As you know we sent the past week at The Animal Image Maker's Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA (April 2019).  This is a niche conference of pet photographers and let us tell you - their first event was a huge hit!

The Master Lighting Course was a vendor - we sponsored a few things including the swags bags all the participants received.  Lisa Asp and the team from Twin Cities PPA did an amazing job with this event. 

As a vendor, we rented THREE booth areas so we could create images live.  Yes!  We made a studio on the trade show floor.  We gave lots of demos, met lots of really creative and inspiration folks, and made connections that will likely last our lifetimes.

We also had a chance to meet up with photography friends from all over - including our good friend Alex Cearns (Perth, Australia), Brad Cansler (Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA),  and the lovely couple Connie and Bob Zimmerlich (Scottsdale, Arizona, USA).
