In November of 2009, my friends Matt & Enna Grazier gathered some friends and asked us to if we’d be interested in helping them put together a conference for local New England photographers.  Sounded great to me, and just 3 short months later, Inspire Boston was underway!  It was such an awesome time of learning and networking – everyone had a blast.  Check out this great video that Richard Esposito put together for it:

In fact, it went so great that we decided to do it all again this year!  Fast forward a few months, and here I am today, sitting in the Colonial Inn in Concord, bracing myself for the start of Inspire Boston 2011!  This year we’ve made it a little longer, added some more shooting workshops, improved our mentoring sessions, and added a Vendor Lounge.  I’m so pumped!  Plus, this year I’m actually speaking at the conference…gulp!  Enna Grazier and I are speaking on Creating a Sustainable Brand, and I’m both excited and also nervous :)  It’s going to be a great couple of days though!  Hopefully I’ll be able to share some photos and such later in the week!
