Prime
I recently got back from Las Vegas, NV where I co-taught the Prime Workshop with Sarah Lane of Studio Twelve Seniors. The workshop was all about Senior Portrait Photography - how to get your name out there, market to seniors, posing, lighting, interacting with seniors, and more. We even got to take our attendees out for a 3 hour shoot in the Nevada desert with 6 incredibily styled real senior models. Even though we had the obstacle of some nasty wind, we got some glorious sunshine to work with!
I entered the day with a big pile of excitement and nerves all mixed into one. Once Sarah and I met our attendees we knew it was going to be a great day. I can't get over how amazing each woman was and how everyone connected and opened up to each other so quickly. I loved that Sarah and I got to share our hearts and passions for our business' and for teens. I know I walked away with an incredible experience and a whole slew of new of friends.
Below are some reviews of Prime I thought I'd share as well as some behind the scenes images of our day:
“The Prime Workshop was a once and a lifetime experience in my book. Meg and Sarah shared their hearts, souls and knowledge that they have for senior photography. Not only did I come home with goals of being a better photographer but after meeting them I wanted to be a better person. It was amazing not only to pick their brains but to shoot along side of them with a group of beautiful girls (and one studly guy). I learned things I didn’t even go in thinking I needed to learn. For the first time in a long time I’m excited about what the future holds. And to top it all off I’ve gained friends and a network of amazing ladies in which give me even MORE inspiration!” - Misti Davis
"I loved the Prime Workshop! Meg and Sarah are such a delight to work with. I learned so much and am still going through all of the information that was given to me! I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone trying to start their photography business. They are amazing business women and friends, and it is such a pleasure to have met them both. Their senior models were also fantastic, so sweet, and amazing to photograph! And to top it all off....a photoshoot in the desert with some of the prettiest light it in the world!" - Brenda Schmidt
"Thanks again for the amazing time in Vegas! The workshop was full of such great information, and the desert shoot was so incredible, it was a wonderful experience! Thank you again for sharing your incredible passion and heart for teenage girls with us, and your business tips and strategies that have helped you to become such a success in the industry." -Angela Healy
