Below is a picture that I grabbed of my dear friend Stephanie Edens' blog today. She was so kind to give me a little "blog-love" today. I am honored because every single person in her town reads her blog several times a day, and to be featured on there is a big deal to me! :)



The reason for the blog-love is because I have been selected as a presenter at the upcoming Pictage Partner Conference in Chicago in May. My presentation will be "Blogging; Insert Clever Subtitle Here" and it will discuss in depth how I believe that a blog is an essential tool for a photographer to maintain relationships with clients (and to create future clients). If you're reading this, you are proof that it works! :)

Steph is also proof that it works, and she and her business (that is not even a year old yet) are going to be featured in my presentation. She doesn't even have a website - just her blog - and she does not have one open session or one free day until JULY. I mean...if that doesn't tell you something about her and also about the power of the blog, I don't know what does.

If you want to read Steph's ridiculously long and gushy but sincerely appreciated post, click the picture or click HERE. And if you are a photographer and want help with starting a blog of your own, I suggest you get registered for that Conference and my workshop today!
