Your Neck of the Woods

Let's just get a few things straight: I love people. I love meeting people, laughing with people, and–quite honestly–I'm a great hugger. One of the reasons JD and I travel to speak is because we get to connect on a real level and create friendships…it's one of the best career perks! The next couple months we'll be out and about and I'd be honored to connect with you in your neck of the woods…

HOLLLLLLLA!! Yes, I'm so beyond excited to team up with creativeLIVE again for a FREE online course on how to build a wedding photography business. Feel free to register HERE and mark your calendars for this April 8-9, 2011 event. {For those of you who've been tweeting about it, thank you…I just wanna squeeeeze you!}

I'm incredibly honored to be joining forces with Akron Photo Series for a presentation on Tuesday, March 29, 2011. The three hour program will cover marketing and branding, and JD will be giving away free hugs as well. That's priceless. Trust me. The best news is 10% of ticket proceeds will go to Akron Children's Hospital and I'm honored to be a part of this event. Feel free to register here.

I'm terribly excited to be visiting the East Coast in March and it'll be my first time in Connecticut…ever. Yes, I grew up sheltered and spoiled by the golden sun. I'll be speaking at the CT Professional Photographer's Association Conference, so if you're in or around the Waterbury area (com'on…doesn't that just sound so East Coast and FANCY?!), I'd love to meet you.

Lastly, I'm stoked to be joining my good friend Becker over at The B School Study Hall tomorrow Thursday, February 17, 2010 at 4-5pm PST. I'll be taking your questions LIVE, so feel free to send them to me via Twitter, or you can leave them in the comment box below. The last time I was on, the questions were coming too fast I couldn't keep up…I'll be using questions from this post as a priority. ‘Cause we're cool like dat.

Happy Wednesday!
