These past (almost) two weeks spent in Santa Barbara, California at the United 2013 conference were incredible. No amount of words can begin to describe the experience, the things I learned and the friendships made.

On Saturday when I got home, I realized I had taken over 2,400 images. These are by no means my ”favorites” or ”the best” ones (I haven’t picked yet ;)), but I wanted to share a few images with you. SOO… here are a few from the break out sessions I attended, the shoots we did, and the all-around gorgeous lighting from the week!

PS. Just so you have an idea of what the schedule was like… Monday we had classes all day, then a reception dinner, and ”five minute fuel.” Monday night I had light painting with Matt Kennedy until 12:30am (Tuesday). Woke up at 4:30am Tuesday morning (less than 4 hours later) for the sunrise vineyard shoot. Keynote class. Breakout class. Lunch. Break out class. Keynote class. Sunset yacht shoot. Dinner. Live concert.  Full days, but such a blast! **Fist pump** to coffee! Whoot whoot. ;) Anyways, here are a few photos of what I was up to this week.
