Spend a mentoring session or class with them and you will literally "steal their thunder." Andie is the new rock star in newborn photography and Mary is more established photographer who has been creating gorgeous infant portraits since 1999. While their styles differ greatly, they do agree on one thing: You must be different to compete in today's market and you must price effectively in order to run a profitable business. Why reinvent the wheel when you can learn from two talented photographers; after all two heads are better than one.  We hope you can join us for one of our 2012 mentoring sessions or newborn workshops.  New in 2012 will be a "Portfolio Building Workshop" .  For more information and to sign up visit the website.
