When I attended WPPI this year I had no idea what was in store for me. I knew I would meet amazing photographers and would be completely overwhelmed with information but I never expected to find such an AMAZING Christian community. Photographer’s Unite is a group started by David Jay and some other West Coast photographers that wanted to form a way for Christian photographers to come together and connect. They didn’t want to create a networking group or host a monthly business strategy meeting, they just wanted photographers to come together and create awesome friendships.
At WPPI, Showit held a Photographer’s Unite worship service and it blew me away. There are so many photographers from all over the country that love the Lord! Not only do they love the Lord but they love sharing their lives with people! One photographer couple that just amazed me with their kindness and genuine hearts were Zach and Jody Gray from Nashville. Their willingness to love on people and form friendships was awesome and I want to be like that. I want to be a photographer that desires to “collect” other photographer friends! I want to get to know other people who share my same passion, who spend wayyyy too much time with their imac and who need advice on balancing family/work/business. We need each other and I think it’s about time that us VA,MD,DC photographers get together!
Soooo…if you haven’t already heard, Photographer’s Unite | VA MD DC is official and if you’re in the area, become a fan! The exciting news is that we’re hanging out! This Friday @ 7pm in Fredericksburg, VA! We’ll be meeting at O’Charley’s off of exit 130b in Central Park!
