Magic In Hilton Head

ISO 100 15mm f14 1/13sec ICM

Sometimes in life you need some time to just focus on one thing. As busy moms we often get used to multi-tasking and doing so many things at once to keep everyone happy and just do all the things. This spring I had the chance to go on Kristen Ryan Photography’s Magic in Hilton Head photography retreat. What a great chance to just focus on photography and be with like-minded women who love (or at least think its worth it) to get up before sunrise everyday and enjoy capturing nature’s beauty…and then spend the rest of the day out with our cameras too! I spend a lot of time photographing at the beach by myself or with my hubby (who is very patient but i’m sure often not as excited about sea foam as I am) so it was a special treat to be there with other photographers. It was such a great experience to compare notes on gear, settings, and compositions (and of course adding to our shopping lists in the meantime) and then to share our images and editing techniques together. Kristen provided a wonderful learning environment and conjured up some amazing skies! So whatever your hobbies or interests I encourage you to seek out like-minded people and spend some quality time sharing your passion together!
