What better way to start my year off than to win a seat to one of Skye Hardwick's Sweetlight Collective Workshops. I had a attended a Sweetlight Workshop In Kentucky a couple years ago https://kristinhickman.squarespace.com/blog/2016/3/23/sweetlight-collective-in-kentucky-by-work-of-heart-photography-day-1. https://kristinhickman.squarespace.com/blog/2016/3/24/sweetlight-collective-in-kentucky-day-2. The experience was amazing and I could hardly believe I would be getting a second opportunity to learn from Skye. And to add to the excitement the workshop would be held at The Prairie by Rachel Ashwell http://www.theprairiebyrachelashwell.com. With one night lodging, in the most beautiful, luxurious bed I have ever slept in! The Prairie is so beautiful, it is hard to describe, somewhere that you HAVE to experience for yourself!

But one of the best parts of attending these workshops is meeting the other talented attendees, a very talented and adorable clothing designer, the beautiful models and their wonderful Mamas, and of course getting to hang with Skye and Gary! Oh and I can't forget the FOOD, seriously SO delish!

This trip and workshop filled my soul to the brim!

Here are the first 3 models I photographed wearing amazing gowns by Bentley and Lace. https://www.bentleyandlace.com. I just love Elizabeth Copeland's designs! She is SO talented!
