I just returned home from the WPPI
Photography Conference and my head is spinning. So many ideas, so much
to do - I don't even know where to begin.
The experience was mind blowing for me - not only did I get a full day of learning from two photographers I greatly admire - Amelia and Justin Lyon - but I also had four full days of workshops (two led by the talented Jory Cordy, Fred Egan and Lara Casey) and trade show mayhem as photographers scrambled to try out all of the new Canon gear and "ooohing" and "ahhhhing" over all the album companies.
One big moment for me was when I heard Elizabeth Messina speak. She didn't talk about the technical stuff behind how to make a good photograph, she talked about being an artist - how to grab your passion and truly be authentic and truly you through all of your photographs. So I have a new goal for myself this year - be me...and figure out exactly what that means.
Here are a couple snippets of my days...they are all a blur of talking, talking, taking pictures and more talking...
*thank you to Margaret for taking this pic of me!

I am off! To Sin City, Nevada for a week of learning and having fun at the annual WPPI Conference. Not only is this my first time to go to Vegas, but this is my first year attending the conference - I am STOKED. Wish me luck!
To give you some cute pictures to look at for a week, I decided to showcase my sister-in-law's cat, Franklin (aka Frankles). He is truly a liger, with a huge flowing mane and paws the size of my fists...he is surprisingly very photogenic.
Have a great week!

A couple weeks ago, the pack got back together and even had some fresh new faces! I absolutely love getting together with other photographers in Houston, not only because I make new friends, but I am allowed to completely and utterly geek out on photography gear. That's right, I said it. I like to talk about the new photography gossip out in the market. You knew every industry had to have it, right?
Here are some shots from our day! The amazing couple Kimberly and Chris were our models as we scavenged for cool walls in Downtown Houston.
There are a lot of us shooting, sometimes my pictures looked more like this...hi Alex!
Chris kept us laughing the ENTIRE time...
Love this one...
Hi Margaret!
Did I mention that Kimberly is drop dead GORGEOUS?!
