well, sort of. I won't be giving step-by-step directions on pulling off your own "Lit like LaCour" shots, but I will divulge some of the going-ons from the week.
We all had a great time and learned a lot. First off, I have to say again, the LaCour crew was awesome. Mark, Andrew, Rachel, and Erin were so open and genuine, it was truly a pleasure to get to know them all. And I so enjoyed getting to know all of my classmates. Each added their own touch to the class and definitely raised the bar on my expectations for future classes.
I've had a few of you ask me why I'd bother to go to a photography class when I'm already a great photographer. While I admit my head swelled a bit at the compliment, I have to say that all photographers (and I'm sure this applies to other professions as well) need to attend classes to keep the creative flames burning, to learn or brush up on techniques, but most of all to make new friends who share our love for photography.
This past week I spent time getting to know several people who truly love photography. I couldn't be anything but better for it. A better photographer and a better person. Below are some images of my fabulous classmates and here's a link to the gallery for those of you who want to see all of the pictures. The code is LaCour.
Thank you to my clients who understand how important this class was to me. I appreciate your support!!
The irrepressible Stuart Thurkill tries out BIG lens.
We all took our turns trying to capture 'the' image as Mark and Erin danced...
And what a dancer Mark is! Andrew looks on.
I think maybe Mark still loves dancing with Erin!
The Biltmore Ballrooms was the site for our lighting demonstration and classes were held in the Cellar at the Twelve Hotel in Atlantic Station. Very nniiicccee! :o)
We had a delectable meal at Ecco, a modern four-star restaurant in Atlanta. Mmmmmm.

Stuart was nice enough to pose for me while I tried my hand at a LaCour lighting technique.
Nice purse Aaron! Kristin thinks so.

Here I am trying my hand at a low, low light shot.
This cutie won everyone's heart! Graycen is definitely the most photographed child ever. She's around photographers all the time, and with such a cute face we can't help but turn our cameras her way!
Erin was such a good sport, taking requests from all of us. This is one of my favorite shots of her spinning.
