#602 Seniors!!
Hi everyone-
Anxiously awaiting the snow's arrival here in PA today. They say it's a sure thing but you know how that goes. I suppose we will get some snow but more than likely not as much as I would like to see.
But looking forward, I wanted to share a video with everyone of my High School Seniors Portfolio. It is definitely time to book for these sessions. So drop me a line or ring me up if you have any questions or would like to schedule a shoot. Also for those of you who do not fit the HS senior demographic (lol) please pass along my information as sessions will begin to fill up soon!!!
Hope you enjoy the video! Have a great snowy day!!

#601 Swan Lake Storm
Hi everyone-
Today's image was shot in the Swan Lake Flats area of Yellowstone National Park this past fall.
I had left the park for a few days but decided to come back and spend a little more time when word of an impending snow storm began to spread.
I lucked out a bit and the park received a fair amount of snow.
As the storms began to clear out I headed to Swan Lake Flats in hopes of seeing wolves but that didn't really pan out. I did get to watch the beautiful landscape of the area begin to wake up from the snow.
This was only a momentary laps in the storm as it turns out and later in the day we received a lot more snow.
Have a great day!

#600 Burn Notice
Hi everyone-
Back in March of '09 I got a notice that there was going to be a structural burn training held at the York County Fire Training School. I thought it would be fun to go up and catch some shots of the departments involved in the training.
Until recently I forgot that I even went up and shot these images. However I have recently started to organize and relocate some images and while I was doing so I came across the fire from that day.
Since it's been a while since I have shot anything fire department related I thought it would be a good change of pace.
Here are a few of the images that I shot that day. Hope you enjoy.
Have a Great Day!

#597 BB King Blues Club House Band
Hi everyone-
Another quick post today cause there are more things to do than hours to do them....
These images were shot in Nashville at the DWF party last Sunday night. The band is the BB King Blues Club house band. We were originally scheduled to be there but a 30 inch water main break out front changed that plan.
The event was moved to a different venue but the band came a long which was very cool. They were awesome!
Have a great day!!!

#596 PPA and DWF Nashville
Hi everyone-
Last week I was in Nashville for the Professional Photographers Association (PPA) convention. It was a great opportunity to learn from some top notch photographers who also have top not business and marketing skills.
I attended a two day seminar on the business side of photography that covered just about everything you need to know to really start your business on a solid foundation and grow it from there.
Ann Monteith and Carol Andrews Jenson were the instructors for that class and really did an excellent job. I some great information from the class as well as a good base line for where I need to go from here.
The third day was a marketing class that was taught by Jeff and Allison Rodgers and Carol Andrews Jenson. They were awesome. They covered just about every avenue of marketing that a photographer could utilize. They had tons of great ideas. Again I got everything I need to build upon for a good marketing plan.
On the 4th day I met up with Bryan Allen and assisted him along with Ted in shooting a stop motion tilt shift video of the Digital Wedding Forum (DWF) convention at the Lowes Hotel in downtown Nashville.
This was both a challenge and a fantastic learning experience. There is nothing like putting yourself in front of some of the best wedding and portrait photographers in the world and shooting in a way you never have before!! But it was tons of fun. We shot for 11 hours before breaking off to do a little personal shooting and partying at the DWF party.
There is a lot to tell about the week and what I learned but that will have to wait. Until then here are a few images from the DWF party.
Have a great day!
