A few weeks ago, registration opened up for WPPI in Vegas next year. If you’re a photographer, you should GO TO WPPI! I’ll let you in on a secret: I don’t go to many classes at WPPI. I spend time at the expo to see all the latest & greatest stuff for photography, I go [...]

The last three Jill-e catalogs have been SUCH a blast to help create! The first was the one I did HERE, on the beaches of La Jolla for the Spring/Summer 2008 catalog. Then later that year, I took the shot for the Fall/Winter catalog during an evening product shoot in Times Square:

A few months ago, the amazing Davina Fear (one of the main powers behind the annual Thirst Relief auctions), asked me if she could feature me on her “Women in Business” blog series. What an honor! And after following up Scott Kelby & JP Elario on the Mpix series, it was nice to be among [...]

I wanted to share a few funny things from Macworld. First, my favorite Mac Genious from our local Apple store stumbled upon our booth, and we were both surprised to run into each other so far from Otay Ranch! I had one of the Mpix dudes take a pic w/my camera. He didn’t quite get [...]

WPPI is over, and I got home yesterday officially & completely exhausted. Vegas was so much fun, and it was really great to hang out with so many friends! My platform talk on Tuesday was a BLAST! I really enjoyed it, and it seemed like a lot of people were liking the info & having [...]
