think these two turned out good.
This little girl and her sister were our next set of models. They came dressed in their Halloween costumes. They were a bit harder to photograph because there were so many of us trying to take their pictures and I think they got a little bored. Here is one of the older sister.
This little cutie is 10 months old and I had the most fun with her. Do you think her outfit could get any cuter? She had striped leg warmers, a onesie with ruffles on the butt and that cute knit hat. At first, she was a little shy... who could blame her though with 15 people pointing their cameras at her but it didn't take long for her to warm up. 
This is probably my favorite photo of the day... I love her pouty lip!
No worries... she's happy again!
