Happy Wednesday, friends!
We’ve got two quick announcements for you this morning!
First, if you’ve ever thought Christmas in July is as fun of a concept as we do, or you know a bride looking for some inspiration for her winter wedding, then head over to the Allure Bridals blog and check out Glitz and Glamour, a winter wedding inspiration shoot we did last year in Phoenix when most of the country was still under multiple feet of snow! It’s their Wedding Wednesday feature this week, and with how crazy hot it’s been here in Arizona lately, we’re loving the visual change of scenery today!
Second, can we just take a minute and say how much we LOVE Showit, our website design software, not just because they have an amazing product (they do), but also because of their heart for creating a community among photographers. A few weeks ago, we went to Denver to help launch the first of many local Showit user community groups — with more cities across the U.S. coming later this summer and fall, so stay tuned! — but tonight’s a very special launch for us, because it’s in our hometown of Phoenix, Arizona. Traveling so much, we don’t get the chance to hang with our local photogs as much as we’d like, which is why we’re so excited for tonight!
We’ll be teaching on our 5 Practical Steps to Getting Published More, sharing how at the end of 2012, we’d had our work featured in a grand total of ZERO national publications, and how we set a goal for 2013 to be featured once nationally. By the end of that year, we’d been published over 15 times, and now we’re excited to share with other photographers how they can do it too!
If you’re a Phoenix-based Showiteer or from a surrounding area, like Tucson or Flagstaff (and don’t mind making the drive), we’d love to welcome you to your local Showiteer community, meet you, hang out together, and leave you with some very practical, realistic steps that’ll get you on your way to getting published more!
All of the information for the event is in the Phoenix Showiteers Facebook group.
* We’ll be speaking again in Phoenix on Thursday, September 25 and we’d love to have you join us! We’ll send out all the details via The Monday Minute, our FREE weekly newsletter for photographers, so sign up and be the first to know!
See you tonight, friends!
