Photographer Education is a necessity. Being a photographer means I am alway trying to learn, trying to become better and to find better ways of doing things.

I try to attend as many conferences and workshops as I possibly can. Shutterfest is one of the Photographer Education conference I have been attending for a few years now. This is an amazing hands-on learning experience. Lots of classes, lots of hands on shooting, lots of friendships made, lots of fun.

It happens in St. Louis and is filled with all kinds of photographers from all over the world.  Wedding Photographers, Senior Photographer, Family Photographer, you name it, they are there.

These are a few images from last years event.  I am really looking forward to ShutterFest 2016!
