Photographers attending the Boston workshop were able to work a photo shoot with four special children at the end of the instruction.

Boston training features session with special children
   The recent workshop in Everett, MA (near Boston) was hosted by Kelly Cianflone, owner of SCKY Photography (www.sCkyphotography.com). Kelly went out of her way to provide a comfortable and rewarding experience for the six attendees, including securing four children to participate in the model session following the workshop.
   Kelly is not only a talented photographer, but also the mother of a special child, Luca, who has autism.

Yes, there are free lunches!
   The next two SKPA Accreditation Workshops will offer free lunches! These workshops will be held in the Las Vegas, NV area and in Waterloo, IA (see the schedule below).
   The workshop in Iowa is hosted by McKenna Pro Labs (www.Mckennapro.com) and will be held at the studio of McKenna McNelly Photography (www.mckennamcnelly.com). The two businesses (not related) are collaborating to provide a spectacular event in the Midwest that will be well-worth attending.
