I love following other photographers blogs. When I began my business just about 2 years ago I would spend hours pouring over blogs, reading articles on marketing, photographing techniques and tip. I still love reading blogs, and will weekly catch up on my favorite fellow photographers. I just wish I had more time!
During my weekly dose of photo blog reading a couple weeks ago, Jasmine Star, an amazing international wedding photographer, offered a chance to win tickets to WPPI U to hear her speak. On a whim I entered and forgot about it. The next week I found an email from Jasmine telling me I had won! (Thanks Jasmine!)
For those of you who don't know about WPPI, Wedding and Portrait Photographers International, it's a convention held yearly in Las Vegas. I had won tickets to the 3 day WPPI University Convention in Atlanta and then to the major convention in Las Vegas next February.
The convention in Atlanta was one of the most incredible experiances of my photography career. There were over 400 photographers hanging on every word of valuable advise from the presenters. Topics ranged from the creative side of the photography like posing of subjects, lighting, and editing to the important more business side. I took notes like a mad woman! :)
Not only did I learn so much which I will be applying to my business, but also chatted with and made friends with others who are passionate about photography. (Shall share more about a couple really cool gals in a future post.)
