As many of you know, I took the trip down to the city that never sleeps to attend the annual convention held there by WPPI (wedding and portrait photographer’s international). It was my first time attending the convention and I was blown away by what an all encompassing experience it really is! With thousands of photographers in attendance, two full sized ballrooms filled with every photo item available and just about every big name in the industry in attendance I was literally worn out each day by the sheer enormity of it. I got home and needed a vacation from my vacation!

The good news is I was able to see and sample a LOT of products while I was down there. The end result is I will be adding some new books and canvases to my current offerings, so keep your eyes open for the soon to come samples! I’m REALLY excited to take my product list up that extra couple of notches… I think you will be too.

As if WPPI wasn’t a huge deal on it’s own, we even flew in early to hook up with Scott Robert for a little pre-WPPI workshop. Below are just some of the images I captured in those three days. All images (save one, which I have noted below) were posed and lit by me.

^Full credit for this shot goes to Bandele Zuberi, who let me shoot over his shoulder. I just love the simplicity of it so much I had to share here… good eye Bandele!^

A huge thank you once again to all our models for rocking it out despite the chilling winds!
