March Upstate District Meeting Recap!

We had a great meeting last night! Mark Howard is an exceptional presenter, and we had a large group (15+) of new and experienced photographers. I was glad to see some people who had not attended a District Meeting in a while (you know who you are), and we had several first timers!Thanks Bill A., for inviting your former intern!

Mark put on an organized, well-illustrated program on Weddings. He challenged everyone to bring their best to every wedding they contract--regardless of size. Quality posing & lighting and the right equipment are all important! Mitchell stressed the importance of understanding pricing and how it translates into a successful business, and they both agreed that if your studio shoots weddings that PPA Membership is a MUST.

It was a privilege to see Mitchell's new studio--what a creative and professional space. Thanks for all the hospitality (cookies included), Mitchell. And the Jelly Beans were a nice touch too Mark!!

Thanks to everyone else who came out for the meeting. You will probably get sick of me saying this but you get out of PPSC what you put into it, and everyone has something to offer---even in just coming to meetings and participating in the discussion you are giving back! And there is always great informative conversation after the presentation too!
