jaclyn and i would like to say a HUGE thank you and congratulations to eric and nicky from eight20 photography for being our first ever private one day . your way shootshop participants!!! we all had a great time hanging out together all day and we were so proud of eric and nicky for taking this big step for their business...i wish we were that smart when we started! it was really awesome to be able to tailor our instruction and advice just to their situation and needs.

i am sure we left them with heads spinning full of information, but they made time to send us the sweetest note that evening :)


Hey Nate and Jaclyn,

Thank you so much for today! We had a great time and learned so much. We have a lot of stuff to do, but think that we have a good idea of our next move and a good business plan. You really helped us find out what we can do, and who we can become. Thanks again, it was really great meeting you guys!

Eric and Nicky


among all the chit chat we headed out for a quick photoshoot to demonstrate how we shoot and interact with clients. we were sure to show our "make something out of nothing" techniques so we shot basically the entire session in 100 square yards behind a liquor store :) a special thanks to two of our favorite clients michael and nellie for coming out at the last minute and modeling for us! after we shot around for a while we headed back to the studio to talk about raw processing and some photoshop magic :) here's a few of our images....

one last shot of the crew! from left to right...nicky, eric, yours truly, super jaclyn, michael, and nellie.
