Professional Photographer Magazine Feature!

Last August, my friend Andi and I hosted a workshop in Tampa to help photographers and aspiring photographers understand the steps to creating a successful photography business.  Our profession is amazing, but most people who are just starting or want to get into the industry have no idea what it actually takes to do what we do professionally and make a living doing it!  So, we launched the Elevate Workshop and it was amazing!  We will probably do another one this summer!  Professional Photographer Magazine recognized our efforts to help elevate our market in Tampa by doing a little article in the magazine in February, so that is pretty awesome!  It's always an honor when the largest professional photographer association recognizes what we do. 

Imaging USA 2013!

Professional Photographers of America has an amazing annual conference each January where thousands of photographers from all over the world come together to learn, see all the lastest products and technology, and some pretty awesome parties.  Imaging is held in a different city each year, and is a great place to re-charge, get lots of inspiration for the New Year, and make some new friends!  It's helped me take my business to the next level.  I am so excited to be one of the instructors this year!! I'll be teaching the 2 day Wedding Basics workshop and sharing lots of insite on what it takes to build a successful wedding business and pretty much anything related to wedding awesomeness.  You can find lots more info HERE. Hope to see you there!

Photography Success Elevated

On August 14 Andi Diamond and I welcomed a group of local Tampa area photographers to Datz Deli to ELEVATE their photography businesses.  It was day of learning, math, self actualization, and yummy Datz delicious food!  Our goal was to empower our attendees with the necessary tools  to run successful photography businesses.  Through education and peer support the class was armed with the know-how of what it takes to make their numbers work and profit margins soar.   Thanks to everyone who attended and to our valued sponsors who provided us with some swag:Menual Art, Pinhole Pro, Studio Cloud, Pikartz, Studio Seasoning,ProSelect, and Museum Bond. If you missed this workshop, not to fear...keep your eyes peeled for our next ELEVATE Workshop in the spring!
