Returning from Imaging USA

I've just returned home from a long 4 days of photography training and expo at Imaging USA held at Tampa's convention center. It was so much fun but non stop learning and discovering everything that is new in the business of photography as well as a lot of how to information. I am so glad I had this opportunity to go, all thanks to an invitation from fellow photographer and friend, Kylene Wayne, (http://www.foreverphotography.us/) from Tallahassee, Fl. She is the best!

We ventured together after we got up every morning at 5 am, had breakfast at 6, and stopped for a Starbucks before class at 7. Oh my oh my.... then another class, and another then we had lunch and explored the expo floor that had 17 rows of vendors. Our legs felt like we had walked the Vegas strip all day. haha! During dinner it was another class and finally we got to eat at nearly 8 every night. By the time we got back to the hotel we wanted to do was go to bed and do it all over again.

I got a lot of inspiration from fellow photographers that shared their stories and their work and also picked up some information on some awesome products that were featured. I can't wait to get it all together and offer these new products to my clients soon.

Below are a few snapshots of me with gal pals, Kylene and Jackie at the Expo.

And this is a dinner pic.. cheese ladies!

Here is some silliness that happens when two photographers are stuck in a tiny hotel room..


Here a few fav images of Kylene from a fun quick session right outside our hotel.....it's always fun to get together and try new things out on your friends.
