WPPI 2009 in Vegas!!!

WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International) annual Convention & Trade Show in Las Vegas just finished. This was my third year in a raw to attend. This year it took place at the MGM hotel. This is the photo industry’s biggest and best trade show and educational convention in the United States for editorial, commercial, nature, portrait & wedding photographers. The convention attracts over12,000 wedding and portrait photographers from more than 30 countries worldwide.

I love to go to the tradeshow and the seminars to learn from world's best photographers. My goal is to learn and be better at what I do from time to time.
I also spent time with a couple of members of our local chicks who click club (talented group of female photographers). I also had a chance to meet and talk to a couple of other talented photographers, and listen to well-known photographer speakers from all around the country, who inspired me.

I walked away with new and exciting ideas. Stayed tuned for the new things coming up!
