SPA Event 2008 in Tucson, Arizona

This month I had the awesome privilege of spending six days in the glorious Arizona sun with hundreds of the best senior portrait studios in the world... very cool. Plus it just so happened to be the weekend it hit 5 degrees below zero in Chicago. I didn't plan that, but Andy Bondurant and his crew planned every detail of the weekend, from all the speakers, instructors, models, fashion shows, to photo shoots, to make the weekend the best it could be. I had a blast and met some amazing photographers and made some great friends! 

This is my self portrait, steps away from the resort, which was so first class I have to give a shout out to the people at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort.

We had fun photographing the models selected from the studios that did their senior portraits, and were entered into a contest to be with us at SPA. And they had a great time too, especially with Chicago stylist Sara Lebovitz by their side, and she gave us some tips for what style's are HOT this year!



I want mention Sara Petty who got the weekend started off right with her awesome marketing and identity philosophy. And I was so excited to sit in her class with Erin and Linda, from then on we stuck together with Mary and Lisa and Ana had a blast! They are such fun girls and kick butt photographers!
