on the count of three, everyone say “hey” to our new intern, ERICA!! 1…2..2 1/2….3…

erica has actually been with us now since the second week of january, but this past week was the first time she was able to be with us when we had our cameras out….in the freezing cold…

so how did luck strike us with someone like erica?! she asked if she could do an internship with us at the perfect time!! and it was such a nice email, we simply had to meet her. and it’s all history from there. and what exactly does an intern for STUDIO 6.23 do? well, she’s helping us develop our intern program of course honestly, we feel that while learning photography and editing is very important, we’re focusing our internship program on learning what’s involved with running a photography business….what happens behind the curtain…and what keeps photographers up on facebook so late at night. blogging. workflow. processing orders. and the list goes on.

so today we’re giving a shoutout to erica, our first intern, who has been absolutely amazing and has set the bar very high!!
