A Fun Little Getaway I Owasso Photographer

This past weekend we went to a little town called Gore and cabin camped. My husband thinks I'm silly when I say we are camping when we're staying in a cabin, but we're doing all the things you do on a camping trip, but with climate control and a bed. I camped a lot as a kid in a tent and it was fun and all, but I have to say I like cabin camping much better.  I'm sure one of these days we'll take our daughter good ol' tent camping, but for now she's 3 and her and I both like warm cozy beds. 

The place we stayed is called Marval Resort. "Where families create memories" is there logo and that is just what we did. What a perfect logo especially for a photographers family! :) This is was our second time to go to Marval and we had just as much fun this time as we did the first time. It's so peaceful, the fishing is good and there's a family center where you can do activiites and rent bikes. There is just so much to do there.

I recommend this place to any family that just wants to get away for a peaceful relaxing weekend. 

Here are some fun images of our weekend.

 Golf cart rentals
 sand art, painting, tshirt making and so much more at the activity center


 Had to add a picture of me wearing the boots my husband got me in the river. My feet did not get wet at all.  Hunter boots are amazing!

Beautiful and peaceful


I recommend this little getaway spot to anyone.

I ADVANCED

So, I've been a little MIA lately on my blog. I've been gearing up for a busy season of shooting people and getting pumped up for a photography workshop.

Last weekend I attended a workshop called Advance.The name really says it all. If you want to advance in any profession you're in you've got to put in the effort and work hard to advance yourself and your business.
Just like doctors, therapists or hair stylists and really so many more professions we photographers must go through training seminars or workshops to continue our growth in the field we love. I believe there's truly no way to advance if you don't put the effort in and continue to learn and make yourself better. In an over saturated field like photography, where people are so competitive you have to stand out. Why be average when you can be great?!

The photographers that lead this workshop hold nothing back.They teach every aspect of their business and give all their secrets to help us get better and thrive. Session demonstrations, go to props, live editing and so much more.  I feel like for me attending advance was a no brainer. Learn from highly skilled photographers how to make my business better. YES, please! The amount of information you get is really priceless.

Here are some images I took from the workshop.
