Upcoming Speaking Engagement...

I am excited and gearing up for one of the biggest speaking engagements I have done... WPPI! This will be the first year I will have spoken as a Platform Speaker at the Wedding and Portrait Photographers International photography convention in Las Vegas this coming February! This is a huge opportunity for me and I hope to see a lot of you fellow photographers there! Thanks to White Glove, Shoot Q, and Pixel2Canvas for your very generous, gracious and most-appreciated sponsorship.

And again, thank you all for your continued support.

Keep'N it Fresh!

Hi all! I'm back from a great Pictage conference in LA and am already excited for the next speaking engagement. Coming up in a few weeks, I'll be the featured speaker for 4 education-packed days at the Keep N it Fresh workshop! We'd love to see all of you photographers out in Kansas October 20-23, 2008. Here's some verbiage from their site...

Are you ready to take your photography business to the next level?

Wondering how to reach the privileged masses from your own backyard?

Internationally recognized photographer Corey McNabb shares his secrets for creating rock star demand in a hometown locale.

After taking on SoCal’s Hollywood scene for more than a decade, McNabb successfully transplanted celebrity rates to his hometown of Asheville, N.C. — population 75,000.

McNabb shares professional secrets during a powerful hands-on workshop that will help you book more sessions, shoot on the fly, edit like a master and market like a pro.

Tuition includes:

• Four days of interactive training with Corey McNabb as he takes participants through hands-on workflow. From artfully closing a consultation to managing an editing backlog, McNabb will free you to learn more and earn more.
• Workshop sessions with a think-on-your-feet approach to on-site shooting, natural lighting techniques, web-based client management and color correction software.
• Break-out sessions with marketing and accounting consultants who specialize in strategic business planning for photographers.
• Professional models.
• Most of your meals, and transportation to and from session locations.

Who should attend:

• Photographers who want to grow their businesses and better manage workflow.
• Professionals ready to invest in real-world techniques designed to unleash artistry and improve income.
• Photographers who want to build a professional network of resources.
• Trendsetters ready for a chance to win more than $6,000 in industry-chic prizes.

I’m all fired up! I’m on my way to Vegas for WPPI. I’m in the Charlotte airport right now waiting to board my flight. This will be my first WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographer’s International) convention and I’m really looking forward to it. Though the convention itself should prove to be interesting, I’m mostly looking forward to seeing some of my friends again....and making some new ones!

One new friend that I’ve yet to meet is Dustin Izatt. Why is he a friend already without having met him? Because he and his wife were gracious enough to share their room with me tonight. The guy that booked our rooms for the trip was not able to get a room for me for tonight....and I just found this out last night! Yikes. I tried every possible website to get a room: priceline, orbitz, hotels.com, kayak, cheaptickets, the list goes on and on, and unless I wanted a 5-star suite for $600 a night, there was no room in Vegas to be had! I had quite the panic attack today trying to get a room and I sent out emails to about everybody I could think of that was already in Vegas...I even emailed Mike Colon. I just want to say THANK YOU to all of you that came together and helped me find a room!!! Nathan and Amber Holritz, Bruce Mayhill, and many others. But especially to Regina Holder who went the extra mile to help me and also put me in touch with Dustin. Thanks again!

On a personal note, I’m excited to say that I bought a new car yesterday! I finally let the Benz go...she’ll be sadly missed! I do love the new car though! It’s a Lexus...my first Japanese car. I’ll post some photos and more info when I get the chance, or when I get back to NC. What a bummer to buy a new car then fly out the next day to be gone a week...at least my wife will get to enjoy it while I’m gone!
