Now that things are official, I can say that my upcoming DVD on how I photograph kids will be shot by the fabulously talented Joshua Smith of Cinematic Bride!!!

Check out Josh's stunning video artistry!

Josh will be coming up to Pittsburgh during the lush green time of early May to shoot my DVD - I am beyond thrilled to collaborate with him. The DVD will be an inner peek into how I photograph kids ...no distractions, just me and the child (various models will be used) - I will be teaching at various locations, teaching you why I chose such locations, how to find ideal lighting, country settings, urban settings, interaction, and much more!

Just a reminder, my DVD comes complimentary with all Soulographer 2007 & 2008 Workshops!

Business Bootcamps

The Pittsburgh Business Bootcamp was this past weekend and it was a BLAST! We managed to have good weather ... (for January, mind you - the two folks from Las Vegas & the Bahamas might not have thought so!) ... and I just fell in love w/ the group - great bunch of learners. I guess I talked too much because I lost my voice the next morning. ;c)

Thanks to Jessica Dittmer from Midnight Hour Designs for the cool giveaway prize!!

Looking forward to the last two BB's!

Both the Salt Lake & the Chicago Business Bootcamps will be closed for registration this Friday - no exceptions. Check out dates at the website: http://www.bbootcamp.com
