Day 1447 – Post For Business Owners – The Next Big Buzz Live – Mara Glazer

As you may have read, I am friends with many amazing entrepreneurs and business owners. I feel almost spoiled, to be honest! Having such wise (and very successful) friends really helps to push me in my business. Mara Glazer is just such a friend! She continually inspires me.

Today, I am attending a four hour event about getting more buzz for your business. I’m super excited about it…but I’m more excited for her THREE day event in August! I asked Mara to give me some info about it, because I would just say something like….”um, it’s going to be a business event where you’ll learn how to market yourself and make more money….yea!”

So, without further ado, here’s Mara’s description!! (Sounds just a little bit better than what I said!)

Mara Glazer, social media and marketing strategist at maraglazer.com is hosting a LIVE event in the beautiful Baltimore, MD August 2nd-4th and wanted to share with you all about it!

This event is all about how to get ‘More Buzz, More Bizz, More Money + Experience Real Life Changing Wealth!’

Who doesn’t want more buzz for their bizz?

Over 3 bizzy and information-packed days you’ll discover:

  • The secrets that allowed Mara to generate an additional 7-figures in less than 278 days.
  • How to create more “Buzz” in your business by thinking like a celebrity.
  • How to finally demystify the web and social media channels to explode your business and capture more leads…even if you’re a technophobe!
  • How to create a business that supports your life while letting you bring in serious moolah.
  • PLUS… Network with over 200 serious women and men entrepreneurs so you can find new clients, create joint venture partnerships, and get to know some seriously awesome peeps.

    Most importantly, you’ll discover how to get known (and get PAID) for what you do best!

    And you might be thinking, “How does this benefit me?”

    Well, let me tell you. At this event, you aren’t going to just learn the big ideas that made Mara successful, but amazing takeaways you can implement right away! Not only will you be applying the stuff you learn, you’ll also have the opportunity to network with other great entrepreneurs for potential JV partnerships!

Day 1439 – Behind The Scenes At The Miller Wedding – White Marsh Wedding Photographers

There always seem to be a few pictures that don’t make it into the final set…but are still absolutely hilarious! A lot of the time, Bret is the main reason the shot is so funny. Well, he did not disappoint with the miller wedding!

Thanks Rob for helping to model!

This is the scariest picture I have ever taken of Bret.

And this is the scariest picture he has ever taken of me! Holy angry face Jen!

I love how Bret is trying to catch up with the flash and he’s just like, um, here you go.

Bret gives new meaning to the phrase “creepy photographer.”

And now for this wedding’s “Where’s Bret?”

It wouldn’t be a wedding without Bret doing a little photobombing…

Despite the photobombing, isn’t this an AMAZINGLY lit shot? I LOVE this new flash system! Woo hoo!!

Day 1432 – I’m Loving This Off-Camera Flash Set-Up! (I Can’t Wait To Implement It At Weddings!)

I’ve been spending the last few days filling my brain Matrix style with information about off-camera flash….and it’s been working!

After a little snafu today, I think I’m good to go!

Here’s a few of my test shots….first of my new lens…

This one isn’t totally in focus, but too funny to keep to myself!

Day 1431 – Whew! What A Week!

As you may have seen (if you’re reading this “real-time”), I’ve been slacking with the blog posting! If you’re reading this “later-time,” then you have no idea what I’m talking about…so read on reader. 😉

You may have also seen that I’ve been housesitting since last Tuesday…I kept up a little bit…but not much… I’ve had a WONDERFUL time here! From Wednesday through Saturday, my youngest brother hung out here (since Bret was backpacking and I didn’t want to be alone!)….we spent pretty much the whole time watching ALL 3 seasons of Downton Abbey. Holy smokes! I still don’t know why I liked it so much…I guess mostly the character development….yea, no idea. Sunday was filled with church and things around the house…Monday was my errand day! Got a new camera body, lens AND flash, as you saw. I started to get back into the work swing of things…I have a wedding this weekend AND next!…vacation time is over! I am so thankful for more time off though. It’s been great getting so much rest. Now I’m all ready to photograph some AWESOME weddings! Both are outside….doing a few rain dances for June 15th and June 21st!!!! Both have some fantastic details that I’ve never seen/shot before! But you’ll just have to wait and see what those are!

I’ve also been thinking a lot about how awesome Bret is….I know, I know, I say this often…but it is a blog about marriage, so you should expect it! Anyways…he has been working so hard for us so that I can do photography full-time. It is something that I appreciate so very very much. What better way to show this than by sharing a picture that almost completely represents this! What I also love about Bret, this shot and the photography business is that he enjoys it as much as I do. 🙂 Love you Mr. Gaitan.
