Last night was our monthly CNY PUG (Pictage User Group) meeting for professional photographers! Unfortunately a few of our members couldn’t make it due to little life events, like oh going to have a baby any day now, dogs in surgery, sick kids, and jetting off to Florida… you know who you are :) Luckily for the rest of us, it was a super informative meeting as well as being loads of fun… oh hello Dash Riprock. We wanted to give a big GIANT THANK YOU to Kevin Kubota and the amazing PR Princess Wendi at Kubota Images for donating our fantastic door prize. The uber fab Laure Lillie was this month’s door prize winner, and the rest of us are delighted with our coupons. As you can clearly see below…

A big thank you to everyone for making those long wintery drives to be here last night! xoxo, Alice

Last night was the third meeting for our Central New York Pictage User Group (PUG). We were so thrilled to have Steve DePino drive all the way from Connecticut to speak to our group. We’ve got a great group of core members, and also welcomed a few newcomers!

Steve was really lucky to win last night’s door prize donated by super cool Shai at www.spiderholster.com. Here is Steve gun slinging it Wyatt Earp style..

What would a Central New York PUG meeting be without our mascot… my very own pug Lulu…

I couldn’t be happier with the turn out of our first ever CNY PUG (Pictage User Group) meeting! Seriously, it was a great night, and there are so many people to thank!

First, and most importantly, a BIG OL’ THANKS to the amazing Justin and Mary Marantz for such an in depth and truly beneficial presentation. These two were so generous with our group. I know we all walked away from the meeting as better business owners!

Another big thank you to all of the fantastic photographers that came out from all over the Central New York area! You guys rock, and I want you to all come back to next month’s meeting…

Shai Eyan gave the group a really fun demonstration of his new product called the Spider Holster… love the name!

Super big thanks to Dane Sanders author of Fast Track Photographer, for donating an audio version of his book as last night’s door prize! Congratulations again, Marianne, for being the lucky winner! Last but certainly not least, I need to send some hugs and kisses to my awesome family… Beth, Sally, and of course Mom! They helped me so much the last couple of weeks to get ready for this first meeting! The cupcakes were a big hit! Yummm…

After the meeting a few of us had a late night meal at Syracuse’s own Dinosaur BBQ!…. Mmmm, love them drunkin’ shrimp! You can check out Justin and Mary’s video here.

it’s going to be a good night {tonight}

October 6th is a big day/night for me. I’ve been counting down to it. Why? Well, it’s very exciting…

As a longtime member of the Pictage community, I am so happy to announce that I have started a local Pictage User Group (aka PUG) in Central New York. If you are not familiar with Pictage, it is the awesome online service lab for professional photographers everywhere. Exciting right? Well, it gets even better! Justin and Mary Marantz, wedding and portrait photographers extraordinaire, are driving their Mini Cooper all the way from Connecticut to present their super awesome program: Creating Loyalty Beyond Reason.

This meeting is tonight: Tuesday October 6th at 7:30 pm in Baldwinsville, NY. Please come if you can!
