Hello SLCC Students

Yesterday I was invited back to Salt Lake Community Colleges' photography program (where I took classes) to talk to the students who are just about ready to graduate and venture out on their own paths.

I was a tad nervous, having two of my old teachers listen to me give advice to their students, but I was so thankful for the opportunity. Thanks for being so nice. I hope I was able to answer some of your questions and if you think of any others, let me know. Overall, don't let you be the reason your photography dreams don't happen. Believe in your talent, work hard, be smart and it will happen!

For the photographers out there that email me about my training or if I offer any classes, I highly recommend SLCC. There are two teachers in particular that I think are amazing! Terry Martin and Ed Rosenberger. I don't think Terry has a website, but here's Ed's work www.edrosenberger.com. It speaks for itself. If you want to pursue photography, any type, don't overlook these well respected, creative and knowledgeable teachers at SLCC!

New Brochure & Business Cards....

I can now post my new brochure and business cards! I spent the day designing them, well mostly the brochure, and my sister gave me the final ok. When I design, I like to run the final products past her. She makes sure I'm not the only one who thinks they look pretty : ) Thanks Lindsee! Here they are...

It's an "accordion" brochure that folds into a square. The shoes panel is the front cover and the text panel with my logo is the back cover.

Brandee,

I wanted to take a second to thank you so much for the amazing photographs you have taken so far. We are so pleased with how they are turning out. Everyone who sees my bridals is so impressed. You made me look a lot better-looking than I am!

You are truly a phenomenal photographer.

Thanks again!
Kristi Sue
