Speaking at HOA in Kansas City!

Update: Oh, and did we mention we have an awesome give away from our friends Bob and Dawn Davis for one lucky person attending? :)



We're only three days away from the class we will be teaching in Kansas City, MO for the Heart of America Professional Photographer's Association. The class itself will be a very small group of individuals, providing those who attend a close-knit setting to talk with us about their specific business needs and questions. During this session, we're an open book. If you've every wondered how we run our business, work and connect with our clients and keep track of it all, we'll be sharing our secrets here!

We'll be talking about internet networking and business tools such as Blogger, Facebook, LinkedIn, online storefronts and studio managers, showing you how we incorporate them in our workflow and use them to stay connected with our couples and clients.

We're so excited to see you! If you are one who will not be able to attend the class, we'll be in Kansas City Saturday afternoon and will be having lunch somewhere in the area. I'll announce the place and time via Twitter sometime Saturday. Whether 2 or 20 come, we'd love to meet you there!

Shane & Erin Melenbacker Speak at PPN Conference

Erin and I had so much fun speaking at the PPN Fall Conference! Actually, probably too much fun as we're beginning to see the pictures surface on Facebook :) We'll be speaking next at the Heart of America Conference in March, so if you missed us this time, we look forward to meeting you there!

Our thanks again to BODA for sponsoring us and giving away a BODA Dry bag, Mike Colon for donating his DVD "On Location With Mike Colón: Toronto", and Big Folio for providing one lucky person with a new website/blog/online hosting combo! We love these products and sites and for those of you that didn't win in the drawing or couldn't make it, BODA has offered to extend a 15% discount to anyone planning to purchase a BODA bag before October 10th.

The amazing group we had!


We had a short break, and had some awesome volunteers to play a quick round of "Reception Dance Song" Trivia. The catch... if you knew it, you had to dance it to compete. Photo below is from "Thriller"
