July 17th, 2018 Meeting.
PPWC Welcomes back to the big stage Barbara Brady-Smith!
Recently held the cover of PPA's March 2018 Magazine, Barbara Brady-Smith is a dynamic and fun (incredible) Pet Photographer hailing from the East Bay in Lafayette.
Barbara Brady-Smith burst on the Pet Photography scene in 2011 and quickly established herself as a true artisan in this niche. Her animal photography can be seen in happy homes and on pet food product packaging, annual report covers and print advertising.
Much of her success she attributes to her deep appreciation for the joy animals bring into our lives. She actively shares this joy through photography and by volunteering with her two therapy dogs providing comfort to people of all ages. This emotional and rewarding work is now a personal photography project called “Hug Tails – Portraits of Therapy Pets.”
Barbara has been honored through all levels of PPA including IPC 2013 and 2014 Silver Medalist, 2015 Platinum Medalist, California 2015 Animal Photographer of the Year and many local association awards. She holds her Master of Photography degree and is a Certified Professional Photographer.
A gifted speaker and educator, Barbara loves to share her enthusiasm for animals and photography. She mentors other pet photographers and teaches workshops on pet and horse photography, Lightroom and Photoshop. Barbara’s business skills are top notch too. After earning her MBA at Berkeley, she enjoyed a successful career as a Bank Executive and now uses many of the same management and customer service skills as a small business owner.

Barbara’s experience and skill and her ability to impart this expertise in workshops and presentations is exceptional! Don’t miss her exciting Lightroom and Photoshop presentation!! :)
She will help us out on all levels. Come with your questions. Prepare to be educated! :)
We can't wait to see her again.
There will be no print competition this month (July.)
