Learning Is Good For You!

Last week Josh and I attended the WPPI 2008 held at the Paris. The WPPI is the best convention for wedding photographer and portrait photographers. Josh and I had such a blast even though my pockets are much lighter. We got to hear some great speakers, Josh got to ogle all the new Nikon lenses and even a D3 (currently the holy grail of Nikon Cameras). Best of all I got to look and touch all of the wedding album companies. I got to pick out two new companies that have beautiful, quality products, that I'm sure all our brides will love.

Of course we took pictures!

Josh and I have been so pee in your pants excited for this convention. I think you can tell by the twinkle in my eyes:

Josh was really excited about his new lens he bought...until he went to pay:

I also bought some Kubota actions (they make photos pop) and since I spent the money on it I thought I would get me some Kubota Hero lovin':

My final purchase was a Shootsac from my photography idol Jessica Claire! This was the equivalent of meeting Elvis for me. I was soooo shy that Josh pushed me up to her and forced me to talk to her. I swear I probably made no sense whatsoever. She ended up being sooo sweet, and I'm beyond excited to use my seriously fashionable yet functional camera bag this Saturday.

Of course Josh forced me to ask for a photograph:

After our retail therapy we checked out the album companies. Here are two products we will be offering fairly soon:

This is a flush mount album with a little bit thinner pages than the current company that we use. The color on it was amazing and I love the cover:

Also our album company had some kick ass cover like this black tooled leather:

After three full days of photography fun, fun, fun, we were exhausted but very happy. It was really nice just to kick back and relax a little with my dogs, Sony (my chihuahua), and Sheezy (my pug):
