It isn’t often that I leave home -and even less often that I travel quite so far but for months Carrie Towns and I had been talking about a visit Kansas to teach a workshop and it was hard to say no.
After all… if people wanted me to travel all that way just to teach a workshop, I was flattered enough to say yes.

This Virginia girl wasn’t accustomed to all the wide open space. Our lush, dense hardwoods don’t give these views…

Never in my life have I met such kind, warm-hearted people.
Girls were there from all corners of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas and we all felt welcomed… just as if we had lived in Colby our entire lives.
The workshop was incredible. Everyone was so eager to learn and full of questions that the classes zipped by.


I think Kansas gave me my youngest workshopper yet… when Miss A. is famous, I’ll be shouting from the rooftops that I knew her way back when!



I didn’t even have to tell these girls that photographers have dirty knees – they knew.
(look at all that yummy glass!)

A big, BIG thank you to Kansas and all my workshop girls for an AMAZING time that I won’t ever forget.
If you missed Kansas, you can always travel to Virginia… I have a few spots (just a few!) left for 2013.I would love to meet you!
