Melody Steigerwald Photography | WPPI 2010









Wedding Portrait Photographers International

I am reflecting on my amazing week at WPPI 2010, I was thrilled again for the 3rd year in a row to be in attendance at WPPI Convention and Trade Show. WPPI has become the largest professional photographic convention and trade show in the country and celebrated its 30th Anniversary this year with roughtly 13,000 photograhers.

It was an amazing experience from the Business Institute I attended all day on Saturday to all the many programs & classes I attended over the week long event! My feet were tired, and I woke up at 5:30am several mornings in a row trying to get my kids out the door and off to school so I could be on my way back down to the MGM again, then only to turn around & go back again at night! I met up with some of the most amazing photographers in the country (a little "starstruck" I might add) along with getting to reconnect with some old friends, & hang out my good friend Heather Magliarditi an amazing Vegas Photographer who I adore!

The trade show rocked with over 300 vendors from all parts of the photographic industry. I even won a great new blog from ProPhoto Blogs, and I am beyond excited to get that in the works. I found some cool new products and exciting new print options that I cannot wait to pass on to everyone and actually order some for my own home!

It was just a great inspiring week to say the least....now to go through all my notes and bags of goodies, samples, etc from the trade show, I love it and loved just being in the mix with so many other photographers at one time was a blast!!! I LOVE BEING A PHOTOGRAPHER!

Wow! Thank you for the sneak peak, they are so adorable. I just love them and can’t wait to see the rest of the gallery. You are truly an amazing photographer. I love that you have photographed Evan from the time she was a baby and now as a 3 year old. It’s always fun to visit your website and see Evan sitting in that flower pot or in the Santa hat. It seems like ages ago that she was that small! Nobody captures her the way that you do and we always look forward to our photo sessions with you. Thank you again!

About Me!!

I have found my passion! I love my job and everything about it!
I am a stay at home mom of 2 beautiful and amazing children, my sweet daughter Chloe who is 6 years old and little Peyton who is 4. They have been my driving force and constant inspiration for everything I do in my life and they are truly the reason photography has become my passion. I started snapping away when they were just babies and over the years, in college & intense studys have developed my passion.

Thank you to everyone that has supported my adventure in photography, especially my family, friends and most of all beautiful clients!!
