Online Summit of Live Events 

The Free Week Online Summit includes photo education with four sets of presenters. 

To kick off the week, Sue Bryce, Cat-Ford Coates, and Saray Taylor-Roman will teach how to optimize your client consultations for making big sales in Session 4 of the 12 Month Startup Program. 

Then, Angie Whitten and Kevin Conde will host three Zoom Accountability Sessions. Member attendees will share advice on running a portrait studio and nonmembers will be able to participate in these calls via the chat box in The Portrait System YouTube Channel or on The Portrait System Facebook page.  

Later in the week, Portrait Masters Awards and Accreditation Director Richard Wood will celebrate the top twenty images chosen in each competition category of the latest round of The Portrait Masters Awards and Accreditation photo competition and will recognize those who have achieved accreditation.
