My name is Robert
Provencher. I’ve been in the portrait photography business
for over twenty five years. I run my own portrait and
wedding studio with my wife Tina in a small city of 90,000.
Everything I teach and preach and
harp about is based on real studio experience. I believe in
good old fashioned hard work (working at something you LOVE!!),
setting goals, learning all the time, being grateful,
living life to the absolute fullest, letting others live their
lives to their fullest, and helping out whenever and wherever
I meet those fortunate people who have the enthusiasm, drive
and passion to succeed at whatever puts a spark in their eyes
and fire under their seats.

Recent comments from attendees:
"Great seminar!! This was a good leaning experience. I appreciate
receiving the useful printed information. This was not an "infomercial"
like so many other "photo seminars". Thanks for all the great
info..." Bob Stauffer,

"This was the best one-day training course on digital and
photoshop tutorials of all the one day courses I have attented. It was
also the best value you receive for your money in the field of wedding
photography. Highly recommended...." Lana Linetsky
Photohop Editor,

"Rob and James, what a great seminar! The very best I have
attended in the past year. An afternoon of information presented in
an easy to understand language. Loved the total lack of upper level
"tech-talk"....a lot of energy and excitement. You are obviously
an awesome team that work seamlessly together. Thanks for an incredible
afternoon!" Ward Robertson

"For some odd reason... I trust you guys.. Maybe because I
get more ahhs and ooohs with my photography and maybe because my skill
has probably tripled since February... and maybe because I've made more
money on Portrait sessions this year then in the last 6 years combined..."
