A HUGE THANK YOU TO ELITE PHOTO INSTITUTE OF TULSA

March 5, 2013
PinExt A HUGE THANK YOU TO ELITE PHOTO INSTITUTE OF TULSA

Last weekend I had the pleasure of traveling to Tulsa to work with a fabulous group of aspiring photographers at the Elite Photo Institute.  While I was there, Josh and Kristin Atkinson, from EPI were the most amazing hosts to Emma & I.  We were treated like royalty, referred to as “rockstars” (we even had our own dressing room complete with a goodie basket) and scored tickets to a concert being held at the event center that weekend.  Just wanted to share a few images and then some images that we shot, on stage of two lovely little models…Thank you to everyone that attended.

IMAGING USA 2013

January 25, 2013
PinExt IMAGING USA 2013

We just returned from an amazing show at this years Imaging USA.  A professional photographers convention with one 12,000 in attendance.  As co-owner of a set design company www.designrevolutiononline.com I had a 20×20 booth overflowing with props and fun items for professional photographers.  I’d like to share a few images…

One of the industries greatest photographers, Audrey wouldard~  www.alwphotography.com, this woman has done it all!  She has worked with Ford modeling agency and  pottery barn kids catalog just to name a couple.

photo 15 IMAGING USA 2013

 

A quick jaunt out for pizza one evening with the entire crew.  From left…Emma Dixon, Kelly Hood, myself, Lesley Bragg and my mother & father in law who generously drive our truckload when we travel.

We always try to find a “must go to place” while we travel.  Antico pizza~ www.anticoatl.com  This was incredible, wood fired pizza, so rustic and delicious.  But i didn’t get the memo that you can bring your own wine or beer:-(

photo 16 1024x768 IMAGING USA 2013

 

Our booth before the rampage;-)  You have to understand…our booth is mobbed from the second we open until the last moment of closing.  We have so many exciting new products that people literally rush to our booth before we sell out!  If it weren’t mine, i’d be running there too!

photo 171 1024x768 IMAGING USA 2013

 

This year we decided that it would be fun to add a different tag line to our name, Design Revolution.  So we wore trench coats and had stickers on our back with our logo, booth number and the tag line “we’ve got you covered”  Where else am i going to get away with pink hair, cheetah trench coat, pink tights, funky jewels while in my forties?

photo 18 IMAGING USA 2013

 

some elevator fun!

So this beautiful woman traveled all the way from Iceland just to meet me and the girls from Design Revolution.  She was such a sweet girl and she also got to who a bit;-)

photo 20 1024x768 IMAGING USA 2013

 

no, we really aren’t upside down but thats how it loaded so we will just have fun with it!  This night PPA had an incredible party at the www.georgiaaquarium.org  this was honestly one of the best events i’ve ever been to.  If you ever are in Atlanta, you have to take your family here.photo 212 e1359410272879 1024x768 IMAGING USA 2013

 

 

 

Another important friend.  I met Lori Grice at one of the first conventions that i ever attended.  She had such an impact on me and my career.  Love this girl and hands together for a cancer survivor!

photo 222 e1359410337260 1024x1365 IMAGING USA 2013

 

and meet Kerri, from www.wildsorbet.com  she and Tana have this crazy cool frame company.

More great friends, Beth Forrester, a crazy brilliant photographer and designer of www.photoduds.com a template company.photo 241 e1359410505988 1024x768 IMAGING USA 2013

 

 

My sweet friend Chanel and her little beauty that i finally got to meet;-)  She stole my phone, my heart and my shiny purse the first three seconds i held her.

photo 25 IMAGING USA 2013

 

and finally…I SIGNED AN AUTOGRAPH!!!  i think i can count on one hand how many i have signed and they are usually for a charity book give away or something like that.  Just thought i’d share as this is the closest i’ll ever come to fame and fortune;-)

KANSAS PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS SCHOOL ~julie klaasmeyer photography workshops

June 16, 2011
PinExt KANSAS PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS SCHOOL ~julie klaasmeyer photography workshops

I spent last week with a group of wonderful, eager and talented photographers. They came to my class from all over the midwest to grow and polish their skills. I love seeing, teaching and watching “the a-ha moment” in a willing individuals eyes! It takes a lot of experience to become a true “professional photographer”. Even thought it seems everyone is a photographer these days, there is actually a lot more to it than owning a camera and giving yourself a business name. So before you invest your hard earned money in a portrait session…think about it, would you go to anybody that owned a pair of scissors (and looked at pictures on the internet) to cut your hair? As i like to say…INVEST IN AN ARTIST, PHOTOGRAPHY IS FOREVER! How will you remember?IMG 1832c KANSAS PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS SCHOOL ~julie klaasmeyer photography workshops
