Local Photographers Attend International Photographic Convention
Big things in store for clients of Tim Walck Photography

Coudersport, PA – Tim & Meg of Tim Walck Photography in Coudersport expanded their skills by attending Imaging USA, the longest running professional photographic convention and expo in the United States.  They joined thousands of industry professionals attending this event February 1-3 in Nashville, Tenn.

“This was a great experience for our studio.  We are believers in consistent, continuous education and the development of our craft.  We made many new connections, including a few world-class photographers, and formed alliances with product crafters, and photographic equipment distributers. 

Our clients can expect to see an expansion in our unique product line this year, as well as some exciting new event coverage options.”
-       Tim Walck studio owner

“Over the years, we have attended many conventions, but the highlight of each year was and still is attending Imaging USA,” adds former PPA President, Tim Walden.  “The education everyone has access to here is nearly unlimited, from speaker after speaker presenting their messages, to when friends come together and share.”

Photography classes focused on different specialties and tricks of the trade, geared toward improving business and photographic skills, including a slate of classes sponsored by Adobe on how to better use those software tools.  Imaging USA featured presentations from some of the biggest names in the industry, including Thom Rouse, Hanson Fong, Russ Harrington, Kareem Black and more.  

Education expanded beyond the classrooms at Imaging USA, too.  The Imaging Expo tradeshow highlighted hundreds of the industry’s leading vendors showcasing their products, and the Walcks were able to watch product demos and pick vendors’ brains for the best solutions.

“We have had a few ideas for product innovations and things we would like to offer our clients that are 100% unique.  At the expo, we were able to build relationships with professional imaging craftsmen and share these ideas.  We are very excited to see where we go from here,” says Tim.

For Tim and Meg Walck, the education and inspiration gained at Imaging USA will benefit clients in the coming year.  “This year we will be improving our workflow to provide an even speedier delivery of finished products.  On a totally different note, we will be offering more educational opportunities at our shop and in the community, because we both love to teach and help others.  We have never been this excited for a new year in business”, says studio owner, Tim Walck.

So You Want To Be A Photographer?

Are you interested in becoming a photographer?  Do you want to turn your passion for creating images into a source of income to support yourself and your family? Tim Walck Photography will soon be offering online courses in photography training, and portrait business training.  Each course will span 4-8 weeks.  Every student who participates in all classes will gain the tools necessary to succeed in the wedding and portrait photography business. ---- I started my photography business with only $2,000, which I had saved from working as a tele-marker, social services provider, and substitute teacher, all while being a full time graduate student at Mansfield University.  That was enough to buy a camera, lens, and flash.  I poured my heart and soul into photography, read everything I could get my hands on, and began to build my business.  After 3 short years of juggling multiple jobs, and being a photographer on the side, I made the leap into phot...

The Struggle with Senior Portraits Posing for Guys

By
If you search Pinterest for senior photos, overwhelmingly, girls show up.  Tons and tons of examples of beautiful senior girls in flowery fields, on the town, in a stream.  There are a few exceptions (and some really great ones) for guys, but it made me stop and think about the struggle with taking senior photos of boys.  Sure, many of them aren't really into it, but rather having photos done because mom said so.  Many aren't used to having such undivided and direct attention showered their way.  Also, the teenage years can be awkward for boys.  Where do you put your hands?  How do you look like you're not enjoying it too much?  What if you're not into sports?  The struggle is real... but fixable.   Here are our some of our best senior portraits and tips for making them feel comfortable : #1.  Talk to them and wait for just the right moment for the "natural smile".     #2.  Photograph them in places the...

Valerie Gaberseck: Mom & Me Winner

By
In late April, Walck Portraits advertised that we were looking for nominations for exceptionally deserving mommas.  We wanted to celebrate a few moms that deserved a special portrait session and some gift prints because of how hard they work to take care of their families. With over 25 applicants, it was so hard to choose, but one of the most endearing nominations was for Valerie Gaberseck .  Normally, women aren't keen on their mother-in-laws, but Valerie was nominated by her daughter-in-law Angelee Kamats .  There were many, many great things that Angelee stated about Valerie, but there were a few things that stood out the most: Again...the fact that she was nominated by her daughter-in-law.   This doesn't happen often. She's a mom of four:  two adult boys and two teenage daughters.  Phew.  That's some work. She has faced many personal issues within her family, and yet she still perseveres.  Everyday. She stays true to her faith in God....
