We moved from San Diego (James’ hometown) to Roseville (my hometown) over 5 years ago. James always had a love of photography, but our serious passion for it began when Reilly was a baby…we just couldn’t keep the camera off of her! After James informed me he would be setting up a studio in our basement to photograph Reilly, the former financial planner in me decided it was also going to become a place where we could photograph others. Well, here we are 5 years later and could have never imagined that Enchanted Images would become what it has. We feel incredibly blessed to be working together doing something we both love. Not only that, we get to meet and work with the best people and create portraits that may have more significance than we’ll ever know. www.enchantedimageslife.com www.enchantedseniors.com www.facebook.com/enchantedimages   Here is a link to the fashion shoot teaser video: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1114115857904 Right Click on link to download MP3 File: James and Stefani Hayes

Online Communities and Certification{audio}http://media.behindthecameratalk.com/podcasts/012-070809-Forums%20and%20Certification.mp3{/audio} Online Communities are a big thing, they can really help users with learning, sharing and meeting new people with the same interests. Today I will be talking about the differences in communities. About free communities and paid communities. What to look for in selecting the community you want to be involved with and also how to utilize them for your business. Here is a short list of communities I have tried out over the years as a pro photographer: http://www.pro4um.comhttp://www.phototalkforum.comhttp://www.dpreview.comhttp://www.photosig.comhttp://www.digitalphotopros.comhttp://spartists.com/http://www.ppa.com/community/http://www.franksbabyplan.com/FBP/Welcome.htmlhttp://www.digitalweddingforum.com/ These are just a few community websites you can start with to get involved. In the second part of the show, I interviewed 2 certified photographers named Lisa Duncan www.lisaduncanphotography.com and Tod Gomes www.creativelookphoto.com both are members of the NCPP (Northern California Professional Photographers) and they share there experiences as certified photographers. Each shares thoughts on the process, benefits and etc... on getting certified. You will hopefully walk away from the interview with some fresh ideas on why to get certified. I know I will be working to get mine now. http://www.ppa.com/education-events/certification.php to learn more about getting your certification. Enjoy the show and as always, leave your comments or call our feedback line and leave a comment, 925-270-0457. Would love to hear your opinion on getting certified, what forums you visit and whatever else is on your mind.
