It is hard to believe that a year later, travel has still not returned to normal. This time last year, we had to make the tough decision to Postpone our Amazing Adventure in Scotland. This year we have had to do it yet again!</p><p>Unfortunately, Scotland is still in a lockdown situation. Not allowing their residents to travel outside of Scotland and definitely not letting Americans in. So, the decision was made for us once again.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Scotland has been rescheduled for June 28-July 10, 2022</b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">3rd time is a CHARM!

More Info on that soon and we will open for registration ASAP.</span></p><p>So instead of crying (well, ok, there may have been some tears), we have decided we are NOT going to let a little ole pandemic ruin our fun. So we brainstormed....where could we go that didn't have restrictions, would be fun and relaxing AND we could plan in 3 months time?</p><p>Enter MEXICO!

Nerbona, which will be our home base for the week, located in the beautiful
village of Colle Val d'Elsa. Arrive in
the heart of Tuscany by 3pm on the <b>first
day</b> to get settled in. We will be there to welcome you and show you to your

reception followed by an authentic Italian dinner right at the villa. Spend the
evening getting to know each other, share wine over a beautiful sunset and get

villa to take you to the San Galgano Monastery where you can wander, take
pictures, work with the Homans and Behnkes on your portrait skills or pretend
it is 1432AD and just take it all in. From there, we will depart for Siena, where
you can spend the day in this historic center of Tuscany. From the Piazza del
Campo to the winding, hilly streets you can shop, enjoy the gelato and the
people. Home to the famous Palio di Siena horse race, this city has the
architecture that screams Italia! Then in the evening, we will meet for a cooking
class for all that is also your dinner. The fun of this event is not to be missed,
not to mention the wine!<i> <o:p></o:p></i></span></span></div>

Florence to enjoy shopping, the Uffizzi or Michaelangelo Museums, the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Boboli
Gardens and other sites. We will arrange

favorite towns, Buonreggio and Orvieto. We will first take the bus to the magical
Buonreggio which really is even prettier than its pictures show it to be. Hike
the half mile bridge to this land-locked island in the middle of something that
looks like the grand canyon. Check out the restaurants there for snacks or an
early lunch on your own. Grab some amazing pictures from all angles. Then it's on
to Orvieto, one of our favorite towns in Italy, in Umbria near the Tuscan
border. Great shopping, an underground tour not to be missed and lots of great
places to sip wine, enjoy lunch or whatever your heart leads you to. You are on
your own for dinner with tons of places to pick from. After dinner you can stroll
this vibrant town until 10:00pm, then the bus will get us back around midnight.
It's a full day, but well worth the time.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

back, you can stay at the villa all day, we'll make sure the wine is stocked
for you! Hit the pool, play games or take a trip into town on your own to
explore. For those that are still wanting to tour the countryside, we will have
a group take off for both Montalcino and Montepulciano where you can wander the
streets, do some shopping or a wine tasting where Brunello wines are king! Later
that evening, we'll have some fun events planned at the villa, with a fun cookout
featuring chef's Trey and Bert at around 7pm to end the day. <i>(There will be evening portrait Sessions for
anybody who would like to have one done by Cindy and Elizabeth)<o:p></o:p></i></span></span></div>

our credit card for the safety it provides.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Value added tax is charged in Italy, usually over 20% on purchases. If
you make a purchase, especially a larger one, ask the clerk for a refund form
to be filled out. You can then get your tax refunded at the airport before you
fly home.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>

We are so excited to announce the itinerary for our 2018 Inspired Workshops in Ireland!<br />
<br />
We have put together an amazing mixture of sightseeing, photography and fellowship that everyone will enjoy. Whether you photograph for a living, as a hobby, or you just love sightseeing and capturing images on your iphone, this Inspirational Workshop is sure to rejuvenate your spirit, mind and body.<br />
<br />
There will be Walking. There will be Castles. There will be Beer. There will be Pubs. There will be Irish Music. And there will be some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world to photograph. It is our hope to be able to provide a gorgeous image of each attendee or couple as we tour this beautiful land...more information about that coming.<br />
<br />
We do not want our tour group to be TOO BIG, so we are limiting the size to 20 attendees.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is our tentative itinerary.<br />
This hits the highlights, but there will be much, much more as we finalize all the little details.</div>

When it is slow at your studio or home business, what do you do?<br />
<br />
Do you go to lunch everyday with friends?<br />
Catch up on the TV you missed during the Christmas Rush?<br />
Twiddle your thumbs?<br />
Do you wonder how other photographers stay busy year round?<br />
<br />
Well, after 22 years in this business, I have NEVER figured out how to get portrait sessions in the door during the months of January and February. I have run every special known to man and it JUST DOESN'T WORK!!! So instead of fighting the inevitable, I give myself many projects to do. My list is a MILE long and I am as busy now as I was during the Christmas rush. Only this is a different kind of busy.<br />
<br />
The Top 10 Things I DO when it is slow is listed in the above graphic. One of the things on my list, is to make a better effort to keep this blogsite up to date. As I am a working photographer who teaches on the side, this site always tends to fall to the wayside when things are busy. So now I have said it and I guess I need to make it happen.<br />
<br />
So, instead of wondering what you are going to do today.....MAKE A LIST!!!<br />
Every day work on ticking things off that list. Some of these "projects" may take an hour, and some of them a week or more. The thing is, if you don't write it down and hold yourself accountable, it will NOT happen.<br />
<br />
I want 2014 to be a VERY PROFITABLE year for me! I have three BOYS to feed. I have to pay for their basketball, new shoes every month it seems and OMG....COLLEGE! Trey and I make a LIVING doing photography and we HAVE to be profitable or else we may be living out of our car! We want YOU to be profitable too!<br />
<br />
If you need help organizing your thoughts, or you don't even know where to start, consider purchasing our <a href="http://inspiredworkshops.blogspot.com/p/inspired-consulting.html" target="_blank">CONSULTING SERVICES</a>. As much as I would love to take every photographer's call or email asking my advice on all of the issues they are having, I can not do this for free. My time is valuable, as is yours. This is a wise investment of your time. One on One with either Trey or Myself.<br />
We are currently having a special *Buy 2 hours of consulting and get 1 free*<br />
<br />
Check out the details about our <a href="http://inspiredworkshops.blogspot.com/p/inspired-consulting.html" target="_blank">CONSULTING SERVICES.</a><br />
<br />
So, go get a sheet of paper and make a list of ALL the things you need to do. Then take the TOP 10 things that you think are MOST IMPORTANT to the success of your business. Prioritize those and get to work!<br />

So, it's February</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My calendar is....well, fairly empty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yet, everyday is like a race to see how much I can do before the 5:00 "bell" rings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me tell you what I am NOT doing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*spending time on facebook "stalking" other photographers pages</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*sulking that I am not busy enough</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*taking time off for "personal growth"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
etc, etc, etc</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I look forward to January and February so much!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my time to gather my thoughts about the future and MARKET like a MAD woman!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In January, my brain was in March. Right now, my brain is in April and May.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have decided after many years of trying...nobody wants to have their portrait made in January or February. It is simple. So we stopped trying. NOW, we are looking ahead to the time when our clients and potential clients are mentally ready to have portraits made.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Easter, Bluebonnets (or whatever spring wildflowers you might have) and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Senior portraits are getting ready to hit us pretty hard. YAY!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am ready to pick up my camera again and get to making some money!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So then Spring hits us and BAM! we have no time to market for the summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a vicious cycle!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So as soon as all of my marketing materials are prepared for the spring, I am moving on to the summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I usually spend about 2-3 days designing all of the marketing pieces for Spring and Summer </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then they are ready to go.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You know what they say....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
People who don't market are....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BROKE!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, if you are the one who has been on facebook for 2 hours now....GET OFF!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And get to the business of making money!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You may have this fabulous idea, but if no one knows about it....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok, ok, you get the hint!</div>
