ShutterFest 2018 Review

So about 3 months ago, Colt told me about the HUGE photo conference called ShutterFest. After doing some research I bought a ticket! I just got back from the show and was VERY impressed, tired, excited, sore, and optimistic! There were some amazing speakers, models and vendors there! I took only marketing and business classes and was pleased with what I took away from there.

VENDORS

So many vendors! It was really nice to see some of the photo lab examples in person! I have changed some vendors I work with JUST because I was able to see their examples in my hand!

Models!

Models EVERYWHERE! There were so many models walking around are ready to shoot! I got lots of different faces and different looks while I was there! 17 models total in three days!! I am VERY pleased!

My Kinda People

For 4 days I was surrounded by creative people! Everyone had ideas and most had no problem sharing with others! Several of the speakers all had the same ideas… so I am taking that as law now I am following their advice! My daughter, Evie, will be starting a YouTube series on camera basics and as she gets older, she will teach more and more advanced classes. I am VERY proud of her! The first video is already live! You can see it here:

Things are changing…

Thats right! I am changing almost EVERYTHING. Website is getting redesigned, my fee structure, my portfolios… EVERYTHING! By now I have completed most of the changes. My first FB ad went live TONIGHT!!!

GOALS

Yeah, I have goals! WYOMING again this year. I want to take my motorcycle to California next year. I need to see Hawaii… Its been on my mind for years. SOMETHING is out there and I need to see it. I need to find something there.
