In the world of social media, we are all connected. Or so it seems. Except sometimes those conversations (for me at least) with oh so distant friends, yet strangers, isn’t enough. I long for human connections. I want to see you face to face. I want to hear your laugh and see your smile at the same time. Or even see your tears and listen to your struggles while I physically hand you a tissue or offer a hug. And that leads me to this invitation!

If you are a photographer –wish you were a photographer – OR are thinking that maybe one day you could become a photographer then let’s chat. But there’s just one condition – we must commence face to face.

I’ve been tossing this idea around in my head and in conversations with Shaina. But the time is now. I’m ready. I hope you are too.

You are cordially invited to become a part of “The Group – 2013.” The Group – 2013 will be photographers, like you and me. We will gather in person to chat about what we do, we will share tips that will help us grow, we will teach techniques that we use, we will discuss struggles that we have with our work, running a business, starting a business and maybe just staying focused. We will photograph each other. We will laugh, we will eat, some of us may even cry. Hopefully, most importantly, we will bond.

If you are interested in joining “The Group – 2013” please email me at [email protected] with your contact information, an introduction of yourself, and why it’s important to you to join me and other photographers. Our first meeting will be SOON in Bumpass, VA. Please email me the date that would best suit your schedule. If you have children please feel free to bring them, as a babysitter will be there to entertain our kiddos.
