Laguna Beach Workshop

October 2 - 4 2009

We will be in the heart and soul of Laguna Beach by staying at the beautiful Inn at Laguna Beach (there will be a group rate for attendees) -- this hotel is right on the beach and near all the fun shopping and dining Laguna has to offer. Even Starbucks is across the street!

For our shooting location we have an awesome spot that is both a bit country and a bit urban - the best of both worlds. One of my favorite places to shoot in California.

WS Rate: The rate is now $700 until this Monday!

Please see the website for policies and what is included: www.soulographer.com

Thank you!

This is the only Workshop I have remaining for 2009 -- you don't want to miss out!

Louisiana 2009 WS Now Open

EDITED: WS Now Half Full

The Monroe Louisiana WS is now open for registration! The dates are March 20 - 22 2009. This WS is limited to only *18* people for a smaller, more intimate WS, and is $600 until August 16th (or until it becomes full) and then the price is $850.

This WS was open for pre-registration to those on my e-Newsletter and is already selling like hotcakes -- you don't want to miss this one!

View the Soulographer website for pricing and information - be sure to read the new 2009 Itinerary page and as well as the Pricing page as it states the policies and what the WS includes: www.soulographer.com - very excited about the new natural light and location demonstration and longer shooting times!

Airports to fly into for this WS are: Monroe LA, Jackson MS, and Shreveport LA. The Monroe airport is smaller and generally more expensive; with the others being 1.5 hours away from Monroe. On my forum attendees can figure out carpooling and roommate options. Remember to check with your accountant as business expenses are usually tax write offs!  

Coming Soon

In a few days the 2009 Monroe Louisiana Workshop will be revealed. A killer location. A killer new WS itinerary. This one is better, smaller, and longer. You do not want to miss this!

Stay tuned or sign up for the e-Newsletter to your right!

Flint MI

Despite the looming rain clouds, we had beautiful weather at my recent Flint MI Workshop! The Buick Open was in town the same weekend so we were surrounded by golfers of all ages. And it was at the "Beer Tent" I learned that I'm gettin' old (music too loud so I left, lol). Such and amazing group of ladies; I look forward to going back to MI one day!

Lots of great bridals for the Bridal bonus as well! We must have been quite a sight strollin' through Flint; we sure attracted plenty of attention. I think we had 8 total brides? Thanks to the girls for modeling! Gorgeous!

Workshop Book

Also, I am considering selling (for a limted time only) a softcover book in addition to the DVD full of the must have information I teach at my Workshops; and then some. I figure if I am longer teaching, why not bring a Workshop home to you! You will be able to purchase the book separately from the DVD and will have creativity, business and my photoshop process inside! This is not the same as the Workbook I include at Workshops, it is much much more!

However, I will only sell the Books if there is enough interest - so let me know if you are interested!

Making room for other ventures; Skye's Business Forms aka Photographic Foundations will be closing soon. This is your last chance to purchase the forms packet. Tell your friends!
