Hey everyone! Well it is hard to believe it has been almost 3 months since my shoulder surgery but in one week I will be back up and running, ready to take on shoots again! YAY! A big thanks to the Titan's doc, Dr. Burton Elrod, for doing an amazing job on my shoulder. I honestly cannot believe how quickly it has healed and how small my scars are!
So what have I been doing with all of my time off, you ask? Well, for starters I just got back from the WPPI photography convention in Las Vegas, where I learned some amazing new techniques and got to test out all of the industry's newest and greatest products. I caught up with my friend/hero Joe McNally , my friend/superblogger Syl Arena , and my photojournalist friends including Eric Parsons , Dana Rene and many others. It was a great time and I learned sooo much!
I am totally stoked about this new year, it is going to be our best year ever. Not only have I had time to brainstorm and come up with some great ideas and techniques, but I have also upgraded my camera gear so that your photos are the absolute best they can be! We also have been getting ultra organized around the office so that from now on everything will run much smoother around there.
As of March 1st we will also be welcoming Mandy Whitley as our studio manager! Mandy has been working with us for 2 years as an assistant and associate photographer and we are very excited that she will be taking over this position. I feel that we have come to the point where we need regular office hours to better serve you all, so Mandy will be in the studio Monday-Thursday/Friday 9-1 pm to oversee everything. Brooke has done an AMAZING job of holding the fort down for the past few years, but with her adorable new baby it is a little too hard for her to come in every day. Of course Brooke will still be with us, we are just shifting her responsibilities a bit so that she can be at home with Averie a little more. :) She will still be available for all of your photo shoots and she will be helping out with all of the behind-the-scenes projects such as processing and retouching! Speaking of Brooke and Averie, check out how adorable Averie is! This is one of the latest photos Brooke took of her... She is just cute as a button!
Soo... I feel a contest coming on to celebrate all of the good news! Stay tuned, either tomorrow or Tuesday I will be posting all of the juicy details on our next free giveaway....
Cheers :)
