Pictage’s PartnerCon November 3-5

The Big Easy. NOLA. The Crescent City. N'awlins. Whatever you call her, that's where we're bound for the next four days, taking part in Pictage's annual Partner Conference, three days packed with inspirational seminars and hands-on shooting workshops.  I've always wanted to go to New Orleans. It's where I wanted to go on our honeymoon, but my more travelled husband insisted it would be way too hot (wimp) in September, so we didn't go. I'm beside myself with excitement, not only because of the destination, but because of the amazing talent we'll get to learn from and work with in the next few days. People like Joe Buissink, Carlos Baez, Denis Reggie, Lianna Lehman, Jared Platt...I could go on and on. We'll be taking a workshop with the talented husband and wife team from McLellan Style on Wednesday, learning to find the beauty in even the most-utilitarian places (Hello, mega-churches? A little more form with the function would be ever so nice). I know we're going to learn so much while soaking up all the beauty of the French Quarter. But I have no doubt that the most rewarding part of the trip is going to be on Thursday, when we take part in a huge charity photo shoot for 200+ families who lost everything in Hurricane Katrina. NBC is purportedly sending a camera crew to cover the event, so look for us (maybe!) during the second hour of the news on Thursday or Friday. It's going to be awesome!!!

We'll be checking email and returning voice mails as time permits...thanks for your patience if we're not able to get back to you as quickly as we'd like!

Laissez les bons temps roulez!
