Here we are again, coming up on Labor Day and it’s starting to feel a little like fall in New England with temperatures dropping into the 40’s at night. With a short holiday week coming up I thought I would share with you a couple of fun, new things our clients are doing.
As I discussed in my last blog post this is a great time of year to explore new avenues and ideas for your business. Kay Eskridge is clearly ahead of the curve and has several new business enhancements up and running. Kay has run a successful portrait studio business in Phoenix, Arizona since 1986 and during that time she has created lots of energy with events like Birthdays Rock, Girls Night In, When I was one, two, three . . . and Paws for a Cause. When I spoke with her the other day she said that she has recently introduced two new websites in addition to her current site: Images by Kay.
Kay has put together a new site called Learn Grow Succeed to promote and develop opportunities for speaking engagements. Kay has often been involved in educational and motivational programming to photography associations across the country and it’s a good time in her career to reengage in something she enjoys — so Learn Grow Succeed acts as a virtual resume and aids in generating ideas. Kay will be speaking at the WPPI Road Trip in Dallas on the 28th of this month.
Kay has also decided to leverage her great studio with her new site Celebrate Sexy. Kay and her staff have created a comfortable studio environment in which to capture images of a woman’s more private personality.
I also spoke with Kash Johnson who, along with his wife Sherry, moved to a new home/studio about a year ago and have started offering underwater portraits to their clientele. Kash and Sherry own Classical Photography in Carrollton, Georgia.
Kash has been refining the process this summer and now has a pretty good handle on the technology. He’s using natural light in these shots and has enhanced it by covering the bottom of the pool with Mylar (just like the silver and gold balloons) to help reflect the light. Check out some of these images from their first session. Kash mentioned that he has some new shots to post from more recent sessions; so check back in in a week or so to see how the underwater technique is evolving.
Please note that PhotoOne will be closing at 2:00 pm EDT on Friday and will be closed on Labor Day. If you have an emergency situation, with your studio management software, please call and we will get back to you in a timely fashion. All other technical support, customer relationship and sales requests will be responded to on Tuesday when we reopen at 9:00 EDT. Enjoy your weekend and I hope you get some great weather, a little BBQ and a couple of laughs before the kids start back to school – for real!
