In April I was lucky enough to travel to Indianapolis to learn from the dynamic husband and wife team of photographers Bobbi + Mike. I have been a blog stalker of theirs for quite some time and I nearly passed out with excitement when this opportunity presented itself. I could get all proper and call it a workshop, but it was so much more. It was an experience. With the risk of sounding like a cheezeball, or perhaps a contestant on the bachelorette, it was an experience of a lifetime. I learned a ton, met some fun new friends, and watched in awe and soaked in all the amazingness that radiated from the two of them. The highlight for me (besides sleeping in a hotel room with 3 nights of uninterrupted sleep) was watching Bobbi + Mike in action on a real shoot. Enter Stephanie and Jason. Seriously. These two are not models (though they should be). They are real. And frankly they are some down home, genuine, real people that I was so glad to have had the chance to meet and photograph. And man are they in love. Enter more amazingness radiation. Watching Bobbi + Mike photograph them was super cool....they have such a unique way of interacting with their clients that makes people relax, have fun, and just be. Be happy. Be amazing. Most of the time I observed, but I did pull out my camera here and there for a few shots. A special thank you to Bobbi + Mike for hosting such an inspiring experience and allowing me to learn from you. ~jen





in case you are wondering what they are doing, it is the 'bird of prey' dance...



these shoes are well loved and much deserving of their own spotlight...
