HOT Happenings I attended the Professional Photographer Associations (PPA) "Imaging USA" conference in Phoenix, AZ in January! As a PPA member I keep up-to-date on the trends & news in the ever-changing digital photography world! Visit http://www.ppa.com/ for more info! At the conference I attended AMAZING workshops & learned from speakers including the infamous Anne Geddes who shared her secrets and love of over two decades of artful childrens' photography. Her passion was contagious!
After 5 hours of training for "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep" I believe I'm prepared to donate my time for bereavement photography thanks to the amazing Sandy Puc and Cheryl Haggard (founders of NILMDTS). If you want to be inspired as well check out their website at http://www.nilmdts.org/)
Lastly, I've officially upgraded and spent a small fortune on a new NIKON D300 and a Tamron high-speed F2.8 lens! I'm prepared for the next level of amazing photography & continuing to expand my knowledge of creative lighting, angles & poses for both beach weddings and senior photography now.
My inspiration My favorite tools of the trade include hip graphics and templates, new Photoshop techniques and actions, and more! Check out these websites:
