So it’s Friday! Can I get a woot woot!! Man, it’s hard blogging everyday of the week! Sheesh! But I’ll be blogging this weekend and until Tuesday for sure! So enter your chance to win a free one year sub to ShowIt Sites, you could read about that here.
As some of you may or may not know, I’m a huge fan of Jasmine Star, as I am sure most of you photographers who visit me are huge fans as well. I was very fortunate to score a seat to an upcoming workshop of hers which is where I will be several days from now. I am SOO excited… nervous…anxious… excited…nervous…anxious…the whole bit. I’ll be attending her workshop with 19 other photographers from around the country, all at different levels of our photographic journey, so it’ll be quite exciting for me to absorb and meet 19 of my peers plus Jasmine and her cute husband JD. I will admit that it was my dear husband who pushed me to sign up for a seat and it was my dear husband who encourages me to invest in my business. He has never lead me in the wrong direction and I am beyond blessed to have a husband who believes more in ME than I do in myself at times. Can I get a collective “Uh huh? Go on girl!” With his blessing , I guess you could call this a Valentine’s pressie, I got from good old brown last night. That sweet piece of glass up there… the Canon 50mm 1.2L….(aaahhhh… can you hear the angels singing?).
Oh man! I am so excited to to get on my kids last nerves this weekend and take photos of them with this lens in their faces until they can’t stand me anymore!!! Yeah, payback kids…payback.
Your comment today will be placed in the hat for a chance to win. Remember, you need to post a comment everyday until next Tuesday to increase your chances of winning. Or if you just want to say something nice and not be entered, you could do that too.
Oh..and BTW… Vampire Diaries was soooo good last night – like O.M.G. so good! I am more than bummed that they are on hiatus until March 25th… what am I going to do on Thursday night from now until then?
I would say have a great weekend…but I’ll be blogging so check back and leave a comment!
Happy Friday
xo, ~j
gah i’m so jealous! i want that lens so bad!!! can’t wait to meet you soon!
I’m so excited for you! Jasmine’s workshop is worth every single penny! I’m hoping she does an advanced version just so I can do another one! Enjoy that lens! I’m trying my best not to be jealous!
Have soooo much fun! I wish I could be there. We should do a workshop together one of these day. And enjoy that lens. I love it!
Love it and love Jennifer Brotchie Photography!!!
Happy Friday to you Jennifer. I am so so thrilled for you that you are going to Jasmine Star’s seminar. I know you will have tons of fun and will learn alot, not to mention spending time with your fav person.
Thanks to Dave, yes, tell him I said that. He believes in you because he loves you and see all that you are. You and I are lucky that in way. Scott sees my potential which I often doubt in myself. Amen to that!!!!
You lucky girl!! J* rocks and so do you!! Your “Pay it Forward” is so super awesome… struggling photogs are bowing at your feet. =)
OMG!! I am sooo jealous of your seat at Jasmine’s workshop AND your great new lens. I have a 50mm 1.8 and I do love it. I know your shots will be fabulous with the lens….Have a great weekend and thanks for sharing your great news with us!
Congrats! This is one sweet lens. 🙂
It always makes it so much easier to do the things we love when we have the support of the ones we love :)I love your passion it is so infectious. Hope the kids had fun today.
Shweet! I’m a J* fan too, she’s just a rockstar! Have fun with the new lens 🙂
Two great minds think alike! I can’t believe we got ours on the same day! Can’t wait to use it this week! And Vampire Diaries had me on pins and needles! It gets better and better, I’m going to go crazy until the next one!
An iphone and the 50 1.2 in the same week? That’s a good week. The 50 1.2 is by far my favorite and most used lens…love. love love. Yay that you got it before this next week too. Great timing. So happy for you! You WILL see a difference in your images.
I love Jasmine Star her pictures are so insperational.
YES! Great lens! I know you will have a great time with that one. And yes, your kids will be annoyed for a bit, but when they’re older, they’ll be thankful to have so many awesome pictures of their childhood! At least that’s how I rationalize taking so many pics of my girls (and soon-to-be boy)!
AAaaaaaaahhh!!! Nice piece of glass!! Congrats! (And, yes, so bummed about tVD not coming back until Mar 25.)
Okay…I had no idea you were going to the workshop!!! One of my former brides is a new, budding photographer and she will be attending the workshop too! Her name is Kristy Dickerson and you can give her a big fat hug from me. You guys are going to have a great time and I know you will be amazingly inspired!!!
As for the lens, you are going to rock it with your kids (my son is so well documented that he can’t stand to see me coming anymore, but I have to say secretly I think he enjoys it), but imagine the fantastic images that you will get at the workshop. The lens will be your new BFF! Have a great weekend and do something extra special for your number one cheerleader/husband. We all need “at a boys” every now and again.
WOW. That’s one heck of a Valentine’s Day gift!! Congrats on the awesome glass and for having such a wonderful, supportive husband. Can’t wait to see the pics! I’ll see you in a few days!
Sweet! I can’t wait to see the pictures!
WooHoooo Congratulations girl! That’s pretty awesome. I know that’s Jasmine’s favorite lens… I’m debating with the typical dilema, Canon or Nikon, I should be getting my tax return soon and I need to make up my mind! The Nikon D3 rental I just got is sick, I’m drooling big time but it’s really expensive! What camera do you have? I love you pics!!!
Well, I hope to have the opportunity to win that Showit but if I don’t it’s being awesome being in contact with you all these days! See you on Tuesday! I’ll comment on your blog from the airplane on my iPhone!!!
