Well, there's not much more to say about my amazing time in Seattle, other than I can't believe it was already a week ago! I feel energized and inspired and ready to redouble my efforts to make every image I capture more beautiful and meaningful than the last. For all you CreativeLIVE junkies, I thought you might enjoy these... a few behind-the-scenes shots from my time there. (Upon review, I took far too few of these pictures and wish I had portraits of everyone there... grrrr!) First, the inimitable Bambi Cantrell - showing us how it's done!

(On the right, by the way, is the camera guy she referred to repeatedly as "cute camera guy", just in case you were wondering...)

Lorenc and his beautiful wife, and Susan Roderick, rocking the long lens:

Terri, John, and Michael comparing settings, and Bambi guiding Michael through the setup of a boudoir shoot:

And speaking of Terri... this one's for you, Genesis:

(You're welcome!)

And a (partial) group shot of the paparazzi... it consistently amazed me how well our non-pro models did with that many cameras aimed at them!

These two - Nikko and Kate - are some of the backstage crew... so much fun and talent! Me? I have absolutely no idea how to act in front of a camera... obviously...

On the last day, everyone wanted their photo made with Bambi... here she is with the BehindtheLIVE dream team: Susan and Kenna...

(If you like my behind the scenes photos, by the way, you absolutely MUST check out the BehindtheLIVE videos... including an interview with yours truly here!)

And cheesy as it might be, I had to get a shot with Bambi, too... Last weekend was a pretty momentous one in my life and career, and I will never, ever forget it. Thank you, Bambi... Thank you CreativeLIVE. To all the friends I met there and online, I hope to see you soon!

xox,
