  "Creating the Perfect Commercial Client Experience" with kenneth richard

  
  Kenny has been a photographer for 15 years, 5 years of that being full time. He began shooting for Airbnb during its 1st year in existence. His business grew over the years due to his meticulous attention to detail not only for the project at hand but particularly for his clients. Customer service is the key to what we do in photography. He began his PPA journey in 2017, earned his CPP in 2019 which was the same year he joined Dallas PPA. He earned his Master of Photography Degree in 2022. He has served the community of DPPA as a board member for the past 2 years and is 1 of 14 newly elected council members representing the state of Texas on behalf of PPA. He was a Grand Imaging Award finalist in his first year of image competition for IPC in 2019 and has since produced a number of Loan images as well as won multiple awards including Dallas PPA 2 time commercial 1st place photographer, Dallas PPA photographer of the year and recently PPA IPC Diamond Photographer of the year in the commercial category.

  "From Environmental Photography to Studio Fine Art: How to Transform " with molly boulay

  Have you ever dreamed of pursuing a different genre of photography but were afraid to make a drastic change? That was Molly 6 years ago. She had been running a successful senior portrait studio for almost 15 years at the time, but felt called to pursue Fine Art portraiture. Although she dabbled a bit in the Fine Art portrait world, she maintained her senior and family portrait business, leaving her little time and energy to start essentially a new business. Then, last year she took a leap of faith and launched Boulay Fine Art Portraiture. Molly will explain how she accomplished this and hopefully give you the courage to pursue whatever type of photography brings you joy and actually make money doing so.

  Molly Brown-Boulay, Certified Professional Photographer and Master Photographer, has been striving for success in her portrait business, Boulay Photography, for over 20 years. In 2022 Molly established Boulay Fine Art Portraiture, a studio based fine art business. Molly is an award-winning photographer based in Franklin, Tennessee, just outside of Nashville. A long-time member of the Professional Photographers of America, her work has been featured in Luxury Home Magazine, Senior Year Magazine, Senior Muse Magazine, Knoxville Magazine, and Nashville Parent. She has won multiple awards at the state level and was a Grand Imaging Award Finalist in the 2021 Southeastern District Photographic Competition. She loves a good Period Drama—both in movies and novels—and can be found riding her bike or running all over Williamson County in her spare time. Molly is a wife to Dennis and proud mother to three amazing children who are currently pursuing their own brands of success in college, post-graduate school, and the work world. Her middle daughter has a side hustle as a photographer and will hopefully one day take over Molly's business so she can retire!
