Welcome [Mindy] to the Family!

At the end of our last retreat there was one thing that had become abundantly clear: We came from all over the U.S. as individual photographers but we were leaving as one big happy family. Not only did we learn, plan and develop strategies for our own business, but we now had a team of cheerleaders, encouragers, peers and friends to not only hold us accountable to our goals but to also share the victories and challenges throughout the year.

In that same spirit we would like to welcome photographers who join us this coming year into our Photog Retreat Family. We look forward to meeting you, learning with (and from) you, and supporting you in the future as we all grow our businesses together!

This week as our first special feature, it is our pleasure to welcome Mindy and share with you a little about her...

Mindy, owner of Red Rock Studios in Las Vegas, Nevada specializes in Wedding/Portrait Photography. She is happily married and mother of two beautiful little girls. She studied photojournalism at NMSU, and fell in love with weddings by accident while in school. She discovered it was a much happier form of journalism :)

The Facts:
Camera: Canon 5D
Favorite Lenses: 50mm 1.2 and the 70-200mm 2.8
Experience: Over 8 years as a Professional Photographer

We also asked Mindy a few other fun questions, here are her answers...

What are you looking forward to most about the Photog Retreat?
Shooting in exotic locations and relaxing with my hubby

Who are you looking forward to meeting the most?
Everyone, I love people :)

What challenges you most as a photographer?
The business side, staying focused/organized, and delegating.

And one of our favorite questions of all time...
Tell us a little bit about yourself? (what makes you, YOU!)
I love adventure. I spent my childhood through college years hiking,
biking, kayaking, rock climbing, riding horses, and more! I play piano
(sort of). Once upon a time I competed in triathlons... a long time ago.

Please join us in welcoming Mindy to our wonderful family! Thank you Mindy for adding your sense of adventure and love for life to our upcoming retreat!
