The Year of the Tiger!
I hope everyone had a safe and happy holidays! I was able to relax for a little bit, catch up on some reading that I sorely miss doing and reassess where I am and where I’m heading in my career.
So…what does this next year look like for me? For one, a lot of travel! I’ve been asked to teach workshops at Gulf Photo Plus in Dubai! I leave at the end of February and will be in Dubai the first week of March. I will be there with the big heavy hittin’ honchos: Zack Arias, David Hobby, etc etc. But I am especially excited to meet Joey L. That kid really blows my mind as far as how young he is, how inspired he is and how bomb his work is. After Dubai, I am showing some photographs at the SNAP! Exhibition in Orlando, Florida from May 20th to the 23rd. And NYC in between all the rest! That’s the first six months of the year. I can only imagine that the next six months will be just as busy. But what will I be doing when I’m in LA besides shooting? Doing more SEMINARS!!
Speaking of Seminars…. I had alot of lovely people write me recently with a review of what they thought of the previous seminar I held back in November. They even sent me pictures they took at the seminar! So I thought I would showcase a couple of them!
We have the next 6 months of seminars blocked out at Smashbox Studios here in West Hollywood, where we held the last one. The first one is February 6 and 7th. April 4th and 5th is the next one. And June 5th and 6th is the 3rd one this year. If we get a good enough turnout on these 3, I plan on doing them once a month here in LA for the remainder of the year. The weekend long workshop is limited to 10, to ensure everyone gets enough attention from me, and ample enough time with the models to shoot.
Check out more information on the Seminar here!

Problogger.com asks: Do You Have Any Blogging New Years Resolutions for 2010? I AM going to TRY to write more posts on my blog for 2010. And I’m also thinking of offering a private mentorship program. I’m just trying to figure out if I can actually find the time to do all this. In between prepping and shooting, promoting and marketing, teaching and reviewing, I dare say I have little time left for my private life. But you know, I wouldn’t change any of this for the world. Being busy is a sign of success and I’m definitely living my dream!! 2010 is the year of the Tiger which is my Chinese Astrological sign. David (my husband) and I have been singing a little song around the house lately. Sung to the tune of “The Eye of the Tiger” , we’re singing The YEAR of the Tiger. I feel good about this year! I’ll have loads to report to you and events to take you to. You’ll be right there with me, in spirit and in words and hopefully some of you can come out and attend one of my seminars because it truly is just like one big happy family!! Not only do you walk away a better fashion shooter, you do end up having a good time! And if you live in Dubai, either come to my workshops or drop by to say HI. Same with Orlando! If you live nearby, you gotta’ come by!!
At any rate, I wish you all a hugely successful 2010, full of love, happiness and prosperity!! Rock on and Stay Tuned! xoxo

I will definitely come down and say a big Hi!
Had the pleasure of attending Zack’s Onelight workshop last year at GPP. I was undecided about which Photo Guru’s workshop to attend this year and saw your name crop up at the last instance. Was thrilled to bits.. You can expect to see me in the front row 
Good luck with the smoking!! It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done yet the most rewarding! Struggle with the first month and the rest is cake! Happy New Year Melissa! I look forward to many more informative blogs and more of your beautiful work!
Wow, very cool that you’re going to be joining DH and ZA in Dubai. I can’t believe you’ll be in Orlando Fl, now that I left, but would be cool to know what you’ll be doing in NYC, where I currently live. So, keep us posted on NYC.
Already looks like 2010 will be a busy year for you. Thanks for taking the time and being open to sharing what you do in this blog.
Happy New Year Melissa.
May you have a successful 2010, full of love, happiness and prosperity too!!
Sounds like you will be Busy, doing what you enjoy…. That Rocks : )
I’m just waaayyy to far away to get to one of these, as much as I would love to go. Congrats on the Dubai booking. I’ve keenly followed many bloggers posting from there.
I am happy for you, you are clearly talented and well organized and every moment of your time you contribute towards training others in workshops is precious. All the best for 2010 and a happy new year to you too.
Hope we get to see you when you are in Orlando.
You are doing a SEMINAR IN DUBAI? and you get to meet JOEY L.??? YOU ARE MY HERO!!!
Happy New Year! I wish you tons of success for 2010!
I just signed up a ticket for your new seminar! It looks awesome!
happy new year!

Happy and successful 2010! Just had someone ask me about the experience in the seminar and gave another thumbs up…
Happy New Year! success for 2010!

Good luck with the smoking…the prescription gum works wonders…wish I had the time to make a seminar. Have a great year.
Melissa I don’t see the Sydney dates on your seminar list LOL.
Yeah I cant seem to find them either Kristy….
Melissa,
Best of luck to you in 2010. I enjoy seeing your work and reading the blog. If you are doing any seminars in NYC I’ll be there.
happy new year, best wishes
Ah – saw your name on the GPP list and started looking up airfair to Dubai (what a line up this year). Sadly too rich for me (and a long way from Australia).
Next time you’re down this way….
Hi, loving the blog, great work. Great to see you’re coming to Dubai too! I’ve been assisting here for just over 2 years, although I haven’t been able to do as much fashion as i would have liked.
I’m going to save some money and hopefully come to a class, but I’m a bit broke at the moment! Don’t suppose you need a second assistant while you’re here???!!?
Love your work,

Hi!
I love your blog and check it out almost on a daily basis! I’m also writing on the behalf of a group of other fashion photographers.
I’ve read your posts on the portfolio books and found it very informative. However, as I much as I like the House of Portfolios book, it costs as much as a used lens here in Britain. Do you know of any cheaper retailers? One that would provide a book that costs less than $100?
We have done a lot of research on the internet and we found either very cheap books that cost $30 or very expensive ones over $150, but nothing in between.
Thank you,
Andy
