WPPI 2010 - Las Vegas (Numero Dos)

We have been home from WPPI in Vegas for one week. How have things changed here at Nick Corona Photography? Well, we are head over heels in deep with ShootQ! ShootQ is a business management software that simplifies our workflow and correspondence with you, our brides. We always welcome feedback, so if you receive any correspondence through ShootQ, let us know what you liked (or didn't like) about it!

We are gearing up to launch our very own Rockin' Senior Portraits here in So Cal. Such adventures have already begun in Texas and Colorado! If you are a graduating senior of 2010 or 2011 and are interested in a free photo shoot, contact us to arrange it! The first three seniors that contact us will get a free Rock Star Senior Portraits treatment!

We actually got to meet Chenin Boutwell of Boutwell Studios. My heart was racing as I noticed her standing behind me. I was like a toddler at Disneyland giggling as I waiting in line to meet a Disney character. Yes, she is that famous in my book. She was so gracious to talk to us and even let us snap a photo with her. She is hosting another Style Lab in May - and we are saving our pennies to be able to go.



We are excited for all the amazing things we learned at WPPI to take into fruition. We are already planning our trip for next year, including our very own Trash the Dress session on the strip!

Still more to debrief... stay tuned

WPPI 2010 - Las Vegas

We left for WPPI four days ago. Six photographers, nine pieces of luggage, six camera bags, three purses and an ice chest. The four hour drive flew by as we discussed current marketing trends, recent business adventures and heart felt desires for the upcoming week at WPPI. Before we knew it we pulled into our dusty, middle-of-renovation Tropicana Hotel. WPPI was at the MGM, and Tropicana is right next across the street. Luckily, our team of photog's had a great sense of humor as we joked about choosing the power tool we would prefer to be woken up by and the awesome rustic feel the taped off windows and doorways gave us.

As soon as we got there an unloaded our Suburban full of luggage, we hiked up a couple flights of stairs and flung ourselves onto our beds. There really was no time for rest, we had our first photo shoot about an hour after we arrived. Emma Smith, in association with Pay It Forward Photography hosted a Bridal Session around the strip. Here are a few of our favorite from the shoot.















I have many posts to write about as we debrief from the sensory overload of WPPI. Being surrounded by 11,000 photographers and a couple thousand vendors was remarkable, to say the least. Besides the sheer excitement of the Canon booth (for me) and the Nikon booth (for Nick) we were like little kids on Christmas day as we walked around and met with some of the coolest people we have ever met! Trust me, I have several blogs to write about the awesome vendors we met and how they stole our hearts... stay tuned.
