Hello all! After attending a seminar a couple weeks ago, I was impressed to offer up some advice for the work place. In school, they taught us how to dress for work both casual and business. We were taught what was appropriate and what was not professional.
That being said, when the presenter took the stage, I was offended as she walked up the steps. What she wore was nothing that I would consider professional wear or presenter wear. What shocked me after seeing what she was wearing, which would have been fine for a casual day in the office but not professional, was that she was not new to the seminar circuit. While the material that she was sharing was good information, the distraction of what she was wearing diminished the value of the presentation.
Afterwards, I spoke with some coworkers of mine (who had also attended the seminar) and discovered that I was not the only one offended. Please understand that it is not a gender thing that I am harping on, if a guy was the presenter and up there in a polo-shirt and khakis I would be telling him to go out and buy a business suit. These are just the basics that everyone should know without really having to be told.
Remember, if you look professional and speak professionally, whomever you are speaking with will only remember how professional you are. Also, those three little words your mother taught you to say, "Please and Thank You," go a long way in the workplace. The more courteous you are to others, the more courteous they will be to you.
Talk to y'all soon!

Life Updates
Hello all, I can't believe how long it has been since I was last on here. Above is a photo of my sister that I took of her during a portrait session. Since the last time, Christmas came and went and a new year was started. My cousin Jason was married in Savannah, GA this spring and my family and I went on vacation.
I am currently working on a photography project for the Chattanooga Visitor's Bureau. This project is allowing me to rediscover the things to do in Chattanooga.
Talk to y'all soon!
