    Wanna hang out?

    - September 18th, 2008

    Ever wish you could sit down with a cup of coffee and get some tangible help on how to make your photo life work better for you? Ever feel like you’re beating your head against a wall and just need a little help to get perspective?

    I like coffee!

    Recently, I’ve been stoked to notice a lot of people taking the initiative to reach out for help like this. But, until now I haven’t really had a good way to really carve out intentional time! I’m excited to announce that I think we have that worked out now.

    Book a Consult Today!

    I’ve decided to start offering 20 minute consults on a limited bases. All topics are fair game!

    You can get answers on everything including…

    • signature vs. freelance branding
    • shooting techniques
    • lighting
    • pricing
    • marketing
    • decision making
    • business strategy
    • workflow
    • equipment & vendor selection
    • & much more!

    You will also be asked to take your pDNA before the consultation so I can get a chance to review your results and give you the most out of your time together. If you haven’t taken the pDNA yet, no problem. A FREE test is included. That’s not all either - see the bonus below!

    All the details on how it works can be found here!

    *Bonus: Everyone who books a Consult will also receive a FREE Fast Track Photographer Audiobook as well as a FREE pDNA for yourself or to share! I’ll even throw in a FREE eBook so you can follow along as I read to you!

    After purchase of the consult, I’ll be emailing you a code to redeem everything listed!

    Again, because of my other commitments I will only be offering a handful of slots so if you’re at all interested, I’d really encourage you to confirm your spot today!

    I hope this helps!

    Getting shot shooting

    - July 22nd, 2008

    I love shooting… and sometimes it’s even fun to get shot shooting.

    I always laugh at how goofy I can look and every time I do I appreciate better what it’s like for all our clients. Why not invite a friend to shoot you shooting to see what it feels like? Or better yet, why not be a model for a day and take it all in. You’ll be surprised what you learn about how to set your clients up to win.

    Anyway, here’s what I was up to when David Hessemer caught me live, connecting with Erin and Austin…

    Lindye & Winn Rock’d!

    - June 1st, 2008

    shake it like a polaroid picture!

    I just shot one of my all time favorite weddings!

    Lindye and Winn (and their families and wedding party and …) were just spectacular. It was one of those days that just shows up once in a while. If you didn’t get a chance to be at the wedding in person, check out their reception slideshow below!

    I also got to enjoy shooting today with my friend Robert Evans which absolutely raised the value. Can you imagine having Robert as your second shooter? It was insane. What an amazing experience to shoot along side him … total class act. We also got some fun footage for his upcoming DVD specifically for 2nd Shooters. I dare you to check out his stuff over at Photographer Mentor. He’s hitting it out of the park over there. And, stay tuned for his DVD.

    Thanks again Lindye and Winn! What a fantastic time. This was their getaway shot. So fun!

    Exit strategy!

    Shake it like a polaroid picture.

    PS … It’s a big shooting month. Next week is Jen and Aaron’s wedding in Santa Barbara. I can’t wait!
