I just found this bog and wanted to share. I LOVE the idea! It was created specifically for photographers and has free downloads (actions, templates, etc) in true pay it forward style. Have fun!

Pay it Forward
Finished a Good Book
Last month I decided I need to read more business books to help further enrich and grow my business. The first book I decided to read was “Love is the Killer App” by Tim Sanders. This book was a great one to start with because it talked all about how we can be ‘Love Cats’ by being helpful, loving, nice people and investing our time, love and knowledge in others. Some of this I do already, but it gave me a lot to chew on and tons of new ideas that I plan to incorporate in my day to day life. It is definitely a ‘must read.’
An addicting website for a good cause
A friend sent me a link a couple days ago to this website. Be forewarned. It is really addicting! Free Rice is a program aimed toward ending world hunger. Basically, it is a vocabulary game (analogies like on the SAT). For every question you get right, they donate 10 grains of rice through the United Nations to help end hunger. So you challenge your brain and help the world. Have fun!
Live, Love, Laugh, Learn
I am really excited and honored that I was asked to present at this year’s La Leche League Conference . I am co-presenting the seminar entitled “Picture Perfect” with fellow photographer, Dennis Wilson. We will be teaching some of the basics of digital photography, how to take “professional” photos & how to create a memorable DVD from those shots. The conference is September 8-10 in downtown Phoenix.
DWF Convention
I just got back from the Digital Wedding Forum convention in Las Vegas, Nevada. The DWF is a great resource for wedding and portrait photographers. On the forum, photographers can get photography advice and critique eachothers work.
The convention was great! It was very inspirational and I have tons of new ideas I am dying to try out. One of the neatest things we did was attend the live wedding of Mark Roberts, the president and CEO of Art Leather Albums. His wedding was shot by some of the top photographers in the industry: Vanessa Hall and Yervant (from Australia), Bambi Cantrell, John Michael Cooper, Lisa Pyden, Doug & Chenin Boutwell and Dave & Quin Cheung.
