Skip's Summer School - Las Vegas

Ex Wppi president and close personal friend of mine, Skip Cohen invited me along with 15 other speakers from the US to be part of the Skip's Summer School. It was the biggest gathering of photographers in the summer. Skip has started his own company; Marekting Essentials International. Check it out www.mei500.com
It was an intimate event with everyone presenting in the same room and even the speakers having the chance to learn from each other.

Nothing like a big group shot...





My good friends Bambi Cantrell and Jim Garner, showed a spoof video of their so called, "Jim and Bam's posing School." It was hilarious! This is my reaction. I'll post a link if i find it...





Guess who's featured in the following pics? (Photographed by Bambi Cantrell.





If you get the chance, attend Skip's Summer School in 2010. It's the best compliment to the big conventions in winter. Anything the Skip does is worth attending.

Sally's dream comes true! Paris Shoot

Having known Sally-Ann Sargood, my personal assistant and good friend for over 7 years and working for me for over 4 years, I knew that she always wanted to be photographed by me in Paris. After years in helping me to bring out the best in my clients and subjects, it was my pleasure to finally bring out the best in her. From the Tracadero overlooking the Eiffel Tower to the streets where the movie “Amelie was filmed, we had an awesome time although it did feel weird that I was seeing Sally on the other side of the camera. We shopped for her cute hat and umbrella in the quaint streets of St Germain. Her gorgeous black dress was from Neiman Marcus and her red Manolo Blahnik's were a gift from Georgina and I.

The Paris workshop in 2008 was truly one of my career highlights. I had to relive it in 2009 with some new friends. I invited two of my favorite couples Alex & Hazel to be my models as well the gorgeous Dave and Charlotte from Toronto. Enjoy!

Yes, the bird is real. No, it wasn't photoshopped in.



























































I witnessed one the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. I was in the subway and walked up to the Champs Elysees and saw this...

2 Engagements Sessions in Paris

I mentioned to a few future wedding clients that I would be in Paris for a workshop and if they could make it on a particular day that I would do their Engagement Session in one of the most romantic cities in the world. Two couples answered the call; Simon & Bianca and Nolan and Ann. Simon's sister is living and working  in Paris (who is a past bride of mine) and Nolan and Ann live and work in Paris and came to Paris for the day. Ah, the pleasure of living in Europe! Check out a few pics...
