A few days later, she announced that Susan Stripling was having a workshop in just 3 more days at Annapolis and there were only two vacancies left. I was so excited! The problem was that it was a last minute deal, and I had to find someone to watch my son. Luckily, we had some good friends that were willing to help us. So again, lucky me. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>The workshop was in late March. It started at 10 in the morning and ended at almost 10 in the evening. \ud83d\ude42 We got a chance to practice to shoot outdoor where we observed the location, where the lights were coming from, and how the lights fell on the subjects. We were fortunate to have Lauren, Jen and Brent to model for us. Make up was done by the talented <a href=\"http:\/\/amiedeckerbeauty.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Amie Decker<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The forecast said that it was supposed to rain all day. Lucky us, we got some breaks in the cloud and we ended up with cloudy day during the shoot although it was quite chilly. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>So here are some of my favorite images.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/leodjphoto.com\/images\/blog\/S-Stripling-Seminar-0154-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"Girl hugged by guy, looking at camera. Engagement session model photography - Annapolis photographer\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" \/>\n<p>Most of the poses and set-ups was done by Susan, but some were done by the attendees. The first image above was set by Susan, but when it was my turn to shoot, I modified the pose a bit and directed Jen and Brent where to look. BTW, don&#8217;t you think Jen had amazing eyes? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/leodjphoto.com\/images\/blog\/S-Stripling-Seminar-0122.jpg\" alt=\"Couple cuddling, enjoying each other.
