Tears of joy and inspiration. Standing ovation by a packed audience. Six Awards of Excellence in the WPPI 2012 Print Competition incluing the big kahuna. These are just a few things that describe the magical Sue Bryce at WPPI last week. Craig Swanson and I had the pleasure of getting to know Sue in Las Vegas before she arrives in Seattle today for her upcoming 3-day Glamour Photography workshop on creativeLIVE starting this Friday March 2nd. In intimate conversations over lunch or in front of a large audiences, Sue shares her heart, soul and her brilliant business mind. You can't help but wish your time with Sue would last forever.
Sue's heart and soul emerge with every portrait she creates. But don't take my word for it. Sue celebrates the beauty of photography industry heroines Tamara Lackey, Catherine Hall and Pippin Walton in these stunning images.

The Christa Meola par-tay has started. Winter in Seattle is melting with the newfound heat already! Tuesday Christa and the cL crew took over a hotel room for a pre-shoot with a "real woman." Next was a vintage Mercedes 220S decorated with a lovely lingerie model, or maybe that was vice versa. ; ) Find the rest of our behind-the-scenes photos on Facebook!
