Community over competition is something I strongly believe in. I was a competitive baton twirler from the time I was 5 years old until I graduated from college. My parents always told me, if you let competition come between you and any friendship, you will not be allowed to twirl. This is something that has stuck with me throughout my life, and I strongly believe that friendships are so much more important than any competition. This workshop with Photos and Phellowship was a great example of friendship and community.

These two and all of the vendors were such a dream to work with for this artisan shoot. How beautiful is this space at Opal & Fern in Dayton, Ohio? The white brick was perfect to bounce light off of and create a beautiful atmosphere!

This table setting was absolutely amazing, especially with all of the little details. I mean how cute is the pear with the bride and groom tags attached? Everything was thought of for this beautiful styled shoot, and I am so thankful I was able to be a part of it!

Not only was I able to capture this beautiful styled shoot, but I was also able to make new friends and learn from so many talented photographers.

A big thank you to all of the vendors involved in this beautiful shoot!
