Wow! What a night! Yesterday afternoon I headed north to the Hilton to help Sandy 'Sam' Puc and her team set up for the Bellies-n-Babies Seminar. It was a ton of work, and I have an all new appreciation for 'tour roadies'. Working with another photographer, the two of us registered over 450 photographers for the event! The most exciting part of the night was watching Sam work, and as I've mentioned before, Kavanaugh and I got the best seat in the house - on the stage as models! Unfortunately, I couldn't see the projected images as Sam was shooting them, but I know they are going to be awesome because everytime she snapped an image, the crowd let out a collective 'ahhhh'. With Sam's permission, when I receive the images, I'll post a few here.

The other great part of the evening was meeting up with other professional photographers. I got a chance to meet one of my heroes, Jason Domingues. His work is incredible! It inspires me, challenges me, and pushes me to get even better to provide my clients with the best!

So, in addition to playing Tour Roadie for Sandy Puc, I've also been putting on my commercial photographer hat, with the help of my Dad. We went on-location, set up a full studio, complete with at least five strobe lights. Those of you who have worked with me know that I prefer to just use natural light, with my reflector, and occasionally throwing in a little flash - this was a lot of fun for me, but I don't think I'll be adding a gazillion lights to my studio anytime soon! Here are a few images I'll be submitting to the authors/editors:

Last, but not least, I alluded to some changes here at J Conner Photography. Behind the scenes, changes are taking place. I'm excited to share them with you, and I will as soon as everything is in place. Be prepared for beautiful new products, outstanding new images, and the stars!
