Image Quest 2010


For the past 3 days I have been at the Image Quest 2010 photography conference in Richmond. Let me tell you, my brain is stuffed full of business goodness! I am excited to implement some new ideas and practices into my business.

I am also totally exhausted too! Wow. I have forgotten what its like to sit in class all day long learning. On Sunday night my friend Jillian and I spent the evening at the River Rock Resort Hotel where the conference was being held. What a lovely room and ooooohhh yeah, the bed was terribly comfy. Sooo comfortable, we had a hard time getting up in the morning.

There were 5 speakers in all at the conference. Local wedding photographers Miranda and Reilly Lievers of Blue Olive Photography gave a great talk on social media. While Dane Sanders and Jasmine Star from California gave inspirational talks about life, business and of course, photography. All 4 of these people are very successful photographers in the wedding industry and people I look up to. I was so glad to have the opportunity to hear them speak, for them to share ideas and tips with me and to inspire me to grow my business!

I also got to meet a lot of new photographers and people I follow on Twitter and Facebook! I had a great time hanging out and lunching with my fellow 'togs! That time was just as valuable to me as the conference itself!

I am bursting with ideas and for now I will leave you with this image, because no post is a good post without an image! Its a picture of my Dad at last week's Irish Rovers Concert. I took him for his birthday and my friend Kevin is the photographer for the meet and greets! Thanks again Kevin for slipping us in!
