Back from WPPI!!

Hey everyone! I'm back from WPPI! Had a great time in Vegas with my best photographer friend, Cherrie! We were non-stop from the get go! Took some classes, met some great Photographers like, Audrey Woulard, Jessica Claire...yea, I even won a pair of Bose Headphones from Jessica!! Thanks Jessica! So sweet of you to give out such wonderful prizes at your seminar! Met Kevin Kubota too....some day I'm going to go to his boot camp!

We also spent some time going through the Trade Show and checking out all the wonderful vendors and deals they had to offer.

I didn't actually meet these awesome photographers, but here are some that I saw and got to listen to them speak or watch them work...Denis Reggie, Joe Buissink, Becker, Ed Pierce, Sandy Puc, David Ziser (met him)...could go on, just too many to list!

I learned so much from these great photographers. The main thing that really stuck in my head was to find your own style, your own niche and do what you love to do. Sooo.....I thought and thought about this and then it clicked in my tiny little brain! I've been doing it all along and didn't realize that I needed to move forward with it!

I've been working with clothing designers now for a couple years doing photo shoots of kids, mostly my youngest daughter and my granddaughters. Now I'm ready to move forward and start working with Modeling Agencies and International clothing lines photographing kids in their clothes! That's what I really love to do. I also love my portrait photography, which I will still be doing also. Gotta love those babies! :O)

So in all this "moving forward", I've been working on creating a new logo. You can check it out in the photo below...on my photography site...tell me what you think? I'm still tweaking it....seeing what I like and what will work...but I think I'm getting there!

So anyone wanting to get some comp cards of their kids, shoot me off an email and we'll get together. I'll be offering some free head shots coming up soon to kick off my new Commercial Photography and build on that Portfolio. If you're a clothing designer wanting to hire me as your photographer, give me a holler!

Tomorrow one of my photos is launching on the cover of the hot Magazine, Tot Trends Weekly, so be sure to check it out!! I'm not sure if it will actually post tomorrow, or if it's on the 25th...but stay tuned!
