Strengthening your Family Portrait Skills

with Adilfa Ford, M.Photog.,Cr,CPP 

Saturday, April 5th  at 9:00 - 1:00pm PDT

Can you leap over tall buildings in a single bound, stop a locomotive with your bare hands, or run faster than a speeding bullet? No? Neither can I. But I can work with a crying child, deal with teenagers with attitude, and reassure a grouchy grandparent while posing a family of 30 people half of them under 10 years old in 15 minutes or less. In my business that's a superpower worth having. In this new world of I have a camera, I am a professional photographer, large family photographers are still in a class of their own. Most of my lower priced competition either can't or won't photograph large families leaving this very lucrative market to a very few.

Adilfa Ford of Don Polo Photography has been successfully working this market for over 30 years photographing routinely families of 50 and 60 people. In this program we will talk about marketing, booking, posing, selling, retouching, and printing. Everything you ever wanted to know about family portrait photography
in one program. Okay, maybe not everything but at least enough to get you going and hopefully help you to make more money. Bring your camera for the hands-on instruction and practice photographing a real family on location. In the photography world superpowers are learned, not earned so join us for this powerful family portrait program.
