Exposure Down Under - videographers conference

Training is important to me, as I feel a true professional has to keep up to date with industry standards and the latest trends and equipment.  For three days at the end of the month I am attending Exposure Down Under in Sydney for wedding video professionals.  With four workshops a day, it will be brain overload, but it is a great chance to meet with other like minded videographers and to pick the brains of the leaders in the industry.  I am looking forward to it. www.styleproductions.com.au

Huge week - photography Wagga Wagga

What a huge week it has been, TRAC Year 10 formal on Wednesday, with the girls looking young, gorgeous and ever so stunning in their short cocktail dresses and the young men very handsome dressed in elegant suits.  Wagga High Year 12 graduation on Tuesday night, with the girls very sophisticated in long flowing gowns and the guys looking so grown up.  I had a ball at both events and took some fantastic photos of both groups.

I am so excited to have achieved accreditation with the Institute, their criteria is demanding and exacting and I am happy to have been accepted.

The aims of the Institute is to set a very high benchmark, so that those who achieve accreditation will enhance the professional photographic industry and allow the public to feel comfortable that their professional photographer has high standards and ethics

PMA Expo - photography Wagga

After 3 hectic days and travelling I have now fully recovered from the total injection of photography equipment, seminars, and  how to's that is PMA.
Although a lot smaller than last time, I found the seminars and classes aimed at both the novice and the professional photographer were fantastic and I gained a lot, received another shot in the arm for the career that I love and came away ready to take on the world.
Not only is the show a great way to network with other like minded photographers, but the classes and lecturers were fantastic, not to mention being able to play with the new equipment and then resist the temptation to blow your gadget budget for the year in one go.
I now can't wait for the wedding season to begin again in earnest in August to start implementing my new ideas and new equipment.
Well done the organisers and members of PMA

Too busy to blog

What a week, two families for Kids in Frames shoots. I just love the kids, they relax and have a great time and we all have a laugh and giggle and play games, including the Mums and Dads.  The male glamour shoot was great fun.  Geoff brought along his snazzy white Toyota sports car, we found an old barn and the shoot was terrific. 
The photo shoot with Lauren and her man and little nine month old boy was fantastic.  He was such a happy little boy
With only 6 weeks to go Kirsty's baby bump shoot started in the paddock full of long grass and with the wind blowing it was a great natural look.
A photo shoot with a very elegant elderly lady Elaine, on Friday afternoon and a wedding out of town on Saturday finished the week.
Two birthdays, a christening in the family filled up the weeks diary to make it extremely busy.
