Last Tuesday, Julie and I attended the Tots 2 Teens seminar with Sandy Puc'. Sandy is a successful photographer and studio owner from Colorado. The seminar covered everything from marketing to posing. Julie regularly attends seminars like this so she can stay on top of all the newest photography trends. This was only the second seminar I've been to and by far, it was the most informative. Sandy gave us tips on how to pose kids from toddlers to tweens. She also talked about lighting and working out marketing calendars.
After the seminar, Julie and I played with her new 5D Mark IIs and she gave me an impromptu photography lesson. (She always says she's a bad teacher, but I learn so much from her. Not just about photography, but about running a business and professionalism. Don't tell her, but she's a role model for me. That sort of thing would make her all embarrassed:) She taught me about shutter speed, ISO and aperture. I learned about how cameras work and how to take scary ghost pictures by slowing down your shutter.
We wrapped up the night with cold french fries from McDonald's and watching Jimmy Fallon. Julie and I have a slight problem with chit chatting, and we stayed up too late talking about random stuff. I shared a silly story about jumping on the bed at a hotel and taking pictures of it while I was on a trip. It was like a light clicked on in Julie's brain. What's the best way to break in her brand new cameras? Pictures of us jumping on a bed at 1 a.m.! We're grown ups, you know?! You can check those pictures out on our page on Facebook! Here they are!
