Announcing Our First Complete Workshop!
Business, Marketing and SEO
For the past two years I've gotten regular requests from friends, fans and fellow photographers for a workshop, and for two years I've sorta just ignored those requests. Well, today we are excited to announce our first ever full-day workshop.
2009 was a wild ride for a lot of photographers, and I heard from lots of shooters who were having a run of it this past year, and even a few who said their had to close their doors because of a lack of business. We have kept busy all year, and I was asked repeatedly how we were doing that. Well, this workshop will teach you just that.
 Correctly running your business as well as marketing yourself and your photography are KEY to your success. If you are not marketing, you are in for a scary ride, a ride you have no control over.
I've partnered up with my good friend and Search Marketing industry leader Kenny Hyder who will be presenting not only on online marketing, but also Seach Engine Optimization/SEO. Kenny regularly works with and consults for Fortune 500 and 100 businesses, helping to direct their online efforts and SEO.
We are super excited to share our combined knowledge and experience with photographers across the United States.
Our first workshop will be on January 23 in Santa Monica. Seats are limited. Reserve your seat and find out more about the workshop at hhworkshops.com - if you can't make it in January, stay tuned as we setup something for those arriving early to WPPI in Vegas!
Help Halberg Photographers Win!
I don't enter photo contests on a very regular basis (we tend to focus more on seeing our couple's images published in magazines) But, we're currently in the running and within reach of first place for the PDN Top Knots People's Choice Award. Not only is it an honor to be able to compete with so many other talented photographers, but also to be within reach of a first place finish.
Here's where you come in: This is the "People's Choice" category, meaning you decide who wins! We hope that you might be able to take a couple of minutes to help us by visiting this link:
You will need to click on the "vote now" button directly below the image and then enter your email address. (they won't spam you, this is just to verify you're a real person, and not me typing in fake email addresses all day - they will email you and you need to click on the verification link within that email in order for your vote to count) One additional note, I know there are a ton of other beautiful images that you can vote for, but if you do vote for someone else's photo using the same email address, your vote for us becomes void.
And here's a sneak peak of our image that is in the running:

Thank You All For Your Help Getting Us Here!
It's been a fun road getting to where we are today! We wouldn't be where we are now without everyone's support and help along the way.
If you are receiving this email it is because you've been in touch with us at some point along our journey and we can't thank you enough for watching u grow.
2010 has a lot in store for us and I can't wait to send out our next newsletter to share more about where we've been in 2009 and where we're headed next year.
Thank You,
Tim and Cheryl Halberg
