www.belvederestBritney Kirby Fullgraf has been a professional photographer for only three years, but she has already made an impact on the industry. Her unique business model has attracted the attention of photographers across the country, including a number of noted professionals. Britney credits many PPA mentors for her success and says she has been overwhelmed by help, support and encouragement.

In February 2009, she began teaching The Boutique Studio for Private Schools. Britney’s high end approach to private schools teaches photographers to steer pre-qualified clients to their regular, private studios. Her workshops have enabled a number of photographers to secure their own schools…two of whom now photograph an entire franchise of private schools in the DFW area. Britney has hosted a number of photographers in Central Florida, as they have studied and observed her actual school shoots and other operations.

Her other workshops and programs include Focus on Sales and Social Networking for Photographers and she assists a number of photographers in growing their businesses, through her private consulting services.

Britney received the 2009 Distinguished award for the Professional Photographer’s Guild of Mid-Florida, based on print competition. She is an Honorary Trustee for PPA Charities and participates heavily on the national and state level with vendors and other speakers, as they help support Operation Smile. She serves on the board for Professional Photographers of Mid-Florida.  Britney is sponsored by BayPhoto.studio.com

HOTPPG Guild Meeting January

Sincerely,

Sarah Hess

HOTPPG President

We’ll meet at the Lake Brazos Steakhouse on Tuesday January 12th at 6pm for dinner and 7pm for Envisioning!

Get ready to learn a thing or two about yourself and why you are a GREAT photographer!

Be there to start 2010 off on the right foot!

Susan Dunkerley was born in Galveston, Texas and grew up in Columbia, Missouri. She has been a member of the Baylor Art Department faculty since 1997.

Her photographs have been published and exhibited nationally and in Europe. She is known for her black and white photographs documenting temporary collages and sets she constructs in her studio windows. Dunkerley’s photographs have been recognized with a number of awards, including the 2001 Fellowship from Silver Eye Center for Photography, Pittsburgh, PA, and the 2002 Carol Crow Memorial Fellowship Award from the Houston Center for Photography, Houston, TX. Dunkerley’s project, “Transmit,” an installation of stained glass panels with liquid photo emulsion and sandblasted imagery, was exhibited at the Galveston Arts Center, in conjunction with FotoFest 2004: The Tenth International Biennial of Photography and Photo-Related Art. “Transmit” is also included in Subjective Narratives, a catalog published by the Houston Center for Photography documenting seven solo exhibitions funded by a National Endowment for the Arts Creativity Grant. Dunkerley’s enchanted, window-lit constructs are represented in many private and public collections, including the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

Recent exhibition activity includes “Charmed,” a solo exhibition at the Print Center in Philadelphia, PA, and four of her photolithographs were included in the group show, New York/Paris DIALOGUE Paris/New York, exhibited in both Paris and in New York City. This fall, 20″x24″ Polaroid prints by Susan Dunkerley will be included in “Play,” a year-long group exhibition at Proteus Gowanus in Brooklyn, NY, and her work will be featured in a solo exhibition at Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, TX.
