              I've been around our industry long enough to see some
              enormous changes overtake us, but none has fascinated
              me more that the arrival of the Boutique Studio
              model. This fascinating business concept approaches
              branding in a way that finally recognizes the
              importance of marketing to women. After all, we've
              known for years that women comprise the most
              influential market for most aspects of professional
              studio portraiture and wedding photography. So I'm
              really excited about having the opportunity to
              present a platform program at Imaging USA in January.
              It's entitled "The Boutique Studio Revolution," and
              here's what you'll learn:

              I'll also have the honor of moderating a roundtable
              discussion on Tuesday, January 8 at 3:00 P.M. I won't
              have much to say during this program because of all
              the high-powered talent on the platform:</span>

              Resort on Grand Bahama Island was a wonderful setting
              to debut the new marketing program that I've been so
              eager to share with other photographers! Over the
              past year I've become fascinated with the boutique
              studio model because the concept behind each studio
              is unique and focused, and branding is a key to its
              success.
