Ulysses and I regularly travel for seminars, as well as to find the newest and best products out there. We just returned last week from a photography trade show and convention in Las Vegas, and we thought you might enjoy hearing about it.
When we arrived, we were very excited to see our work featured prominently by two of our favorite vendors. One of our bookmakers used a photo of one of our couples in the ocean as the backdrop for the entire booth (about 10 feet wide!), and also had our album on display. Our canvas supplier also used one of our pictures to display their gorgeous canvas wraps – the photo wraps around the sides of the 1-1/2″ thick frame to create a ready-to-hang art piece. We were also excited to meet Gina Alexander in person. We were just recently accepted to carry her line of gorgeous designer handbags and wallets, and it was great to examine the bags in person and have Gina demonstrate to us their high quality features.
Besides being able to attend some great seminars, we also did some teaching while we were there. Five photographers signed up to mentor with us for 1/2 hour each, and 100% of the proceeds went to the Vision for Tomorrow Foundation, assisting children with poor vision. It was wonderful spending the week with photographers from all around the world, learning from and inspiring each other. We came back infused with ideas, refreshed and ready for a great new wedding season!
