This is just a quick post about what is going on around the studio that relates to senior portraits. No, it isn't too late for senior portraits! That is the question we always here this time of the year. Ok, now to get back on track. A couple of weeks ago the Professional Photographers of America had a convention in New Orleans that I went to so that we could be up on the newest trends for this year. These conventions and conferences are a great way to stay current on technology, backgrounds and trends in photography and learn from some of the best photographers in the world today. It is also a great place to meet up with friends. Something I heard last year that was pretty good was this – "Because of the influx of horrible photographers, there has never been a greater need for good photography!". Since the beginning of my photography career, I say that because that is what this is for me, education has been a very important thing for me to continue to strive for. So in that vein this weekend I am off again to a Senior portrait conference at St. Pete Beach, Florida. This is one of the best that I have found for senior photographers anywhere, and the food is good too. Another great thing about the timing of this conference is that over the next few weeks we will be having our senior model meetings for our models for the class of 2013. In the past we have come back with new backgrounds, ideas for new sets as well as exciting new locations and poses. This year we already are planning some new locations for our Senior Safari's, several new props and sets as well as some fun changes to our model program. I can't wait to see what kinds of new ideas come home with me after this weekend!
