This post is part link love and part real love for what Justine Ungaro has brought me in terms of her knowledge about the portrait photography business over the course of the last few months. I belong to an online forum for professional wedding photographers and Justine has made a name for herself as one the most successful portrait photographers on the planet. That's really no exaggeration. She freely shares information and is clearly a wonderful teacher. I remember reading about some of her marketing materials and requesting that she send me just one sample for me to check out. Three days later I received a packet from her containing all of her samples. Woah! How cool is that?

And so, she is taking her skills on the road. Justine and her mom Diana, also a terrific photographer, are conducting a workshop in DC called “The Modern Portrait.” The associated blog is located here.

“We are not going to try to teach you how to be a photographer or how to be a better photographer. You can learn that anywhere. We are going to give you the tools and the knowledge to sell more of what you are already creating, how to price yourself for a higher sale , how to present your images for maximum impact and how to keep your clients coming back for more.”

Music to my ears. I would love to go. I want to win the scholarship Justine is offering. It's as simple as that. So, please do me a favor and click on this link (all 389 of you!) to send her some link love. Valentine's Day is around the corner isn't it?
