Meeting Audrey Woulard

For those of you who are not photographers, you may not know the name Audrey Woulard, but you WILL know her work. She is the Pottery Barn Kids Photographer. If you are a photographer, then you probably think she is something equivelant to, say, Brad Pitt, and meeting her would be like the equivelant of say, getting a back stage pass to The Rolling Stones, so going to a workshop of hers is like getting a singing lesson from Josh Groban. Yes, folks, she is a star.

So, I spent the weekend in Audrey Woulard's loft. I am terrible with words, so I will just say it was COOL. I got to shoot adorable professional models in a famous natural light studio under the direction of THE Audrey Woulard. One of the girls I photographed happens to be in this month's American Girl catalog, which impressed even my daughter, who is incredibly difficult to impress. This was like a dream weekend for me. On top of Audrey Woulard I got to spend three days with Julie, Megan, and Candy (missed you, the rest of you Chicks!), also photographers I want to be like when I grow up!

Without further adieu, these are the images I took at the workshop. It was a tough shooting environment, these poor kids were like celebrities being photographed by paparazzi, there were lots of photographers vying for their attention. I am sure their parents were very proud of them!
