Moab

We had an amazing time in Moab. The weather was great the Master Photographers were amazing and Kevin Kubota had all kinds of good advice. We had about 3 hours worth of shooting Sunday evening. There were brides, seniors and families. On Monday morning Kevin gave started out giving us information about shooting. He talked about the things that inspire him and gave us advice on things to be inspired ourselves.

Lunch was some of the best pizza I have ever eaten.

After Lunch Kevin taught about workflow and how to make our studios profitable. He shared a program with the attendees to help figure out what to charge for products and services.

Thanks to everyone who participated and helped to put this event together.
