“The Speedlites Workshop is a long, 12 hour day that will be jammed packed full of learning, eating, shooting and more eating:) By the end of the day you’ll be beyond excited about shooting with your Speedlites. You’ll learn to shape your Speedlites with grids, para reflectors, umbrellas, snoots, gels, soft boxes and a beauty dish made specifically for Speedlites.” - JVS
...and more dates are coming:)

Hey party people... the photo booth photos are finally available for your viewing (and ordering) pleasure! I first want to thank Jennifer Domenick from Snapshot Studio for providing the super fun photo booth for the 10th annual [ b ] party. She was so nice to offer to loan us a booth for the night, but she also came over, set it up and then broke it down at the end of the night. The thing is so easy to set up and break down, and it all fits in a convenient carrying case. Check it out at:
I also want to thank the good people at WHCC for not only being the exclusive sponsor for our party, but also for offering all of you wonderful folks a free print of the party pics. Just use PARTYPIC10 at check out before the end of April to claim your print.
Where do you enter that coupon code you ask, why at the check out stage of the shopping cart of course! When you are done browsing through the party pics, make sure you check out the demo of the soon to be released Pick Pic Proof Pro. It's hands down the absolute best online proofing solution on the planet. If you don't agree... go see you doctor and ask him to adjust your meds. I am serious folks... I am so excited for Proof Pro and I will be making many videos showing you how we are using it to make tons of money in the coming months! Stay tuned!
Without further adieu... here are a few of my favorite images from the party. Click on any of them to be taken to the gallery to browse the rest.
In case y'all missed the Photographers Ignite presentation at WPPI, you can watch mine here. But before you do, I want to tell you that this was one of the hardest speaking engagements I've ever had to do. I have no problems going on and on for hours on end, chatting, telling stories and sharing my experiences. But when you only give me 5 minutes, and not just any 5 minutes, but 20, 15 seconds slots to fill... that was quite a challenge. Add that to the fact that my voice was pretty much shot (still is) and the lack of sleep that I had leading to the last day of WPPI... well... no more excuses... here it is...
I hope that next year Photographers Ignite will kick off WPPI. You can also watch the rest of the incredible performances here:
Sorry for the delay folks, but I am still trying to recover and catch up from WPPI. If you showed up to the headshot shoot on the strip, you can browse the gallery to find your mug. You can download the full resolution image(s) of your choosing by mousing over the right side of the image and then clicking the appropriate size you wish to download. Use these images with my compliments. Party pics will be up later this week.
If you haven't heard about it yet, you have now and will certainly be hearing about this in the coming weeks and months. Escalate 2010 has been announced and I am so pleased to be a part of it. My good friend Dane Sanders has been working hard to organize this 2 day conference and it's happening right here in Southern California on May 17th & 18th. We've got 7 dynamic speakers over two days sharing, inspiring, motivating and teaching. I think it's going to be an incredible opportunity to connect and grow.
Our goal is to inspire and equip you with the tools & knowledge you need to succeed. I know personally that whenever I do a speaking engagement, a seminar or a workshop, I always tell people that I am doing my very best to pretend that I am a motivational speaker and no matter how great the information that I share is (and trust me... it's gold) it's only useful if you put it into practice. I am all about getting people to take action and that is what Escalate 2010 is all about.
Tickets are only $249, which is a screaming deal for a 2 day conference. There are actually a handful of $179 tickets left, but those will sell out soon. Get yours:
Hey friends, to help promote his speaking engagement at WPPI this coming Sunday, my good friend Joe Photo is giving away 500 copies of his "Show & Tell 2" DVD, all you have to do is pay for the shipping in handling. He has given [ b ] Schoolers the first chance to take advantage of this offer as it will be mass emailed by many of his sponsors and the album companies that helped him with his presentation tomorrow, so act fast if you want a copy.
The DVD follows Joe as he shoots real weddings and he also lets you inside of his head via voiceover to let you know what was going through his mind in certain situations. It's the closest most people will ever get to second shooting with this incredible photographer and business man. Click the promo below to claim your free copy and find out a little more about Joe's upcoming WPPI presentation.
FYI, I will certainly be at Joe's talk on Sunday as he shares with you Brand New Albums from the hottest companies. There will be prizes and giveaways and plenty of information and inspiration. Be ready to explore and compare new album possibilities from materials to layouts, all in one place! Additionally, Joe will share with you ways to increase your wedding album sales and make your clients love you. Are you ready for a creative boost? Join him on Sunday to kick off a great week in Las Vegas.
(FYI, you don't enter the promo code until like the 3rd or 4th checkout page)
