Liana's Photo Business Boot Camp

It's difficult to get a group of photographers together without breaking out the cameras!


Above is what I saw when it was MY turn to have my photo taken! I guess that's what I get for canceling my engagement session with my sweet, understanding fiance to go to a business workshop! (I received a last minute scholarship to attend!)

There were some amazingly inspiring women at the workshop. Among them is the fabulous Jamie Delanie (below).


Don't you think she's a Kirsten Dunst look alike???


I'll share some stunning photos of Beth Daane (above), who is glowingly pregnant during tomorrow's post.

Where in the world is Karen?

According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, more than 50% of small businesses fail in the first year and 95% fail within the first five years.

SO .... why am I posting this on Heartland Photography's blog? That's because I'm at a business workshop, getting more and more organized. It's important to be here for our amazing clients for YEARS to come!


Pictured are my super-excellent classmates (from left) Jamie Delanie, Ellen McRaney, Marie Bunke, Michelle and Liana Lehman.

Both Mike and I will be attending another workshop in 11 days as well (which should yield lots and lots of beautiful photos), so be sure to stay tuned for all sorts of exciting updates! AND if I'm lucky, tomorrow should hold some stellar photo-making as well.

Heartland photo for fundraiser

Our amazing graphic designer, Amy, contacted me Monday to see if she could use some of our pregnancy and newborn photos for a T-shirt design for the Pregnancy Care Center.

She's working on the design for their annual fundraiser, the Walk for Life, and wanted to use photos from Oliver's newborn session on the shirt.



I chatted with Mommy Amanda, who is uber excited about this, as are both Mike and I.

The registration deadline is Monday, so if you're interested, please click here to register.

Hope to see you there!
