One word.  NOT two.  Okay, it took me a few tries to get that right, but don’t hold it against this Canuck, y’all…The final part of day two was spent in a field of them (said one-worded bluebonnets) working in pairs…but across from this field (aka ditch) was a really cool dead tree/wispy wheat section that my partner and I jumped on!

I had the pleasure of photographing (and being photographed by) the “elegant and charming” Amanda McNeely from Midland, TX.  Not only is she an AMAZING photographer and business woman in her own rights, she also has the most adorable accent EVER!  I actually made her talk/sing into my iPhone before she departed so I could have an instant pick me up if needed (Baby, baby, baby, OOOOOOooooo!)

Isn’t she adorable!?!

Because I was focused on Ms. Amanda so much, I didn’t get too many images of the other ladies at work, but here’s the rest of the “Pinkle Posse“.

Lauren Reynolds is one stylin’ lady who can rock the 5DMarkii like nobody’s business!  She’s located in Dallas, TX and is destined for greatness!  The dyptych is Ms Amy Schuff from sunny Sacramento, CA….aka the roommate that wasn’t…She’s the sweetest person, an amazing photographer and should be a model…I kid you not.  She can smyze better than Miss Tyra Banks herself (but I don’t watch that show either…no really…).

And last, but definitely not least, Sara Turns from the Woodlands, TX and Sarah Jordan from Boston, MA.  Sara T. introduced me to Chuy’s Jalapeno Ranch dip and it’s a good thing for my hips that we don’t have Chuy’s here…I was INSTANTLY addicted.  What I loved most about Sara was her oh so quiet and unassuming nature counter balanced with her quick wit and humour!  Sarah (with an h) was my kindred northern spirit.  We defended each other on all things non-southern (aka no-see-ums…yes, they’re real!).  Thanks for all the laughs and having my back!

Both girls are fab photogs and cute as a button too!

I tell ya, our collective education from the whole group was rather astounding…seriously.  Reunion workshop:  “How to run the world, photographer style!  2012”  Thank you girls for making the trip even more amazing!!

Shona xoxo
