Month Of May-Hem!

Welcome May! Again, my apologies for neglecting this blog. But I have been hard at work learning new things to benefit all of you. Last night, I attended the PPA Tour 2010 at Boston's Hilton Logan Airport Hotel. I met a lot of vendors, professional labs and so on. The most important part of the evening was meeting 3 very inspirational people who have made a very very big impression on me as well as my business outlook. I first met Allison and Jeff Rodgers who are one of the most profitable and successful couple in the photography business. They brought a lot of insight and even showed us how they have improved over the past 4 years. They taught a lot of important lessons in not only the business aspect of photography, but the ART of it all. They made their points confidently and knowledgeably.
I also had the great pleasure and privilege of meeting celebrity wedding photographer Anthony Vazquez. Not only did he speak about being passionate about our work as artists, but he personally gave me advice on wedding photography. He was incredibly nice and did not leave me wondering how he does his job so well. it was clear that "Passion is contagious" as he put it. All I want to do is run a successful business and create lasting relationships among my clients and future vendors, and because of these three influential people I am confident that I can do that. There are a few photos up on the blog from Allison and Jeff Rodgers, one of which features me sitting in the front row with my fellow photographer friend Jessica. the link is on my Photography by Heather Facebook page and I also pasted it below. I look forward to sharing my new found knowledge and Ideas with you all in the very near future!
