Three Weddings...
And a Funeral
with Lewis and Carol Kincheloe

If you have ever been midway through a wedding reception and thought to yourself "my funeral might be more fun that this" then this program is for you. Lewis and Carol Kincheloe will share with us steps taken to regain control of their time and business. The Kincheloe's opened their business in 1989 relying solely on weddings. Today the studio photographs less than thirty weddings a year while their bottom line continues to grow. They have "stacked the deck" in their favor by removing or tweaking products and services that were not most profitable.

These studio policies when combined with their transition to a digital studio alongg with Lewis' Fine Art background have put the "FUN" back into weddings. They will share how to make it easy for brides to buy what you want to sell and also have them signing your praises. Lewis will cover how to quickly and effortlessly capture the "Must Have" images that most weddings contains, allowing you time to concentrate on the love and emotion of the wedding day. Topics covered will include double lighting, flow posing, album design and the importance of taking care of not only your client but your fellow vendors.

Carol brings with her over 15 years office management experience before joining the studio full time in 2001. Today she is studio manager and in-house Photoshop guru. Lewis Kincheloe is a PPA Certified Master Photographer and holds Associate Degrees from the Austin Guild and Texas Professional Photographers Association.

Kincheloe photographed his first wedding in 1988 and is still going strong today, having won "Best Custom Wedding Presentation by a Master" from TPPA in 2003, 2004, and 2005. Since entering print competition in 1997 Lewis has been one of the most awareded phtoographers in the Southwest with five images accepted into PPA's loan collection and has been awarded five Fuji Masterpiece Awards in four different categories. Lewis' images are also included in the Hunnington Gallery and the International Photography Hall of Famie in Oklahoma City, OK. Please join us for this fast paced program. After all, we became phtoographrs because it was going to be "fun"... Right!
