We just got back from the Annual Photography Convention in Myrtle Beach, SC by the Professional Photographers of South Carolina.

We’ve actually been to the Hilton Hotel in Myrtle Beach quite a few times before so we were quite confident going there without a GPS but of course we got lost quite a couple of times and had to backtrack. Directions are so confusing sometimes because sometimes they say to go straight but there is actually a fork in the road so does going straight mean to veer left or right? Makes me wonder sometimes how we survived before without a GPS. Should never leave home without it.

Anyway, we finally got to the Hilton Hotel and heard Sandy Puc’ of Expressions by Sandy Puc’ speak. Sandy Puc’ is a boutique portrait photographer in Littleton, Colorado and is probably best known as the founder of Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. Her seminar is called G.I.V.E. and is just FULL of information about photography, marketing and sales. She also does a lot of charity work which has the unfortunate side effect of giving her even more business.

The seminar was from 1pm to 7pm and even with the breaks, our minds were spinning from all the information. We drove home very inspired and so full of ideas for our photography.
