The [b]ecker

I was so excited today to drive 90 miles to Mission Viejo for the mentoring session with the [b]ecker. At my day job, it was month end close which means a really busy week, but this was a time that [b]ecker had suggested, so I was delighted to spend a 90 minute lunch with him. I’ve been watching the study hall videos on the [b]school and with his personality, I knew I was in for a great time. I met [b]ecker at his studio. When I first got there, I looked through a couple of his albums…he shot a wedding at the Vatican! We talked about marketing, talking with clients, workflow, starting a business, networking and other items. He also shared his marketing materials with me which have great presentation, but that he is in the process of changing…continuous improvement, even when your at the top!

We followed our discussion with a great lunch at The Cheesecake Factory. [B]ecker went way beyond the 90 minute session and actually spent 3 1/2 hours with me.

Here’s an unsolicited plug for the [b]school. If you’re a photographer and not already a member, what are you waiting for? It’s only $10/month or $100 a year. It’s a resource of information for photographers.

Love the green this time of year. I took this picture on my iPhone on the way back from the mentor to show Bob how greeeeeeen it is right now.
