Vegas/WPPI 2009!

Bev and I will be attending the WPPI Convention at MGM Grand Vegas this year and we leave for Vegas this Saturday!!  We just can’t wait! It will be a week of learning, networking, researching and FUN. :D  

Things I want to accomplish while there:

  • Listen to and meet as many speakers/photographers as I can.  Being on the Big Island  can feel very isolating. It will be such a blessing to be able to meet and learn from all these other great photographers.
  • See the latest products from vendors which will help with photography.
  • Check out  every album vendor to see in person their albums and choose one to use.  I’d like to upgrade to a more high-end album vendor for my clients.
  • Have a lot of quality time with Bev.  This is my highest priority since we’ve both been so busy with weddings recently and hardly have any time for ourselves.

Can’t wait!!!

Update: We just shot two awesome weddings this past weekend and we can’t wait to post some of the highlights. :)  Please check back soon!
