I am always learning as I go. What I learned from Heather’s {Walk The Shot} was that I completely underestimated the time frame that this workshop would take…like bad! ;-) We didn’t end until 12:35am but I said “it ain’t over ’till it’s over.” I worked really hard to create a workbook that would not only keep us on track but not allow us to miss a single topic. There is so much to cover and for those of you who know me so well and say to yourself…”I am sure that you talked a lot”…yes, you are right! However, I must give myself credit for not allowing the conversation to steer away from photography or business hardly ever…if at all. In fact, I think that the only time that Sheila and I chatted personally was on our trips to and from the restroom. This is difficult for me but people are spending a considerable amount of money to learn and I am there to teach. I want to give 100+% within the time alloted. I hope that Sheila and Heather would agree that I did.

Sunday’s {Walk The Shot}
May 18, 2010{Walk The Shot} Sheila Harran
May 10, 2010Again one of those crazy chance meetings through the wonderful world of social networking. Sheila is best friends with a friend of one of my long time clients. She had seen some of my work because her best friend commented on an image of mine with another client. One more reason why Facebook is so important in my business. It truly is a unique way to connect universally with people you know and those you hope to know. Sheila scheduled a family session with me and we chatted briefly throughout the day about her love for photography as well. I didn’t realize at the time that soon enough I would be {Walking The Shot} with her. I am so excited! And also happy to share that Sheila is expecting baby number two. Congratulations again! XOXO
Investing In Your Clients
April 20, 2010As many of you know, I had the distinct honor of speaking in the SmugMug booth at WPPI this year. When initially asked I feverishly pondered what I would talk about? And then the simple thought occurred to me…Investing In Your Clients. This is the backbone of my personal business structure. Something that comes natural to me and would be easy for me to speak about. Considering the fact that I do not advertise…I depend on my clients to refer me out to their inner circles. If at any point I chose not to whole heartedly invest in each and every one of my clients why in the world would I expect them to invest in me? I wouldn’t. Period.
Happy Valentine’s Day
February 14, 2010It’s a gorgeous sunny day in Jacksonville Florida. There is a chill in the air but you can’t help wanting to be outside today. My 3 boys and I…yes Hubby is included as one of my boys…are spending this Valentine’s Day as a family. We are doing a few things around the house and then going out for a family Valentine’s date.
