The SafeHouse Workshop, behind the scenes!

|Embracing the Chaos of Parenthood|

I had the honor of teaching during The SafeHouse workshop for The BabeTown Collective in September. What an incredible experience to be working with so many talented photographers/students during this trip. Not only do I feel as if the students learned a lot, I also learned so much during this workshop! How could you not, so many INSANE educators were involved! Lola Gilbert is the brain behind this amazing group, HUGE thanks to that angel!

I taught on the third day of the workshop, and several students followed me to The Urban Cowboy studio. What a chaotic scene! Thanks to Bianca, of Real Mommy Confessions, it was AMAZING. She volunteered her family to be models. Her family is so full of energy and really adapted well to the mob of photographers, it was paparazzi all over! The students had a blast photographing the chaotic morning scene. Bianca's husband is a Brooklyn firefighter, so we had him bring his gear, made for some fun props.

Some things that unfolded during the shoot:
-The dog almost fell off the counter
-Her son got naked(almost)
-Her son threw Captain crunch all over the room, even at the photographers (hahahah)
-Captain crunch will forever be stored in those floorboards
-The dog pooped colors for days
-Bianca got peanut butter smeared in her face
-The children ate so many donuts, I thought they'd pass out
-Kiddo's took THE BIGGEST NAP EVER after the shoot (I was right about them passing out hehe)

Here are some behind the scenes of my class. HUGE THANKS to Ore Adesina for capturing the following images and also snapping some saweeeeeeet photos!! You rock, girl!
