I'm REALLY looking forward to Sunday and this seminar/workshop I'm participating in. Not only am I expecting to be completely pumped up for taking on what's left of 2008 and the 2009 year of business but I'm sharing the experience with my another fantastic photographer Margaret McLean of freshimages.ca
update: what makes me most excited about this event is the sharing that I anticipate will take place... I have run into too many photographers that the aspect of sharing and being open and forthcoming with tips, technique etc has been lost as though we are all competing for the same business, the same clients. I don't believe this is the way photography works... I believe that if you love someones work you will pay to be photographed by that person because you want a piece of their artistry, their skill, their talent.
An acquaintance once asked me how she'd know if she was being "ripped off" while they started the search for their wedding photographer... and I told her... if you love someones work that is the price you will pay.
I believe finding a great photographer and loving their work and investing in them and the quality of work they will produce for you is key a fantastic photographer/client relationship. I feel connected to my clients and feel so humbled by having been chosen to photograph them and capture the milestones in their lives.
