Hey everybody!
In anticipation of WPPI, I’ve interviewed the MpixPro booth speakers so you can get to know them just a little bit better before their presentations.  Of course, you probably already know them. Because we’re running a new post each day, make sure to come back tomorrow.
I first met Arden early 2009 when we were [...]

We have a special treat for everyone attending WPPI next week in Las Vegas. Shannon and Stephanie Smith of 831 Photography will be in the MpixPro Booth (#611) sharing their secrets to growing your business by using Zenfolio.
And if you missed it, Zenfolio has a new launch just in time for WPPI. They have a [...]

Hey everybody!
One of my favorite things about going to tradeshows is that I get to see all my photographer buddies. One of my favorite, lively photographer friends is Carey. She, like me, gets to hang out in the booth and chat with photographers. If you happen to have questions about MpixPro, she is [...]

Hey everybody!
I’m super excited about today’s post. Bobbi and I have been friends since we met in March at a great three day workshop where we were on the same team. Over those three days, I saw her laugh until she cried, and cry until she laughed. She is hilarious, she is [...]

So, when we decided [...]

Hey everybody,

My favorite college photography professor, Mike Gullett, told me something during one of our independent class sessions that I’ve never forgotten:

Hey everybody!

I’m a professional plate spinner living in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
You know, the people who have all these plates spinning on poles, running around like a crazy person keeping everything afloat, praying that it all doesn’t come crashing down. Yep, that’s me… as a metaphor.  I started Benfield Photography, a boutique wedding and portrait photography company, [...]

In an effort to provide more relevant tools to today’s photographers, we
will be expanding the scope of the blog in 2010. The first logical step
is to have friends of MpixPro contribute periodically to the blog. One
of our first guest bloggers is Dale Benfield. Dale is a very successful
wedding and portrait photographer in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Dale [...]
