GOBODA 2010 BOOT CAMP



The whole gang at the Central Library in downtown Seattle (the famous red floor)

GoBoda Boot Camp 2010 has come and gone! What an amazing week we had! We had an awesome group of photographers from all over the country, and even some from Guatemala! We had some gorgeous models who did not hesitate to ensure that our photographers got some amazing photo shoots! 


The boot camp was held at the modern and trendy Hotel Deca in Seattle. We enjoyed 3 jam packed days of inspirational talks, photo shop and album design tips and techniques, amazing photo shoots around Seattle and a full day of business, sales and marketing. We were privileged to have some amazing guest speakers; Jordan Van Horn and Jeremy Allen from System Six, Blair de Laubenfels from Junebug Weddings, marketing strategist extraordinaire Jeff Jochum and our very own Katarina Garner and business consultant Lanae Rivers-Wood


We went to various downtown Seattle locations for our evening photo shoots. A surprise treat for our boot camp attendees was that we rented the Central Library in downtown Seattle for one of the photo shoots and let me tell you, not only did we get stunning photos out of it, but everyone had a blast! That's what it's about; doing what you love and having fun doing it!

"I thought it would be a great opportunity to take my photography to another level. It didn't disappoint! Although pricey at first glance, the workshop was first-class and definitely worth it. Small group size of enthusiastic shooters, fun photo shoots in downtown, and Jim's quirky style and gorgeous images... There was lots and lots of great info on the business and album side of things."

"If you want to improve your skills and rise above the pack, take this workshop.

If you want to catch some of Jim's enthusiasm and Joie de Vivre, take this workshop.

If you want to learn invaluable tips and tricks from the best business team in the biz, take this workshop.


Or you could stay at home and teach yourself. In your basement. Alone.


Make the smart choice!"
