I’m a little behind on posting, but I did want to share about the networking meeting I attended a few weeks ago in Mystic CT. Attended by over 120 photographers from all over the Northeast, it was a great opportunity to meet other professionals. But it wasn’t all drinking and debauchery - some of the best photographers in the country shared some of their secrets and techniques over 12 hours of classroom learning. This was my 2nd year attending, and I get more out of it each year!

Since many of us were arriving the day before the meeting, one local photographer, Mellissa Demille, planned a bridal shoot, complete with models, locations, wardrobe, makeup, etc. I was given the privelege to lead the group that shot at the gorgeous Ender’s Island retreat. I have to tell you, with temperatures nearing freezing and a brisk sea breeze, the models were real troopers to let us pose them so much outside! Best of all, I had the time to practice with some new techniques that I will be able to bring on site to real weddings.
