Last week I had the great opportunity to spend the morning/afternoon with an amazing portrait photographer. Shannon Sewell is an amazingly talented portrait photographed based out of the Washington area, and she was in Texas given some one-on-one mentoring sessions to some photographers. I had the privilege to spend some time with her and see her in action as she took some pictures of me for my website, some one year anniversary pictures for my wife Jessica and I, as well as taking some family portraits of the Sumlin family. It was awesome getting to see another portrait photographer whom I admire in action. She did such a great job and had some great information to share and she was so sweet just to open up her life and business for me to learn from. I felt incredibly blessed to have an opportunity like this fall into my lap.

Thank you so much Shannon for your time! It was great to build a new friendship with a rockstar photographer like yourself. Everyone should go check out her blog and website!

All you photographers who are just starting out and reading this blog, I highly recommend finding a seasoned pro photographer who you can serve as a mentor for you. It is the best way to learn!

Here are two pictures that I took:
