RE:WORKSHOP Testimonials



I've been getting a lot of great responses from the RE:WORKSHOP in Sacramento. How can I not share a few?!?!?!

If anyone wants to host the RE:WORKSHOP at your studio, let me know! I'm available across the US!

"I first wanted to thank you for the fabulous workshop in Sacramento. You were great! ... Your workshop was just what I needed. A good kick in the pants to get going! I've had a website that I've been meaning to update for a year. Plus, no real "plan" set. Thanks. You've inspired a few sleepless nights already because I'm just too excited & motivated! So thanks! I am so grateful! More that you'll ever know!" - Jo Merandi

"Thank you so much for sending all this information. You taught me so much during our time together. Thank you for being so open and candid. I truly appreciate all that you did for me. And sharing your files so freely has just saved me so much time. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" - Jennifer Moon

"Thanks so much, RE. It was great to meet you and learn from someone who takes the business of photography so seriously. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself with us as it really was refreshing to learn what you do without any hesitation. I never felt you were just telling us a few little things to get us by.... I've already used the materials you provided to gather more details about the day and to help keep me on task. I love it and I feel like the bride already sees more value in what I am providing her. Thanks!" - Caryn

"Thank you so much for your presentation and ever giving spirit. You were so generous to go over the extra hour and to give us so much information. I was most interested in the organizational aspect of your presentation. I have started to check my email twice a day and keep my inbox clean. This is an example of it. I just sat down to check emails and I am now dealing with them. That has created a huge space in my brain because once I have dealt with the email, I don't have to keep trying to remember to do it...IT'S DONE. I'm still working on folder structures, but I'm progressing. Thanks also for the extensive examples of the technical camera setting stuff... Thanks again so much for your time." - Mark Dong

"Thank you sooo much! These are going to be so helpful as was your workshop. I'm totally overwhelmed and feel so unorganized but at least now I know where I want to end up. You gave us tons of good and needed information and I can't thank you enough. I hope to see you soon" - Crystal Jones

Random CA

I just loaded a few pics off my Canon G9 that I was carrying during my recent trip to CA. Here's a random few that I wanted to share...

First off... I left San Francisco Tuesday around 5pm and it was a cool 72 degrees. By time I got to Sacramento the car was reading 107!!!!


After the RE:WORKSHOP about half of us from the workshop went out for dinner.


Leaving Sacramento the next morning I wanted to see the capital building. It was just a drive by, I needed to get back to San Francisco.


On the highway I spotted a '72-'73 Volvo 1800 ES. I'm a car fanatic, and a former Volvo owner myself. My wife now has a XC90. But what struck me about this 1800 ES is the similarity to the new C30's. And I thought Volvo was trying to put out something "new."



The haze from the wildfires was evident almost the whole drive. You can just about smell it too.


Some of the fires were pretty close to the highway! I even hit some traffic while some fire trucks were spraying foam on a burnt tree.


Before leaving CA I had to gas up the rental. And I though CT had high prices at $4.37 a gallon. CA was at $4.69!


Then the most confusing thing happened on the plane. This was on all of our screens on Jet Blue:


Everyone was confused and commenting on it. We were on a Jet Blue plane!!! After 15+ minutes of seeing this, the video finally played. It seems we are no longer flying... we are "jetting" with Jet Blue.
