WPPI 2009

I'm back home from Las Vegas and words can't begin to describe how amazing my experience was. I was joined by 4 other wonderful women whom I met last May at a MeRa Koh workshop. We arrived on Sunday feeling electric and looking forward to our time there.

I attended 3 platform talks, including one by my very favorite photographer, Audrey Woulard. I feel like this was the talk that most spoke to me as an artist and I learned so much!!

The trade show was SO overwhelming and I wanted to buy everything there... but I was a good girl and only made a few purchases (including a new funky fun cover for my Shootsac ;) We went to the Mpix booth to see one of our favorite photographers, Carey Schumacher of Barefoot Memories Photography and grabbed a snapshot with her. Carey also taught at the workshop last May, and she simply an inspiration.

Below are a couple of photos that were taken while we were there. I will have some exciting announcements in the following days regarding Grin & Share It. Please stay tuned...

Finally, I have to give a shout out to the lovely ladies who joined me this weekend. I am so blessed to have met each and every one of you. Thank you for your honesty, you support, your laughter, your wisdom and your openess. I can call any of these girls at any time and ask them a question, knowing they will give me an answer without hesitation and will share their knowledge with me. I had such a wonderful time with all of you and will treasure the time we spent together. I hope to be able to join you again next year, along with the other friends we've made that couldn't be there with us.

Enjoy,
Tessa
