October has been so overwhelming for us, that I'm just getting around to blogging about a professional photography convention where I attended and taught classes. It took place in the beautiful town of Beckley, WV. We had a great turn out of about 40 professional photographers from various states in the eastern US.
There were several classes offered on various topics like the business side of wedding & portrait photography, Photoshop techniques, studio lighting, and maternity portraiture.
In addition to attending classes, I also taught two of my own, "Flattering your Subject with Corrective Posing" and "On location Senior Photography". Both classes went really well! I was suprised at how much I enjoyed teaching to other professional photographers. I'm looking forward to my next teaching experience in Oklahoma in March!
I'd like to say a special "thank you" to Michelle & Patrick of PM Photography and Heather Roach of Heather Roach Photography for taking and allowing me to use the follow pictures of me teaching my two classes.

I love adding accessories to portraits!

The convention wasn't strictly business. We also had a LOT of fun! The first night we had a meet & greet at a local Italian Restaurant. Then we went to a lounge for a couple of drinks. The next night was our bowling night. All I can say is "Wow". Just take a look for yourself at the fun...
It was more fun than this...I swear! :)
This is what magically appears on your camera when you leave it unattended with 40 professional photographers...
