Continuing Education!!!!!

Well things are just about to hit 5th gear for me, at least that's what it feels like! I just finished the CTPPA convention last weekend so I'm trying to process all of the great information I've learned. Earlier this year I posted about continuing my education and broadening my photography horizons. I feel committed to all of my past, present and future brides and grooms to do so. I recently booked some seminars that I am totally excited to attend this year. The first being a one day seminar on Feb.20 with Mike Colon and Bob Davis, two of the top tier Wedding Photographers in the industry. Their style, approach, work flow and sense of business will be just a few of the topics that will be discussed. The second I will be attending is a week long hands on workshop with Hanson Fong in Cape Cod between April 6-11. He is known as the master of artistic posing. We will spend 5 days shooting bride and groom models to polish our skills and learn new techniques. And finally, the third one which I can't wait for, is the LaCour Studios Workshop in Atlanta, Georgia from Aug. 18-21. The Title of this one is Branding and Marketing, this will be a complete overhaul on how to take your business to another level.

Needless to say It is going to be an awesome year, I can feel it in my bones! In 39 days Aislinn will be arriving via Erin's belly so things should get interesting. If any of you are going to these seminars let me know, I'd love to meet some new people.

By the way, Erin and I just had what I can consider the best dinning experience we've ever had last night It is in Storrs, CT! The restaurant is called the Altnaviegh Inn. Wow, what great food and trust me I know good food. The price is heavy but the portions and experience is worth it! I had a pan seared Duck breast med. rare, with Smoked Gouda risotto and asparagus and Erin had a combo of Lamb chops and Cornish game hen. Check it out some time, you won't be disappointed!
