Erin Pearlman - Hi Melissa! Thank you so much for writing this post. I am new to the game and this will be my first year at WPPI, so naturally I'm a bit nervous. Thankfully your words were very comforting, so now I feel like I have an even better idea of what to expect when I arrive. I've been stalking the websites of all the speakers and yours is seriously incredible. I know that online presence isn't everything, but I also recognize how valued it is amongst my generation, and you are doing a beautiful job! I was hoping to go to your seminar, but I'm not at the point where I have associate photographers (hehe). Anyways, thank you again for the helpful post and I hope to meet you at the conference! xx Erin
