Back in April, I taught at a photography conference, and spoke about weddings.\u00a0 As part of the class, we had models and I gave the attendees a chance to work with them to get a little experience and to build their portfolio.\u00a0 Friday, we didn’t have a male model, and the skies were threatening to break loose, so we played with a bride and an umbrella in a field.<\/p>\n

That night, one of the attendees, Sam Clausen<\/a>, waved me over and showed me the following image on his laptop, and I was blown away!\u00a0 I was even more surprised to find out that he was still in high school, getting ready to graduate.\u00a0 This kid has more talent at 17 than a lot of experienced pros that I know!<\/p>\n

I wanted to share Sam’s image with you, as well as his testimonial from the class.<\/p>\n

“I’ve had my eye on wedding photography for a while but it was a big step for me. Wendi’s wedding seminar was by far the best opportunity for me to get started. I had tons of fun and learned a ton not only about wedding photography but also what I was actually capable of. Thanks Wendi!!”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sam, thank you for the kind words! I cannot wait to see you grow over the coming years.\u00a0 Good luck at Pittsburgh State this fall!\u00a0 See you in Tulsa in April?.<\/a><\/p>\n
