Austin Pictage User Group

Wednesday evening I attended the Austin Pictage User Group led by the lovely Suzi Q.

We started off the evening by photographing each other so we would all have updated photos to include on our websites. Then I led a discussion on website content and design. We learned a lot about important things to include on our websites and some things we can strive to work on.
Is there anything that you wish I included on my website?

Here is another fun Austin PUG photo from a previous meeting.

Speaking in Austin on Oct 15th

I'll be speaking at the Pictage User Group in Austin (more info) coming up on October 15th. I'll be guiding a discussion on photography websites. We'll talk over what has content helps sites and also what is best to leave off. And then we'll jump into some of the local photographers sites to discuss how we can make all of our sites better.


This group of photographers is welcoming and always open to others joining in.

We're starting earlier than normal so that we can all take headshot of each other, so bring your camera and come dressed for having photos taken.

Speaking at Pictage PartnerCon Again!

I have again been asked to come and speak at Pictage's Partner Conference. Their next conference will be held in Los Angeles, CA.

My topic will cover how photographers can best use their images to excite their clients. I'll go over the different ways that I use use my images to create business without spending thousands of dollars in advertising.

If you are a Pictage photographer then you definitely need to plan on attending this conference. They have an early registration special through July 24th. Click the link below for more info and the schedule of speakers.

PartnerCon Highlights

I'm finally back from a week in Chicago and my laptop finally has some juice so I can post some photos. I forgot my charger in the room that I was speaking in at the hotel so I had to get a new one.

I always love these events so much because I get to hang out with some many great friends while even more friends. Here are just a few of them.
