Conference Speakers

Brady Campbell

A Passion for People

Just when you thought that photography was about shutter speeds and apertures, Brady Campbell comes along to shake up perspectives and perceptions. He whole heartedly agrees with Stephen R. Covey when he speaks about how to deal with people in his book "7 Habits of Highly Effective People". Fast is slow and slow is fast.

Brady will challenge you to see people differently and really make a conscious effort to interact with them in a new way, taking your time, creating clients/friends for life. Inheriting this passion will help you keep your existing clients so that you won't have to fish for new ones. Just imagine what it would be like always working for people that made you feel great about what you do and never having to "prove" yourself to anyone.

It doesn't end with interaction though-so Brady will also let you get a taste of his methods for creating beautiful images during a live, interactive photo shoot.

So get your crazy pants on, open your mind and your heart and get ready to learn how to build long lasting, meaningful relationships that will make your passion thrive.

Strike the Match - Light the Wick
Illuminate your Self

Dawn-Marie’s inspiring and thought-provoking program will guide your way to a deeper understanding of attaining personal success and happiness. You will find her candid honesty and insight to be compelling, inspiring and somewhat surprising as she asks probing questions like, “When was the last time you had a good, long talk with your Self?” or “Are you the wick or just stuck in the wax?”

Her conversational interaction will encourage you to embark on a journey in search of your authentic Self, recognizing the powerful contribution that partnership has in achieving success. Using her intuitive writing and stunning photography to help illustrate the way, Dawn-Marie’s 1 ½ hour presentation has both entertainment and universal appeal. This is one speaker you won’t want to miss! A little time, well spent, can make a life-changing difference.

Moving from Good to Great!

This seminar takes the lessons from best selling business author Jim Collins’ books and translates it to our photography industry.

Frank’s lessons from Jim Collin’s best selling books, “Good to Great”, “Built to Last”, and “How the Mighty Fall” create an inspiring program that allows you to look at your photography business in a new light. He examines the tools of big business and translate it our individual boutique photography businesses in a way that will inspire you to “greatness”.

The flow of discussion will generate a personal attitude adjustment, examining and/or finding your selected and focused business strategy, understanding of the economic engine in your specific business, evaluating technology to accelerate your business and finally sustaining your business to attain greatness.
