Last month I had the pleasure of attending Mike Colon’s 777 workshop! We had such a awesome time, I learned SO MUCH! and was so grateful that Mike shared his pearls of wisdom with us. I thank god for giving me this opportunity in life! Mike thank you so much for everything and your hospitality. Here are a few images we shoot at the Pelican Hill Golf Club with the amazing view of the ocean!
