Jodi McDonald Couples Featured - Sunshine Coast Wedding Photographer

February 22, 2010 – 9:44 am

A couple of my 2009 couples have been featured in two current Bridal Magazines. Mina & Cameron were married at Rainbow Beach - I used their images for a two-page advert in Sunshine Coast Brides. Kelly & Nico were married at Noosa Beach with their reception at The Planatation in Cooroy - a four page spread in Sunshine Coast Brides - real wedding story. And Nadine & Cameron were married last February at Twin Waters Golf Club - another real wedding story featured in Queensland Brides. Both publications available in newsagents now. All three of these weddings have a gallery on my Sunshine Coast Wedding Photography Website if you would like to see more of each. * No pressure for Mina & Cameron - Kelly & Nico recently had a baby girl and Nadine & Cameron are about to become parents…………. Congrats to all my past couples & 2010 promises to be more of the same.

Out of Office - Sunshine Coast Photographer

August 23, 2009 – 11:44 am

I will be out of the office from Monday 24th - Thurs 27th August. I will try to return emails and phone calls when I get a chance if possible when away - otherwise Friday will be the day.

It is that time of year again - August Exposure. 4 days of inspiration and networking.  I believe it is important to attend workshops, seminars and conferences that will challenge me, strengthen my business and keep the creative juices flowing. I try and attend as many as my schedule, family and purse will allow throughout the year and each time I come away refreshed, motivated and inspired to push my work and business to new levels.

Just this week I attended a AIPP workshop on DAM (Digital Asset Management) - file management, workflow, archiving.  As I don’t outsource any of my work and continually try to streamline my workflow without sacrificing quality I am always open to any little edge to improve my workflow.  Being a member of the AIPP enables me to attend workshops by the experts - also great for networking with other photographers.

So after this week away it is flat chat for weddings - I am very excited to show off my super clients!!!!!

Of course a post needs an image (or 4) - my youngest Lucy. Who said you couldn’t get sunflare inside!!!! She is a very funny kid - need a sense of humour when your #4 I am sure. Lovin the dreamy soft look of these. Too cute. She will have a great time with Dad while I’m gone.

The Future of Photography - Sunshine Coast Photographers Meeting

June 4, 2009 – 5:33 pm

So I was talking to Ross today and he said there has been problems with server/mail applications not letting his email through to some.  He has a huge database for the coast though if you are a local photographer and have not received this take a look. This will be a great night - if you are new to the coast or new to photography don’t be shy - just the networking alone will be worth it. Ross has set up a blog as a communication & network site for all Sunshine Coast Photographers - coastphotographers.blogspot.com See you there.

Business Seminar - Greg Dries

April 21, 2009 – 6:15 pm

So whether we as photographers like it or not - capturing amazing images is only half of operating a successful studio - the business side is just as important. Being more of the creative beings, photographers find the business side sometimes a bit more of a challenge. I’ve attended seminars by Greg Dries from Moods Photography before and gained so much inspiration and definitive information. Besides being an awesome photographer he is very proactive in educating other photographers to be smart ethical respectful business owners. Many of you will recognize one of his signature images below. New to the industry or not if you get a chance to attend one of his Seminars - DO IT!!!!!!!!! Thanks Greg.

Mercury Workshop - Brisbane

February 20, 2009 – 11:21 am

So yesterday fellow coast photographer Leanne and I travelled to Bris Vegas to attend a business workshop with the 2008 Canon Australian photographer of the Year Mercury Megaloudis. You would go just for the name….. It was an inspirational workshop focussed on giving your business a kick in the butt. He covered doing great business in bad times, marketing, studio operations, branding, style and much more. Mercury has a great positive outlook on everything not just photography and he is falling over himself (literally) to share with fellow photographers.  A couple of his award winning images below - if you ever get the chance to attend a Mecury Megaloudis Workshop - don’t hesitate.
