June's Pictage User Group was very informative with Justin Kifer of Gigbooks as our speaker. If you are looking for very comprehensive ONLINE business organizational software, you should definitely check them out!
Thank you to Jennifer Disney for being our Studio Spotlight for June. She is so talented and it was great getting to hear her story and learning a little about her.
As usual, our host, Ann Kelley made an amazing spread (including rootbeer floats!) for us to snack on.
If you are a photographer in the LA area, you are welcome to join us! Email me for info!

The second Light and Fast Seminar took place yesterday, and it was a great success! This time the group was much smaller, so John Mireles and I were able to give a lot more personal attention to our attendees. Check out this super nice email that Jeanette Sanchez sent to me today! You can check out more about her experience here on her blog.
"Hi Jules,
I want to thank you again for all the info. you shared with us yesterday regarding weddings. I was really confused before I came to your seminar and now I feel confident that I CAN do off camera lighting in a dark church or dim reception, THANK YOU. I love how you sat on the floor and let us peek into your bag, ask a ton of questions, and laugh with you like we were old friends. It was worth every penny I spent and time I had to put aside to attend. I am going to recommend this seminar to any photographer who desires to see the LIGHT!
Warmly,
Jeanette"
Well thank YOU, Jeanette, (and everyone who came) for attending our seminar!
John, the Lighting Master, giving a demo. 
I loved how John's images came up on the screen for everyone to see what he was doing.
Here I am giving my portion of the Seminar.
Thank you to Youkeun Oh for taking this snap of me showing my lighting set-up.
A little outdoor hands-on demonstration.
Everyone chimping over John's shoulder!
The whole gang!

I thought Saturday was the coolest date to get married, and I was excited to see it inscribed on the inside of Marc's wedding band. I was in love with this couple...Rebecca and Marc had their dog, Karma, in the wedding, and they had just about the cutest details you could ever hope to find at a wedding!

Saturday's intimate wedding took place in Josh & Heidi's downtown loft in a 100 yr. old bank building, 5 floors up, in front of the wall of windows and the fire escape where Josh proposed. He is a used book-dealer, so there are tens of thousands of books shelved and stacked everywhere around the apartment. Of course I was thrilled to discover that their dog, Hero, was the ring bearer!
I thought Heidi's make-up was beautifully done by Lenore Todd. Also, I would like to thank Shannon Leith who referred Heidi & Josh to me. 
Everyone threw streamers at the new Mr. & Mrs.
Their wedding cake was the funkiest thing I'd ever seen - it was a castle with a tower of books on top and graffiti to reflect their downtown urban home below.
