PPGBA’s February 25 monthly meeting is titled, Ask the Divas… In preparation for our seminar on the following day (Friday 2/26 – A Day with the Divas) we are pleased to welcome even more local diva talent to the stage for a lively panel discussion to prepare and whet your photographic appetite for 2010!
(from left to right: speakers are shown in alphabetical order by last name)
Kimberly Sayre, Cr. Photog. CPP, will moderate the panel of successful women in photography, and they will field your questions on various topics relating to wedding style, boudoir photography, working with kids and balancing your own family life, how to make sense of the basics of social networking, and some workflow advice to boot! These busy women have hardly noticed the economic slowdown, and are just the experts to share some useful information to help you streamline your photography business and pursue new avenues of revenue generation!
On the panel:

Stefanie Herzer, CPP – Hey, this doesn’t WORK or FLOW!
Stefanie will answer questions about how to organize your images after a shoot, and what steps to take to get started in adopting a workflow that will keep you on track and organized when the sessions start to flow through the doors! Stefanie is also sharing much, much more at the Day with the Divas workshop the next day, so make sure to sign up as space is limited!)
