Thank you Chris and Katie!!

We had a great PUG last night thanks to Chris and Katie Torres of 6 of Four! I love that they took us on their journey from the very beginning! I also LOVED the images from Recapture that they showed - what an amazing way to share your gifts and talents! Congrats to them on their great new website and their seamless look and feel for all aspects of their business!

It is very exciting to have people getting involved in our PUG! Thank you for everyone's input, thoughts and attendance! I am excited that we are continuing to grow and grow - so don't be shy! Let us know who you want to hear speak and how you would like to be involved!

I wanted to readdress some of the topics from last night......

Chris and Katie Torres from 6 of Four - April 10th

Chris and Katie Torres are the fabulously talented duo behind 6 of four photography here in Atlanta. They have generously agreed to come and chat with us about their journey through the business of wedding and portrait photography!

We are going to have a studio spotlight and talk about everything from how they got started, to how they define themselves in the market, to what inspired the non-profit organization RECAPTURE.

I can't wait for them to show off some of their beautiful work! They are such a dynamic pair with talent, business savvy and most importantly heart!

I hope you will join us 7pm Thursday July 10th at Java Vino and get ready to be inspired!

JavaVino is located at 579 N Highland Ave, Atlana GA 30307

Thank you Matt!!!

It was so great to see so many of you at the PUG last night!! I really enjoyed seeing so many new faces and seeing some familiar ones as well!
Thank you SO much to Matt Adcock for talking to us about Seeing The Light and Flash Flavor!

I love how candid and honest Matt is about his work! It is so great to see how his amazing talent comes from a place of fun, curiosity and play! I also loved hearing about how his background in theater inspired his passion and talent for seeing light!
I am so glad he came to speak with us and inspire us all to play, learn and be creative in our work.
THANK YOU!!
Next time - we insist that you bring your beautiful wife too!Thanks to Mark Adams of LaCour for the photo

THURSDAY PUG IT IS!

It seems pretty unanimous that Thursday is the night of choice!  

I like this idea too!  

SO - 

Our next PUG will be 

THURSDAY June 5th  

7pm-9pm  

at Java Vino in the room upstairs!

579 N. Highland Ave NE

Atlanta GA 30307

*** A quick note or two about JavaVino.  Last month Pictage was kind enough to pick up the room rental fee and provide delicious snacks! (including the cream puffs that I seem to have single-handedly devoured)  The fee is not much and I think we will easily cover it as purchases by anyone attending are subtracted from the cost.

So grab a coffee, wine or snack on your way upstairs so that we can keep meeting at this cool space!  Mention to them that you are with the PUG so it gets added to our total! 

ON PARKING

The baristas at JavaVino urged us to use the parking lots next door and across the street if theirs was full.  I pass this on only as what I was told and will update everyone if we learn otherwise!

I can't wait to see you all there and will be posting soon about our next speaker!  I'm very excited about hearing what he has to say!
