President’s Message

We are half way through my term as president of TAPPA. I had many goals for the organization when I started. We have accomplished a lot, but not nearly as much as I would like to have achieved.

This is where I need the help of every member of TAPPA. We need to step up to the task. There are many needs. I have been and still am looking for someone who was willing to help with the AudioVisual set up for each meeting. If you would like to help please let me know. For that person in our group who is the party animal, we could use some support organizing a monthly coffee. The goal is to have an opportunity to get to know our members in a casual, non-threatening environment. We don’t need an agenda, we need someone to coordinate a location and get the word out. We could use some help with social media. Among the photography community in the greater Tampa Bay Area TAPPA is not well known. I did a Google search for “professional photographers Tampa Bay.” Google came back with over one million results in less than a second. Isn’t it logical that if they knew about our great organization they might be interested in coming as a guest at least once.

We need to be telling people about what we are and what we do for our members. If you have a favorite project that you think would be fun to incorporate into our functions, please let me know.

If you know of a speaker that you would like to invite let us know. I am going to paraphrase John F Kennedy, Ask not what TAPPA can do for you, Ask what you can do for TAPPA. We are looking for members who would like to be part of the leadership team and run for the Board of Directors.

There will be more on this in the near future, but if you are interested now is the time to say something.

This Month’s Program

Beautiful Boudoir Instilling Confidence in Others Through Portrait Photography Rhea Lewis

This program will give insight into the transformative nature of boudoir photography for women; that it’s not just about taking pretty pictures. It discusses why everyday women seek this style of photography experience; if there is enough of the market for it and if you can build a business with it. It will go over what it takes to be successful in this market and if this genre is right for you. The speaker will share her personal journey into this style and why she has chosen it. She will then go over how she does it; from lead generation, to booking the client, to client consultation, to her version of the boudoir experience, her set design process, posing to flatter your subject, special editing techniques, sales presentation and her pricing strategy. She is an open book and eager to share her knowledge in this new and empowering experience for women from all walks of life.
