A couple of months ago Jasmine Star announced on her blog that she would have a very important announcement the following day. What could this be?! A workshop?? No way. That would be something that would happen only in MY DREAMS! So I faithfully waited by my Google Reader all day waiting for this announcement. Waited patiently for Jasmine’s name to be bolded in my reader indicating a new message for me. Nothing. What the heck, Jasmine? I’m on the edge of my seat! Finally I ventured directly over to her blog. It was there!! The announcement! THE WORKSHOP! I quickly read through the whole website and thought about how quickly my husband would bury my body if I signed up for ANOTHER workshop. I was simultaneously Instant Messaging my friend “Should I do it? Should I do it?” And she knows, oh she knows how much Jasmine inspires me so she said “Just do it, you know you’ll regret it if you don’t.” I will regret it. I will TOTALLY regret not doing it. So I handed over all my information and went through another round of waiting for the confirmation that I was quick enough on the draw to be one of the lucky twenty to get in. I got in :) !!! Then I had to wait two months for it to come! But all the waiting was soooooo worth it!

On Tuesday, March 10th twenty of Jasmine’s biggest admirer’s gathered in the clubhouse of Jasmine’s housing community in Irvine, CA. Together we learned about branding in every sense of the word. We got to shoot alongside Jasmine as she shared exactly what was going on in her head. And finally we saw how she processed her images. It was an amazing day. Jasmine is even more inspiring in real life. And her family is amazing. Her husband JD is so sweet and caring. Jasmine’s mom is so wonderful…I started to get a little sunburned so I asked if she had any sunscreen and she ran out and got me some! Such an amazing, welcoming family! And all of the attendees were fabulous! It was such a great group and I can’t wait to see what they all do next in their businesses!

Jasmine, I hope you don’t hate me for posting the image above. I know you said no pictures of you talking or doing anything weird but I just love this one! I would give anything to remember what you were talking about right at this moment.

Here are the images I got of our beautiful models, Brittany and Zack.
