Last year Joe and I took our first trip ever to WPPI.  We signed up for some meet ups with photographers, a couple shoots, etc.  As soon as I found out about the Thirst Relief Mentor Auction I started reading on every photographer listed, watching the auction, and bidding.  I bid on alot of auctions, I think Joe was VERY nervous for a while there, haha!  I set a budget for myself and in the last seconds lost out on an auction I wanted badly.  It didn’t matter, I believed in Thirst Relief.  I believed in the work they were doing and I wanted to help.  Even though I didn’t win I still donated that money to Thirst Relief.  A couple days later the mentor I had been bidding on found out I had been bidding on him and asked if I was willing to give a little more to Thirst Relief he would give me a mentor session.  I said HECK YES!

This mentor session forever changed me, forever changed my business.  I’m forever grateful.  And this year, it’s my turn to give back! YUP!

So first if you don’t know what Thirst Relief is GO CHECK IT OUT!!! Jim Davis-Hicks and his wife are great people who have started an amazing organization that saves lives! Or here, let me help you

I am so excited to be a part of the mentor auction this year with MANY other AMAZING photographers!  I have always had the desire to give back and help out other photographers and I can’t wait to find out who I get to spend time with!! Each mentor is offering a 90 minute session along with anything else they’d like to give.  I’ll be offering 1 year of free Showit, PASS software, 1 year subscription to the upcoming photography and design magazine Smidgen, and a photo session with me! YAY!!!
Go check out the auction!
