Today I will be taking a 6.5 hour business class from Sandler Training starting at 9am and ending at 3:30pm.  My guess is I will be ready to call it a day after the class is over. Email will be the best way to get ahold of me today, as I will have my iPad [...]

This blog entry is really for the photographers out there that read this blog. I recently upgraded my main retouching station on my network to Mac’s new operating system Lion.

The largest bridal show in the United States with over 6000 brides on attendance. We will be discussing what specials we will be offering Brides-to-be that reserve our services at [...]

I found a very cool article about the law and taking pictures.

For over 10 years now I have been a member of the Professional Photographers Guild of Houston, and during that time I have made a point to take advantage of all the benefits of membership while contributing my time and energy whenever possible. Continuing education is so important to me, so I was so happy [...]
