Kellan Studios, my all-time favorite photography studio, has partnered with a few other super talented studios (Jodi Miller and The Beautiful Mess) to bring a workshop that covers more than just the basics and talks through the disciplines that have helped each of these companies in their meteoric rise to stardom. Collectively these 3 companies have appeared in over two dozen national and international publications.

Each group has their specialty but they also overlap in their strengths – and thus Venn Workshops were born. This first one is in the gorgeous Physalia Plantation in Tyro, Virginia (not far from Charlottesville)

I love this quote from Jim Rohn, “If you invest in your job you can make a career but if you invest in yourself, you’ll make a life.”

Running a small business is no small task. It’s important to set aside time, money, resource for self improvement. So many people out there buy a camera and start calling themselves a photographer. There’s no shame in that game, you’ve got to start somewhere. Workshops and training are a quick way to launch your career and change the trajectory of your life.

So check out the Venn Workshops, there’s a few spots left.

Here’s some pictures from my halloween costume today. I don’t know if you can give the Isrealites a hard time about going around a desert for 40 years but if I were going to – I’d say that there robes don’t have pockets to keep the map in but maybe that’s just me.
