Digital Wake Up Call Seminar
Last week I had the opportunity of attending David Zisers’ seminar, Digital Wake Up Call, with my photog buddies - Caleb Fleming and Jonathan Foster! Thanks, Jonathan for passing along the info.
Seminars are always so much fun! You get a chance to get outside yourself and the projects you've been working on so diligently in your own business. Seminars allow you to meet other photographers, learn about new products and software, see new creative techniques from the camera to processing, and the ever popular topic of how to make your business more profitable!
Ziser started the seminar with an hour-long lesson on lighting techniques! I was thrilled to hear all of them, despite the fact that information overload was present by the time the conference was all said and done. Lighting is the aspect of photography where I'm most eager to expand my knowledge at present and see major improvements. Putting action behind the thought, I bought my first lighting umbrella, Zisers’ specially designed Zumbrella. It has a more transparent material which aids in wrapping the light smoothly around my subjects instead of creating harsh shadows! I’m super excited as I wait to receive it in the mail soon. Even more exciting, my Zumbrella came with David Zisers’ very own lighting DVD, so I can listen to it, not just once, but over and over, till I’ve soaked it all in. :) So be looking for more blogs as I experiment with lighting techniques, and you have my full permission to yell at me if you don’t see them posted.
From there, we touched on the subject of workflow and how to create a more efficient process after your big shoot. Photographers are always looking for quicker, more impressive and efficient ways to process their work which, in essence, makes their business more profitable. In this portion of the conference, I learned about some new software and Ziser validated the importance of some of the software I currently use, like Adobe's Lightroom and Photoshop. (Two of the best programs!)
Ziser finished off his seminar discussing techniques to make one’s business more profitable. He shared the business ideas and methods that he felt most contributed to his success. Ziser’s suggestions ranged from creating vendor prints and establishing those relationships to improving connections with clients, by creating, growing and maintaining those relationships.
I won’t go into specific details on any of these topics, but you will be hearing more about them as I start implementing them in my own business!
Fyi....all photogs should have Zisers' blog....great resource!
In all the seminar was great, despite the fact that Caleb and I did not end up winning any door prizes. ;) Congrats to Jonathan on his Animoto winnings; we know how excited you were!

Her father, Rick Fairless, owns the famous biker bar/restaurant/retail store, and most recently, the tattoo parlor, Strokers Ink. Here are a few of my favorite shots from our Strokers’ Fashion Shoot!

Sarah | Dallas Arboretum | Maternity Photographer
What a special day! Mother to be accompanied by her hubby, Matt, my mama, and I spent some time on Mothers Day out at the Dallas Arboretum playing in the first fragrant flowers of summer. The day was a little warm, and we didn't want to wear out our beaming expectant mother, so spending some quality time in the shade was a must. Thanks Sarah and Matt for a fun shoot! Congratulations on your little one!

Sabrina | White Rock Lake | Bridal Photographer
What a fun day! The day started out with picking up an assortment of flowers and creating my very first wedding bouquet. Yeah, what do you think? I apparently came home with an odd flower combination because my mom wondered how I was going to produce a photographic bouquet from the medley. Thanks mom! Always love your support. :) Just kidding mom. In all honesty, she helped me put it together, and we had a good time. So thanks mom! Then I went to pick up my gorgeous model, Sabrina, for the day, and that's when the fun really began! We stopped at Artistik Edge Hair Studio to get a fabulous up-do which is also where friend and fellow photographer, Caleb Fleming met up with us...check his work out! After Sabrina’s hair was done, we ran over to Northpark, where we met up with make-up artist Jennifer Bartram at Sephora. She transformed Sabrina’s look, making her eyes pop and enhancing her already beautiful facial features! Good job team – now we were ready to go for the shoot!!!
From there, Caleb and I took over and started in with our fun. We posed Sabrina here and there and, of course, all the cars honked at our model along the way. Of course, since Dallas seems to have developed a rainy season, we shot in overcast skies again. Luckily, however, the rain held off long enough for us get in a good shoot! First, we took her to White Rock Lake, then some cute Victorian homes and finished up our session at the Rosewood Crescent Hotel. Here is a taste of our day! Enjoy!
