Western Guild

PPNC (Professional Photographers of North Carolina) holds four different seminars each year, one of which is Western Guild. This year, Western Guild was held in Asheville, NC. Karen was asked to share her marketing secrets with her fellow photographers in the state.

Karen's class was titled "Staying on Top in 2009." She gave ideas and shared techniques - that we use at IP - for going the extra mile for our clients.



In other words, us girls had an excuse to take a Road Trip! We packed up some samples, decorating ideas, and headed to Asheville.

You know we can't do anything average! We brought furniture, backgrounds, props, and samples of EVERYTHING. We turned that conference room into a boutique!



Karen spoke for three and a half hours, so we took a dance break in the middle to loosen up! Yes, you read it correctly. We danced! We wanted everyone to join in the Cupid Shuffle, but some people just won't dance!





At the end of the class, Karen was presented with her speaking merits, which go towards her PPA (Professional Photographers of America) credentials.



We make a pretty good team, huh?
