Bellies and Babies Seminar

I am thinking about attending and was wondering if anyone would like to go with me. It seems to be a wonderful learning experience with a great teacher. Here is the info I have on it.

Feb 11th from 5- 11pm in Baton Rouge







Sandy "Sam" Puc', owner of Expressions by Sandy Puc' in Littleton, Colorado, is known for her passion, energy and great enthusiasm for her art. She is a nationally acclaimed photographer and businesswoman who shares her wisdom and techniques with photographers at all stages of their careers by traveling and lecturing nationally and internationally at seminars and schools. A frequent contributor to professional journals, Sam looks forward to publication of her first book on children's photography in early 2008.

Sam is committed to her industry and helping her colleagues, and she currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Professional Photographers of America. Sam also holds the prestigious title of Print Master from Canon USA.

Her images have been displayed in numerous magazines, public and professional buildings, billboards and showcased on television. She also shares her abilities with the media when they are in need of professional expertise and has been featured on television and radio as a portrait photography expert.

Sam believes in giving back, both to her immediate community and to her professional colleagues. Since its inception, Expressions Photography has been committed to community service. Each year Expressions conducts several portrait fundraisers to benefit such organizations as the Denver Affiliate of the Susan G.

She also provides gift certificates to local schools and organizations to assist them in their fundraising. Sam is a co-founding member of Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep , a non-profit organization that provides portraiture services to families whose babies will never leave the hospital.

Expressions Photography by Sandy Puc' is known for their accomplished photographers, helpful sales consultants, skilled imaging artists, and gracious hospitality.



"In today's world of photography there are great educators and then there are those special few that touch your heart, soul and spirit. Sam is most definitely one of those speakers! She not only brings brilliant and priceless information to the crowd, but she speaks and shares with so much emotion and honesty that you cannot help but fall in love with her and with photography all over again. Sam's programs are always a must see and a don't miss! Make sure you make this program a top priority."

"Sam, Sam, Sam . . . what can I say about her? I've sat here all day at the airport trying to think of something derogatory to say but can't come up with anything. So many times people say one thing, and think another. That's definitely not true of Sandy Puc'. She's solidly sweet to the core, a genuinely concerned speaker and all around Popsicle wielding maniac. Really though, I love Sam and her efforts to give back. If she had nothing to give, she'd go find someone who did, and make them give."

"It's one thing to listen to a speaker or trainer in a seminar scenario. Of course you get valuable information, if you apply it. But what you don't get to see are the real 'nuts and bolts' of what the speaker is sharing. Well, this past fall, I had the great privilege, no... blessing, to do just that. When it comes to marketing, Sandy Puc' is definitely tops, as a speaker and as a recognized expert. I received the benefits of this first hand when I spent a few days at her Littleton, Colorado studio. Impressed? I was beyond impressed! It is really rare to experience a speaker model so well what he/she speaks from the stage within the bounds of their own business. In my book, that's credibility. Simply said, what she teaches, she applies, successfully. Want to grow your business, get more people through the door? Don't we all! Sandy Puc' is the one to show you how. Thank you Sandy! What a difference you make!"

"Thank you all so much. The way you share who you are and allow yourself to be emotionally available is awesome. You gave me more than I ever thought was possible from a traditional type of seminar. You answered exactly what I needed to know, that's a first."

"Sam's approach with children and families has opened our eyes in all aspects of our photography. Many of her marketing ideas and concepts have been enthusiastically received by our community, and many have been implemented as soon as we returned to our studio! Our personal and financial bottom lines have been enhanced by all we have learned from Sam!"
