Welcome to Phellowship!!!

For Photographers

A few months ago, Monica, from Monica Brown Photography (one of my best photographer friends!) and I joined forces to create a community styled shoot. Monica and I had so much fun planning & executing this event!  We dreamt for months about creating a space to network with and really get to know other photographers. While it’s nice to know about other photographers, it’s a whole new ballgame when you get to know them on a personal level – I think the attendees would agree that this was one of the best parts! We coordinated with 17 local vendors and invited 10 local photographers to attend for an intimate setting that allowed enough time to fully capture all that the shoot had to offer. We wanted to create an event that brings a variety of creatives together in a way that is uplifting, encouraging and fun! I may be biased, but I think we did just that! haha We cannot wait to share the official images from this shoot, but for now, here are some behind the scenes of the very first Phellowship! These are a combo of Monica’s and my images, with a few behind the scenes pictures of me from Stephanie from Stephanie Brann Photography. Be sure to check out all the talented vendors listed & how you can join future events below!!

Thanks, Stephanie for these fun BTS shots of me!! I LOVE this one of me and Monica!! Thanks Stephanie! Everyone holds their camera so differently! haha That’s what made this event so fun. We all learned from each other, not matter how experienced (or in experienced) we were! Thanks for theses fun BTS shots, Stephanie! Clearly I forgot about the name tags on my jeans haha
