June/July 2006 NoBs Photo Success
Photography Forum Newsletter

To all Inner Circle Members.

PHOTOGRAPHY NEWS AND OTHER STORIES
FROM THE DIGITAL DOG BOWL

   
   

-STAND AND APPLAUD-

   


Just like this summer has been so far, this newsletter will be short and sweat. We cannot get over how "BUSY" everyone is with their photography business. It's wonderful to see all of you working so hard. We know summer is a busy time for everyone with weddings, seniors, family portraits and vacations, that is why we are preparing some outstanding products, information & videos for the fall. When things start to wind down in the fall, we are going to crank it back up for you. We are VERY excited and cannot wait to show you what is coming down the pipes of the NoBs Community. Have a great summer, shoot lots, and keep posting. :)

 

CONGRATULATIONS
to


Daybreakphoto, MoorePhoto, Jaco Fourie,

Also to announce Furi Books Studio Tour.

comfort of your own home/studio.

Success Corner

Brandon Pittam has been a member since the beginning, I was amazed how his photography has skyrocketed. His post this past month of his baby session made me realize just how valuable the information inside NoBs really is. After watching our video on one of our 4 month baby sessions, Brandon attempted a shoot of his own.

I asked Brandon to send me some BEFORE NoBs baby images and with his permission to post them in this newsletter.

We work hard and long hours at NoBs. You will find us working out of our cars, on airplanes, at the cottage (while we are supposed to be relaxing) and even during brithdays and anniversaries. However, sometimes when business calls, you do what you gotta do to get the job done.

Click Joce's Mug to see just how busy we are.
