Happy New Year 2010!!!! Great Things on the Horizon

Hi there and Happy New Year to all! I managed to eke out some relaxtion time over the holidays and read some fantastic books by David duChemin and got caught up on Zack Arias's blog and I feel inspired and energized to hit the ground running this year. I feel it is important to constantly be reading and studying the works and thoughts of others as it pertains to Photography to keep the creative juices flowing and to maintain my enthusiasm which could be negatively effected by a slow economy and cold weather. I have nothing but realistic yet high hopes for this year. I have already had a session with my exuberant model Cindy and we got alot of great images captured in my small basement studio. She really brings it everytime she shows up and its hard not to be enthused and inspired. I have posted those images on Facebook and my PhotoReflect storefront. I have also set up a consultation for an April wedding and I hope it is the first of several. I really like small weddings as they are more intimate and a photographer can bond more with the clients and it shows in the resulting images.
Patty, my fearless assistant and right hand, has taken on various marketing and advertising ideas and is in the process of making them happen. She brings so much enthusiasm and energy to the table it is contagious. Not too say I am any kind of slouch. We are looking at doing some varied exhibiting around Fairfield County and we are outlining some new concepts(for us) this new year such as Portrait Parties, Canvas Gallery Wraps, Metal Prints, Storyboards, and an array of other image display options in addition to the traditional matting and framing which we extend a nice discount on. We look forward to working with all our former clients and all the new ones we haven't met yet in 2010!-john
