October meeting

Our October meeting will be 10/21/2009 at the Sheraton Columbia. Our speaker is Stephanie Millner and the topic is pet photography.

FURBALLS! The Art of Pet Photography
Stephanie A. Millner, CPP

Stephanie Millner, CPP will share her approach to creating beautiful and timeless pet portraiture using a very simple studio set up and some easy techniques to control animal behavior. Learn appropriate lighting for texture, how to properly treat-bait pets, and how to create an image the pet parents will forever treasure. She will explain working with troublesome pets, behavior problems, and quick-trick training during sessions. Post-processing and sales will also be discussed.

Ms. Millner owns and operates a portrait studio in Alexandria, VA. As her focus is on pets and animal photography, she works closely with many local animal shelters to help place homeless pets in their forever homes. She is an award-winning and certified professional photographer with special certification endorsements in weddings and (pet) portraiture. She is currently working on a line of high-end destination pet portraiture to debut in Italy in 2010.
Ms. Millner lives with her husband, David, and her Shetland-sheepdog, Hailey. Her hobbies include dog agility, Facebook’s Packrat, and procrastinating on Instant Messenger with other photographer friends. Somehow, she considers this "work time" although hasn’t quite justified it yet.
