I can't believe it!

Pictage has a Partner Conference each year in Los Angeles. I went last year and had a wonderful time. I met some amazing photographers that were just as great in person as they had been through email and the internet. It was a huge blessing to go and be inspired and encouraged by really sincere and good people. I made some great friends who still bless my life today.

As a last minute decision to risk saving face I decided to submit a presentation proposal this year. The members of Pictage (my photography peers) voted for the presentations that they wanted to see. The presentation that I submitted was one that was selected. I was in complete shock when my friend Nathan Holritz called me and left a message on my voicemail with the exciting and scary news. I'm so grateful for the opportunity and even more thankful to my peers for trusting me. I'm really hoping that I'll share something with them that will inspire and move them they way I was last year.

A new feature at this year's conference is going to be mentoring sessions. Some of you may remember that I set a similar event up at WPPI in Las Vegas. I am so excited about working with Raquel at Pictage to get these sessions set up with some really incredible, talented, and generous photographers.

I totally can't wait to go to Los Angeles this year!!!
