Professional Photographers of America’s (PPA) Chicks Who Click™, a retreat for women in photography, flies to the Bahamas June 25-27, 2007. And this annual event’s educational value is even more spectacular than its exotic vacation destination, with programs ranging from niche marketing and boutique studios to digital art.
“Chicks Who Click™ is a plethora of passion; this event will surely ignite your creative fire,” notes Sandy Puc’, photographer, PPA Board member, and attendee of Chicks Who Click™ every year since its inception.

- Characteristics that make “boutique studios” successful
- Expanded portrait lines, innovative new products, and creative services
- High-end products that can enhance your business image and fulfill your creative passion
- Workflow techniques, including interacting with different clients, choosing equipment, and unique posing and lighting techniques
- How understanding your own strengths and weaknesses will allow you to live your own dreams and take your photography business to the next level
- How to balance the personal with the professional in the field of professional photography.
- And live portrait demonstrations on the beach!
With the wealth of wisdom available, there is no doubt that attendees will leave the conference energized, tanned, and full of new ideas.
