WPPI Rocks!
WPPI Rocked!
I am back, safe and sound from Vegas…. nothing like a week with 10,000 of my closest photographer friends. www.wppionline.com there was over $150,000 SF of tradeshow….. I was a kid in a candy store!
I am so excited about the new products i will be offering this year in 2009.
Finao- High end albums and preview boxes. www.finao.com I fell in love with them a few years ago, but don’t like to rock the boat on my albums. Their custom made preview boxes and their “shower glass” door custom wedding album are just to die for! All top of the line materials, hand made high end albums, that I know my clients will LOVE!!!! I can’t wait for my studio samples to arrive! And the best news of all… I will include them as an option to all my clients at no additional charge from the Leather Craftsmen pricing. Minor upgrade costs for the two tone albums and glass covers will apply. Pricing to come later this month.
Modern Books- small 5×5 and 7×7 replicas of your bridal album for the parents. These albums are clones of the brides album, but not hard bound like Leather Craftsmen or Fiano albums. This is a great affordable option for your parents without investing $2k on another album. Pricing to come on these in the next month.
A New website….. YES!!!! I am so excited! Hopefully it will be LIVE in about 4-6 weeks!
It was great to see lots of my friends and colleagues who have taught me so much over the years. I always leave vegas every year inspired to think outside the box and push my photography to another level. Don’t be surprised to see me pull out the Flash gun this year!
I just loved being up close and learning from my favorite photographers…. Yervant, Jerry Ghionis, Melissa Messina, Bambi Cantrell, Joe Buissink, Ryan Schembri, Matthe Jordan Smith… If you don’t know these masters…. do a quick google… you will be blown away!
Gary Fong and I talked about our plans for rabbit farms again…. Pictage entertained their partners at Studio 54… it was so much fun…. thanks pictage! and Nikon had a private concert from Blues Traveler band….. holy cow! What fun we had! What more could you ask for. And I must say….. after ten years of WPPI, I am so happy that they moved to MGM…. so much nicer than Bally’s!
Below are a few fun pics from my palm phone.

Blues Traveler Band……
Gotta love the hooters view! I remember staying there tons of times when I was a flight attendant! but it wasn’t hooters then…. San Remo hotel…. hopefully they fixed their horrid ventilation system!
Purdy clouds……
I am off spending time with my hubby and kids, washing the nasty casino cig smoke smell out of my clothes and catching up on my sleep.
I will be back in the studio on Monday!
