We're Back....

Wow! Is all I can say about the absolutely AMAZING three days that we spent together cruising the open sea and leaving our little mark on the Bahamas...from our first night welcome party that celebrated not one but two birthdays, our fun introductions and opening workshops, walking through the Bahamas with everyone's attention on our beautiful couple and gorgeous bride (lots of congratulations & honks...as well as a few stopping to ask what famous person we where photographing- ha!), from sun up to sun down our phenomenal group transformed from strangers... to friends... to a photog family!

Over the next few weeks we will share more about the retreat and our adventures, but for now...here are some awesome blogs and videos to get you by :) enjoy

Sponsors on Board!!!

The first email that I sent once we became serious about organizing the cruise to the Bahamas was to someone I admire and am lucky to call a friend- David Jay.

I briefly explained the concept of a relaxing environment for photographers to network, learn and build lasting relationships and asked him what he thought and if it would be something that ShowIt would like to sponsor...I didn't have to wait long for his answer..."Awesome...contact Kevin!"

So, I am so excited to announce ShowIt as a sponsor and to share that not only will they be hosting the website for the cruise, but they have put together some AMAZING discounts for all attendees and even more AMAZING prizes that the attendees can win while on the cruise!!!

Kevin has been so wonderful to work with and has some very impressive discounts and prizes (I can not wait to share!!!)

More details to come, but if you can't wait..."Get your Showit Pro website here!"
