Andy & I joined the Professional Photographers of Cape Cod about six years ago, when we first started Bello. We were very new to photography and were looking to gain information, share ideas, and network with other photographers in the area. Joining the group was one of the best decisions we made in those early years. Not only did membership allow us to be featured on PPOCC’s website, which provided us with invaluable exposure to couples looking to hire a local Cape photographer. But, we learned a lot attending the monthly meetings and workshops sponsored by the group.

On Friday, the tables were turned as we hosted our first workshop, sharing information and our personal insight on blogging.

Because our new studio space is small (and still not quite finished…note tape on the wall in the photo below, which outlines where a big canvas print will soon go…it, and a bunch of others, should arrive this week…I CAN’T wait!!!), we limited the workshop to the first six people who signed up. We had a full house and it was a great afternoon of sharing. In attendance were photographers:Lauren Clough, Stefanie Egan & Lee Geishecker of Vagabond View Photography, Tom Malames, Michelle Bosch, and Jack Foley of Jack Foley Photography.

Here’s Andy going over some of the different companies out there that host blogs. I admit, I loved listening to him talk about this stuff, because he’s so good at it and he is such a great speaker…very laid back, patient and really lays things out in an easy-to-understand way. Even though I tend to do most of the blog posts, he’s the technical brains behind all of our web-based interfaces and I learned a lot! You rock baby!!

A great big thank you to everyone who came out to hear what we had to say. We really enjoyed ourselves and look forward to seeing what you have to say on your blogs!!!
