Too Long

I can't believe where the time has gone since my last Blog post, is it really over a year!!
What a year it has been, from both a photo point of view and more personally as well.
I will sort out some time to try and summarise the last 12 months, hopefully sooner rather than later.
I guess the highlight for last year was opening a studio in the De Valance Pavillion in Tenby for a about 3 months during the summer. It was a bit Heath Robinson as the space was shared and I had to keep moving stuff in and out when others needed the space. But we had a go.
The first week was poor, but people soon got to realise that we were there and the business started to come. From dogs to babies, from families to ebay products we shot them all.
There was the lady who wanted only head and shoulder shots, but they had to be doctored to make her look years younger...which we did. She literally cried tears of joy!

The location wasn't good and the hiring cost became prohibitive so I called it a day. I am please I did it though. It showed there is a demand for a "High Street" studio, but it must be in the right place and look a lot more professional than we did.

We did pick up several Wedding enquiries, some of which have turned into bookings for 2013.

I'm still getting requests for studio shots but without some decent space I am having to turn this business away. I'm frantically looking for somewhere to relocate a permanent studio, it isn't easy.

I managed to shoot 4 weddings, all of which went really well, everyone was pleased with the albums that Dave and I produced.

Thats about all for now, will catch up again soon.
