Mentoring 101 and 1/2

When I am asked to mentor another photographer, I get all giddy... Not just because they are asking, but because I actually love, love to talk shop with other tog's...

I certainly do not have all the answers, nor do I claim to have all of them, but what I can show them is the way I do things around here behind the scenes.. From the start of a session to the end... ya' know, the quirky ways of Gina Lee.. ;)

I had a fun mentoring session with Kristen Lanoye from Kaptured By Kristen Photography... She is a great photographer and well on her way to making it a full time business... Fo' shizzle... ;) Go Kristen! Go Kristen!.. okay.. I'm a nerd...

I am so excited about seeing Kristen again in our Get Tha' Funk out workshop coming up...

Thanks Kristen.. I had a blast.. and look forward to all your successes... ;) you are rock'n it girl... ;)

Thank you Miss Lily for being our model for the day...you are simply beautiful.. ;)

Here are just a few from our afternoon.. Enjoy!

When you have 5 beautiful little girls, candy galore and one beach pier... I knew it was going to be a fun afternoon... :)

Vickie Love Greenlee is about to launch her new website, and commissioned me to photograph her new line of scarves. When we talked about what she was looking for, I knew instantly I wanted to do this... :)
