Midlands Meeting Info

Hey Everyone,

Heads Up!"
The June 9th Midlands Meeting will be at Patty Hallman's studio in Lugoff.
It will be all about Head Shots.  Bring your own CF card and have your own head shots done that you can take home to use however you'd like... on Facebook, your web site, marketing materials, your husband's or wife's desk, ect.

You know your head shot is outdated, so this is your opportunity to have new ones made--- free of charge and with lots of talented photographers there to make you look fabulous!
And if you don't want headshots of yourself, come watch, learn, and help.  You'll see different photographers style of lighting headshots, get ideas for posing, and have fun.

Patty will have Domino's deliver pizzas at 6pm, so bring $5 and come early to eat pizza, salad and dessert.  We'll start photographing around 6:30pm and will stay as late as needed to make sure everyone who wants headshots gets them done.
Don't forget to bring your own CF card!

RECAP--May Upstate Meeting

Thank you David Lawrence of David Lawrence Photography for presenting an informative session on photographing high school seniors. We had a good crowd of 15--new and old members, and 2 first timers!

And our continued appreciation for Mark Massingill of Rawlins Portratitures for hosting the meeting at his studio!

You can easily be wowed by your fellow photographers work--as was the case with David's--but the comment that stuck with me the most was he said all the images he showed in his presentation, his clients actually bought! David enjoys playing with his images like most of us, but he clearly knows his client, shoots consistently in a style that appeals to them and then he sells it to him! It is a simple equation, isn't it!

Please consider getting the most out of your membership and attend all the area meetings you can! These meetings can keep you creative, focused on your work and assist you technically so you can provide consistent, repeatable, professional results to your clients!

Our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 2nd. David will present a program on ProSelect (workflow, presentation, & ordering software). We will again meet at Rawlins Portraiture, and I might go out on a limb and say we will do Henry's BBQ again---it's just too convenient, but look for a final announcement of time and location specifics soon!
