It’s been a whirlwind Spring for me so far, with lots of weddings and engagement shoots and the launch of my new site, www.fudgebananaswirl.com.  I sort of assumed that many of you have heard about it, via Twitter and Facebook, and already checked it out.  But, in case you missed it, I’ve been blogging about all things Mom and kids over at Fudge Banana Swirl.  Hope to see you there!

    It’s a great idea! I made mine into a small photo scrapbook and my son who is now 9 still enjoys looking through his 1st ABC book!


At the start of this year, I made a few basic goals for myself.  One, to try every day to be the best wife and mom I can be. Two, to take better care of myself, inside and out.  And, three, to help women photographers learn to better balance career, marriage and motherhood.  So, when I was approached to speak at the first ever HER Photography Conference, I knew it was an awesome opportunity to connect with other women in the industry, to help others and to achieve my personal goals.

This is a very unique photography conference – for women only – where we can share what we know, learn from each other and, of course, have a little girl time.  I am thrilled to be included and I hope to see many friends, both new and old, in Michigan this November.

You can learn more about the conference by visiting the HER Conference Website or the HER Conference Facebook Page.

I am taking suggestions from folks on what you’d like me to teach.  As anyone who has attended one of my workshops knows, I am a get-down-to-brass-tacks kind on teacher; I don’t spend a lot of time chit-chatting about myself, as I’d rather TEACH than PREACH.  Leave a comment below and let me know what you’d like me to talk about; whether it be marketing, shooting, balancing work and personal life, sales and pricing – I am an open book and I want to teach what you want to learn.

Hope to see you there!

delightfully,

Chenin

    I just looked at the info on the conference! Wow – what an amazing event!! Let’s see… is “all of the above” a choice?? Pricing and marketing are my current top concerns followed by sales – I don’t want to seem like a cheesy salesperson just trying to make money. After that would be balance and handling inquiries from friends and family… I can’t wait!! This is going to be an awesome event!!

  • Anxiously waiting noon to arrive tomorrow :) Looking forward to meeting you & hearing you speak! Topic wise, the balance of life is a big one for me. My husband is working on his masters, I just had twins in December, and have a 4 year old… So that would be a great topic! (…as well as pricing, shooting, etc etc. :)

    What a fab idea! Fingers crossed I’ll be there, very much needed for female photogs to bond & share their insights.

    Michigan?! Dang!! Wish it were here in sunny So Cal. Could really use some pointers on how to juggle happy hubby, cheery children & career!


Something about this photo, shot on my iPhone last week, just totally sums up my kids. It gets me every time….
