Why Jules Loves her Hip Clutch~
" I love how stylish the bag is and i love that i do not have to wear pants that require a belt, My favorite feature is the functionality and ease of having my Iphone on me and how organized, safe and easy it is to access my CF Cards."

]]> GO|BEE is a proud sponsor of HOG For KIDS http://www.gobeebags.com/news.cfm?postID=35 http://www.gobeebags.com/news.cfm?postID=35 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 14:59:00 GMT
Gustavo Fernandez, a Children International sponsor and professional wedding and portrait photographer, combines his passion for photography and his love of motorcycles to help poor children around the world in a campaign called H.O.G. for Kids. This second annual ride, named for his love of his Harley-Davidson motorcycle and photography, kicks off Gustavos goal to sponsor 50 children from the Dominican Republic.

Gustavo rides his Harley-Davidson 100 YR Anniversary Fatboy to cities like Phoenix, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York to photograph children. In return, he asks the childrens families to sponsor a child from the Dominican Republic.

Join Gustavo Fernandez and the H.O.G. for Kids Campaign to sponsor a child. Its easy and fun to sponsor a child! Search through the Children International database for the boy or girl from the Dominican Republic you wish to sponsor. Your one-to-one connection will create lasting change in a childs life.

The HOG For Kids Project is designed to raise awareness and support for impoverished boys and girls in the Dominican Republic (DR). Many Dominican children grow up in extreme poverty, giving them a disadvantaged start in life. As these children transition to adolescence and later adulthood, breaking the cycle of poverty is daunting.

First, Gustavo will embark on a cross country tour of the United States on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle (the HOG).

This 2nd annual ride will include visits to clients and friends, with stops in at least 18 cities including Phoenix, Los Angeles, Denver, St. Louis, Chicago, Pittsburg and New York.

Gustavo will perform a photo shoot of the children of these clients free of charge. In return Gustavo will ask them to support a needy child in the DR through the sponsorship program of Children International, an international humanitarian organization based in Kansas City, Missouri.

If You would like to Help Gustavo reach his Goal to help 50 needy children grow to be healthy, educated and prepared to meet the challenges of adulthood while raising awareness about child poverty around the world.

Discovering Italy: Workshop/Tour with Kenny Kim
September 14-21, 2009: Tuscany/Umbria

This is not a typical sit down in a classroom setting type of workshop. You will be traveling with Kenny Kim to various parts of Italy immersing yourself in their culture and learning about their way of life.

Caputuring this with your cameras along the way!

Whether you are an avid professional wedding photographer or someone just starting out in photography that is interested in learning more, you will fall in love with Italy.
I sure did!
If you have never been to Italy, this photography workshop is the best way to capture your experience and document lasting memories. If you have already been to Italy before, then I do not need to convince you to go back - except to mention that you get to travel back with a company of folks that share the same passion as you: photography! This trip will not just help you discover Italy - soon you will be discovering yourself in the process. It really is a life changing experience.

This is an all inclusive trip (lodging at hotels, bed ... breakfast inns inside medieval cities, 9 meals (breakfast ... dinner and a couple of lunches), ground transportation, guided tour by a professional native italian, model shooting, plus more) We purposely left out the lunches so that you can explore and sample some of the local foods on your own or together as a group. You are responsible for airfare from your city to/from Rome (FCO).

More details about the workshop is posted on the workshop website: http://store.kennykim.com/italy/



]]> A Bebbinar you dont want to miss! http://www.gobeebags.com/news.cfm?postID=32 http://www.gobeebags.com/news.cfm?postID=32 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 01:41:00 GMT Bebbinar? What's a Bebbinar?

As you can guess Sara and I are BIG BEBB FANS!

Well, it is a multi-day workshop, taught by Stephen and Jennifer Bebb ( who just happened to be named one of the TOP 10 Photographers in the World), that focuses on real solutions for you and your business.

4 full days of intense instruction will take your business and photography to the next level. You will be Bebbacized (as one attendee said) and your business will never be the same again


How about your image (not your images)? Does it say what you want it to say? Are you attracting the right kinds of clients and making them happy? Do you know what your style is and does it weave through everything (and I mean everything) that you do?

The Bebbinar is not for those who want it all on a silver platter. We're going to ask you to check your egos and excuses at the door and walk in with open hearts, open minds and ready to work. We're going to challenge everything you thought you were doing right - we'll force you to think about branding, marketing, work flow, and consistency in a way that you may not have before.

And the shooting...yes, there is shooting. Get ready to shoot in the sun, the rain or even the snow (we have no idea!). Yes, you can handle it and so can your cameras! We'll teach you about different ideas for posing and composition. We'll divide the class into smaller groups so that you can have more one-on-one instruction.

The Bebbinar is taught by the Bebbs, but it's not about the Bebbs. It's about each of you. You are all individuals and we give you indvidual solutions for what is holding you back.

Don't you deserve to work less than 60 hours a week? Don't you want to make more money? A lot more money? Don't you want to be the very best photographer you can be? Don't you want to have the happiest clients around? If you are struggling in even one of these areas, we'll see you soon!

So, here is the 411:

Practical tools that you can incorporate immediately.

This is a seminar about the real world: how to make great images and have your business thrive.

Stephen ... Jennifer will cover the following topics:


* style and branding
* consistency
* customer service
* presentation and attitude
* shooting assignments and review
* light: where, when and how to use it
* sales sessions: what works and how to make them love you
* final presentations: it doesn't end here
* work flow
* the 4 day work week
* differentiation
* and more...

Bebbinar DATES, 2009

Brighton, UK: June 16 - 18

North Vancouver:November 3 - 5 witha opening reception on November 2nd at Bebb Studios
