Quick story about how well I DON’T promote myself. I was standing at a sports training sessions and chatting with a friend of my son’s grandmother, whom I have known for almost 3 years now. We talk regularly at similar sporting events, birthday parties, etc. Anyhow, she proceeds to tell me how she took her 8 month old granddaughter to get her pictures taken and she wouldn’t smile – not even once! She then said she was taking her BACK to the same place the next morning for a retake or she wasn’t going to buy any. Of course I then asked her (kind of indignantly)’ “well, where did you take her?” Her response was Flash Photography! She looked at me surprised and said why? (Well, again, I OBVIOUSLY do a poor job of promoting myself and my work.) I then ran to my car and grabbed my laptop and proceed to show her my work, told her where my studio was and we arranged to have the granddaughter’s portraits taken the next morning. To my relief…the little girl smiled like CRAZY! We even got a few of her 2 year old brother. It was LOTS of fun, I really enjoyed this session – and learned a valuable lesson in the meantime! Here are some previews! (I even love the pouting one!)
