What a week with Sigma Ambassador .fairyography! 🌸📸

Heather led three hands-on workshops with our Samy’s community. We started in the studio, shaping light to bring flowers to life. Next came a Maternity Photography workshop. Then we wrapped up the week outdoors at Descanso Gardens, capturing the tiny details of petals and botanicals up close.

Attendees also got to test Sigma lenses and learn Heather’s techniques firsthand.

Thank you, Heather Larkin, and to everyone who joined us! Swipe to see some highlights from the week. 👉
