Present an evening of discussion with Erin Blaskie

On using social media usage in your business

When you think of passionate love affairs, it’s not often that you also think about Internet Marketing.  However, when you meet Erin Blaskie, you realize that those two things meld together in a way that just makes sense.

Erin Blaskie started her first company at the age of 21.  After launching BSETC, a professional outsourcing team, she joined forces with some of the top Internet Marketers to support, build, grow and sell some amazing companies.  To date, Erin and her team have serviced over 300 entrepreneurs in countless countries around the world.

Five years and a few more businesses later, Erin has put her hands on every style of business out there.  Always one to figure out how things on the Internet work, she has made it her livelihood to experiment with the latest technologies, ideas and to even create concepts that didn’t exist before.

As a multi-faceted entrepreneur, Erin has been featured in five print books; received two awards at the 2010 Bootstrap Awards; honoured as Office Arrow’s 2008 Runner-Up Business Woman of the Year; interviewed by countless gurus and media personalities; featured in major news outlets such as Chatelaine, Costco Connection, ABC and CBC; and asked to speak at both national and international events.

The evening will consist of a presentation from Erin followed up by questions and group discussion.

I’ll be there!

Hi there!

I think it’s very important for a photographer to get to know the bride and groom-to-be before their big day.  A good way to accomplish that is to offer the couple a pre-wedding photo session. Continue reading

Bonjour!

Je reviens du congrès du PPOC-ON (Professional Photographers of Ontario) avec une belle récompense, le prix du photographe portraitiste de l’année 2010 pour l’Ontario.

C’est très valorisant de voir son travail reconnu pas ses pairs, ça nous encourage à continuer et aller un plus loin.

C’est toujours plaisant de remporter un prix mais encore plus lorsque c’est relié à notre passion, la preuve que si on fait ce que l’on aime, ça ne peut faire autrement que fonctionner.

Merci à mes clients, famille et amis qui m’ont soutenu et encouragé au cours des années, sans vous, ce prix aurait beaucoup moins d’importance.

Hello!

I’m back from Toronto with a nice surprise,  PPOC-ON (Professional Photographers of Ontario) Portrait Photographer of 2010.

Thanks to all my clients, friends and family, without you, this wouldn’t mean much.

Qu’est-ce qu’une accréditation?

L’accréditation est le premier échelon après le niveau de membre général.
On y accède en présentant des exemples de travail à un comité de révision
du PPOC pour l’accréditation.
L’accréditation démontre que le photographe est en mesure de livrer une
qualité supérieure de travail photographique dans la catégorie choisie. En
analysant les présentations pour l’accréditation, les juges considèrent les
critères suivants :
Impact, Créativité, Style, Composition, Présentation, Équilibre de couleur,
Centre d’intérêts, Éclairage, Sujet, Qualité d’impression, Technique, Histoire
racontée.

What Accreditation Means (excerpt ftom PPOC website)

Accreditation denotes the first elevation above the general membership level, and is achieved by submitting samples of the applicant’s photography to a PPOC Board of Review. The award proves that the photographer is capable of delivering above average quality of photographs in a chosen category of photography.

Some of the criteria judges use in assessing Accreditation submissions are: impact, style, presentation, creativity, composition, centre of interest, colour balance, lighting, subject matter, print quality, technique, and story telling.
