I have been SO BLESSED that my parents were able to give me such an AWESOME Christmas gift this year!!! They bought my seat for the Hope Taylor Photography Senior Workshop! Ever since I came across Hope on Instagram I had been DYING to attend one of her workshops, so this really was a dream come true!
We started the workshop on Sunday evening (3/6/16) at the Meet n Greet. I was so excited to meet all these gorgeous Boss Ladies! Then Monday (3/7/16) morning we had light breakfast and started learning! Learning from Hope is SO FUN! Between fun giveaways, to tips and tricks, to her general happiness that she spread through the room. Hopes passion for not only her business and the art of taking photos, but her heart for her clients made her SUPER EASY to learn from. She said this one quote that I really took to heart because not only can I apply it to my business but I can also apply it to my life!
“If you don’t have haters, you’re doing it wrong”
You really can’t please everyone in life, and not everyone who sees your work is going to like it, and that’s OKAY!
After all the business talk, we took a break and had some AMAZING Homemade Mac n Cheese that Hopes mom made. It was seriously the bomb dot com! After lunch we talked about Hopes senior Rep program and the importance of having one. I fell in love with the idea of having a Rep Program and I decided to start one for my 2017 Seniors (SR Rep Program Applications will be released SOON!) after the workshop I also decided that I want to do a PARTIAL REBRAND!!!
Even though I LOVE talking business and getting inspired, I think my favorite thing was the Styled Shoot that Kat from Dear Sweetheart Events put together!!!
