After a long day of travel yesterday, we woke up this morning on the coast of Southern Spain and the weather is gorgeous. We'll be in the Andalucia region for the next 10 days for our annual corporate retreat. We're looking forward to spending some undistracted time making plans for our businesses this year and enjoying a little bit of relaxation at the same time. We'll update more soon!

We set a new record for our studio last night! Over 70 photographers partied with LaCour and Couture Book. It was so much fun to connect with old friends and meet new ones. Thanks for coming by!

A special thanks to Dave Luebke and the Couture Book team for creating such an incredible vehicle for photographers to showcase their work!

And thanks to Will Godfrey for shooting so many photos.

Here's a photo recap...


With so many familiar faces, it was like a LaCour Business of Storytelling reunion! Past workshop students Regina Holder, Laura Stone, Kelly Lee Flora, Delaney Holliman and Darren Carter reconnected.

A ROCKSTAR made a cameo appearance...


The Rockstar charmed everyone by serving as bartender. Fellow NC photographer and über-rockstar Parker Pfister seemed to be really charmed by his buddy. Or, it could have been the G&T's they were mixing!



Jenny Tarpley checked out Couture Books firsthand with Dave Luebke's attentive help...



There was lots of laughter...



and lots of cameras...



Hayden Linke won our hearts with his adorable expressions



So did his Dad...



The party is best summed up by Mark's brother, Ken, with this expression...



Thanks everyone for coming to the party!

...Even at the Mall!

Right now we're at the Apple Store and I couldn't resist sharing this photo with you all...shot with my iPhone in the middle of the Apple store! Haha.

Andrew and Mark decided to test out some ShootQ stuff on the spot. So, without further adieu, here's the ShootQ team, always working for you!

Too funny :)

Thanks to everyone who came to hear us share about Storytelling at the Digital Wedding Forum Convention in Tampa. We had a great time meeting all of you! Your questions were fantastic and incisive. It's always a pleasure speaking to groups of photographers who are eager to learn and share ideas with one another.

A special thanks to Charlie Pappas for photographing during the presentation! Charlie is a talented photographer from Atlanta who we've finally gotten to know after years of living in the same city!
